Re: Sketchbook: Piotr Bystry
Hi, I'm glad you like what I did. I think work with 3D is great improvement in my workflow. I can check how your design will work in 3d enviroment even if I do stuff in my spare time. In production I can easly help team and myself with perspective and some details, which I havent in location layout. Here are some of WIPs… -
Re: The Reaper - aka Sabre Hardsurface Spaceship done
@s1dK it's your spaceship so you do what you want :) But that cockpit layout doesn't really make sense. You have a ton of wasted space to the left and right of the panel, and for any pilot that's shorter than 5'10" more than 1/2 of their view will be inside the cockpit (with 5'10" pilots still only being able to see… -
Re: Hell Sword
Almost done! A little bit more in depth research on the symbols. Used folklore symbols to get inspiration. Need to add a few extra scratches and dirt (around the cross mostly) Thank you for having a look. Renders taken in UE4. Tools: 3ds Max Substance Designer/Painter Photoshop Thought of editing it now. Suprise suprise.… -
Re: how to use stickers, numbers, logos in quixel suite
Ok so what I do (and this might be bad but it worked fine) was to go to the corresponding material folder in DDO, then in Photoshop once you know where you are just create a new layer. It will appear in DDO in the right place. Name it correctly then paste the sticker/number/strip/whatever in to that layer. You will need to… -
Re: what is the difference between game and film for an 3D Artist?
Movies also rather have you do Sub-D modeling, I'm a noob but I still just wanted to point out that modeling with Turbosmooth/ OpenSubd is a tiny bit more cumbersome then just being able to bevel/chamfer an edge and calling it a day. Where I'm currently at we use Max for modeling and Maya for rigging, animation and… -
Re: Megaman X project
Thanks for the feedback, I'm posting retroactively so it is too late to make any changes; however I do appreciate critique for my future projects. For what I had planned I needed a enemy of some sorts. Because of time constraints I settled on a fairly simple design, as you can see by the sloppiness of the concept art I… -
Re: Wasteland Roaming Vehicle
Thank you @theblueturtle_ For this project I was instructed to use multiple sets of texture sheets in order to increase the amount of pixel density we could achieve using 2048 sheets. In his example he was using 3 sets of 2048s but I ended up using 4 sets so in the end I could actually use a single set of 4096 pages. I… -
Re: General Retopology question
While laying out your UVs is always a good idea, it's not necessary here. You can use PUV tiles or UV Master in Zbrush to automatically create them. Of course, it probably won't be ideal in Photoshop, but if all you're doing is poly-painting, it doesn't really matter. My workflow these days is to unwrap it with this, run… -
Re: UV unwrapping issue with Blender-xNormal workflow
Also just in case I have to go with a high resolution texture as stated in the previous comment, it would take up a few MBs just for this particular normal map. At the same time, my static mesh costs only around a few hundred KBs at the most. So in this situation, which would be more taxing on the system? Using a high… -
Re: TGA Physically Based Lighting CGFX Shader for Maya Viewport
thanks guys :) r_fletch_r> I'm afraid not. It should be possible to export to 3DSMax from Mental Mill. But there has been several hand edited additions to the .cgfx file after exporting. Mainly to get the mip-level functionality working since Mental Mill doesn't support texCUBElod command. Also to get a passable UI in Maya…
