Re: Old Dentist Chair - Operation Chair
Hi Fraya713, I like the concept here. As you said the leather just doesn't look like leather. I think they sort of look like dirty foam sofa cushions atm. You should gather some reference images of leather chairs. Here's one (poor quality sorry...) Leather cushions for a chair like that should have some shine on them, this… -
Re: freelancing with blender?
Yeah honestly the max system is pretty strange and convoluted. In maya you can simply select an edge loop and set it to hard. Max you have to make a face selection, and then assign it to the weird smooth group system thing. If you want to do something more complex like have a hard edge transition from hard to soft… -
Re: Resume help/critique
I've worked as a manager in VFX and Animation, and currently in Games. In my experience, when it comes to hiring artists, it is the leads and art directors whose decision carries the most weight. The reel is what matters most of all to them. They will only look at your resume if your reel impresses them. So - though you… -
Re: [3ds Max] miauu's Spline Deformer
Undo for soft selected edges not works. The reason: - when MAX moves soft selected edges the amount of used RAM increase and increase and increase. My PC have 8 GB of RAM and during the tests that I made I manage to crash my PC several times. The reason - max starts to eat memory one every movement of the spline's knot. So… -
Re: Mauser SP66
Hmm. That's a much older-style blued finish than I expected. I suppose you're not far off with what you have, although I think you're a little too gray right now, it could use a touch of deep blue. Look how rich the blue in the spec on the barrel is - it's almost a navy blue. I usually include a very soft environment map… -
Re: Stielhandgranate 24 WIP
from http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/ordinance-ammo/m24-stielhandgranate-collection-7273/ To get realistic text you have to approach it as it is in real life (makes sense doesn't it?). First off, this text is stamped on, not stenciled. Secondly, it's really tiny and ink is liquid, so you'll have soft outlines and not sharp… -
Smoothing for Game Models question(s)
I am a little bit confused by why/when to smooth for game models. If I want sharp edges on a cube that I am going to smooth I need to add edge loops close to the edges I want to stay sharp, right? The question to me is - do I want that all the time or even most of the time? Why not just "not smooth" it? Is the idea to do a… -
Optimize model for AO baking?
Hi, I am back with another baking issue: I have a low poly model and one subd model, but I am not able to create a decent bake at the intersection between the cushion and the sofa itself. I have added support edge loops to make subd model hold its shape (for example the edge of cushion). But I run into a situation where my… -
Re: Help with molded plastic shapes/transitions (weapon modeling)
@Boosted24v You have a good start but like Mattias mentioned: it's less of an issue with the process itself and more of an issue with the overall shape. The edge width is also a little too tight and a little too consistent across the entire model. This is causing the injection molded parts to read less like polymer and… -
Re: Junior Character Artist
there is a lot of domain specific knowledge though. like you might have the worlds greatest sports coach who can inspire and build any team but if they cannot make accurate time estimates for technical task related to game development then it will be a disaster to have them be in charge of that. some soft skills have broad…
