Re: Concepts training
you need to brush up on a few more fundamentals. don't take shortcuts. you are jumping into trying concept far too early....you need to learn a lot more before you head into that direction, otherwise you will stunt your learning you are still lacking some very fundamental training. do lots more material studies & still… -
Re: Normal Map Issues (Newbie)
Thanks loads for the feedback guys, its exactly what I needed. I took what you both said on board and tried to re-scale the parts of the model so they take up more pixel space on the UV. Also I beveled the edges on the tabletop and softened the edge in Maya before cutting so it gave me the same effect as my normal map… -
Re: Realistic Tropical Island - Aztlan -
A Thankyou :) ... I have almoust finished with the Beach Rocks, I just need some pellbes and I guess that set is done I will be able to resue probably by changing its textures for other areas of the Island ...Eventually I can make just a Cliff on the style ... Then I have another already made set of rocks wich is more… -
Re: Marmoset3 subsurface vs Marmoset2 skin needs help
The skin shader was redone for Toolbag 3, the new shader is more physically accurate, has better colors, less artifacts and much better translucency now as well. We've simplified some of the controls, blurring is no longer separated into multiple passes in the shader - the final result of the lighting is blurred instead.… -
Re: muscles with normals?
Looks like that detail overlay you've put on in Photoshop is nuking a lot of the underlying normalmap detail. How are you applying that? If you're generating from the NVidia filter, make sure that you set the layer's blend mode to Overlay, and to Image -> Adjustments -> Levels, change the channel to "Blue" in the drop-down… -
Re: Redneck
I like the character, however: 1) The folds are too busy and all over the place imo. It's a bit of a hard read. I'd recommend cleaning that up. Sometimes less is more. 2) The metatarsals are too prominent on the feet and it's very distracting. You don't really need those to show that much. Some soft and relatively hard… -
Re: Introducing Knald - Open Beta!
I'm just curious what kind of seam are you referring to? If you have a hard edge then there will (with any tool) be a discontinuity in the baked ao. Is this the seam you are referring to? When you bake ao off of your actual hi-res in XSI then I imagine the hi-res doesn't have any hard edges on it? There are two experiments… -
Re: Reusing your own base mesh
You know, you CAN create the silhouette in ZB (from whatever) and retopo that all in under a day. You will have your ZB project setup, a low poly made (and most likely have a dirty/full UV map done), a decent face count for texturing in ZB if you don't have Mudbox, and everyone is happy. Most likely, you could also start… -
Re: Questions about UV mapping and UDIMS.
You can use UDIM unwrapped models in games too , just usually have to make several sub-materials, one for each UV tile. I have even seen a script for 3d max that could do it automatically for UDIM unwrapped objects. In fact UDIM is just a naming convention that makes some 3d soft to load textures automatically without… -
Re: Learning the Nintendo style
Wellllll.... they're mostly Looney Tunes games so the artstyle might be slightly different from what you're looking for. But if you still want, you can check them out. I really like for example Looney Tunes: Space Race and Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures. The first example I find very good as a modeling reference.…
