Hey Community :D , Its my first time in a forum and I hope I don't break any rules by just opening a new topic. If so please let me know for the future. In a nutshell: I am quite new to the 3D modeling world but I keep learning. For a group project (a game) I have to make some models. I made them partly in Blender and…
Hey, I'm the TD for my third year short film group and we are doing a story based around having knitted characters. In one point of the plot progression, one of the main character (who is knitted) starts to unravel. So basically I have to design a mesh and a rig that allows for the character to be animated normally and to…
[edit: a few versions ago i changed the name from SoMuchDiffuse to SoMuchMaterials as I have included a specular and gloss generator and now a DOTA 2 version!] Hey friends! I've been working on this material for Substance Painter to help make hand painted textures for a while now, and finally released it on Gumroad.…

I can make a polysphere in just 3 steps in Blender: Add cube (shift-A), subdivide cube(Tab>w>subdivide), scale to sphere (alt-shift-S). Metalliandy even made a…

I am trying to make my grandfather a special present for his birthday. He is going to be 100 in May, and he is having this big party. My mom…

I am planning on making a fake gameplay video for a Stratagy RPG using PSP specs. I need an engine that can handle scripted sequences well and i can create…
Howdy, I'm trying to make a realistic, home-made (heavily varnished) wooden base. The top looks cool, but I'm having real difficulties with the sides and its chamfer. Instead of white highlights, I'm getting a dull grey 'sanded' effect. I'm guessing it has something to with the floor material reflecting off of it, or maybe…
I knew from an early age that I wanted a job that involved games. When I was little I wanted to work at gaming magazine, but when I became I teenager I realized that people made games as a job and started to learn programming and 3D. If a game I liked had an editor I would always try to make maps for them. I spent a lot of…
