hey all, I did this after a convo with a friend this morning, on the artstation page are links to the painter file and toolbag scene so you can see how I made such a mess. The UV's blow hard but that wasn't the point so please excuse :D I hope its of use to someone: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Yd5mK
Now that I've more or less come further than I did before it's hard to write this thread like "feedback to my former self", so I guess this will just turn into a WiP thread where I make some jabs at my former self, "this is what you should have done". Did some further tweaking of the lighting to get a softer result. I know…
couple of little things in addition to what's been said above. the shampoo bottle in the shower is a little bright imo. the contrast to the dark corner is creating quite a focal point where really you want the eye to be drawn to the blood stains and the shadow. also i think the blood stains look a little bit too forced at…
Phoenix, I think using the bare amount of geo is the point of the exercise, it's about seeing how convincingly you can paint form without actually having any, like this. I agree about the AO though, especially on the second box. It's hard to judge the depth of the planks without any occlusion, also there's no difference in…
I can sculpt and animate, but I've never been good with color. Any suggestions on what I can do with this thing to bring it to life? I have a scale bump map that looks more like a plucked chicken, but it beats none at all. I also have some tones underlying the green, but the green is not permanent. Ideally I'd like…

Thanks @iam717! Previous gen makes me sound really old :# Some more progress. I keep going over the shoulder that's why that part is missing at the moment. Gonna break up those muscles later on but for now I think it's a good starting point
no idea I'm afraid - i've not touched photoshop since '21 and the last time someone asked me to write a script for it they never found the body I've not used the in-photoshop substance nodes but assuming there's support.. You 'should' be able to sample n points along a spline/curve to generate a gradient (just lerp from…
I'd take some images of painted surface and put them over the wood layer, probably 2 or more layers of different colored paint to really make it look worn and painted multiple times. First I'd marquee select each boards worth of wood and flip it so that the paint pattern doesn't continue from one board to the next. Then…
