Woodcutter's Block
Hey everyone! I recently made a quick sketch to get back into drawing and it immediately gave me an idea for a small prop scene. Sculpting and texturing wood has always been a favourite of mine but I still feel very inexperienced. Bark, for example, is a real challenge. So I decided to make a scene all in favour of wood.… -
Anyone switched from ZBrush to Blender?
After the acquisition of ZBrush by Maxon, I'm not willing to pay the large and permanent subscription fees for snail-pace upgrades, but not doing so means I'll have to stop using ZBrush eventually. Whether because it gets outpaced by other software, Maxon stops authorizing perpetual license installations on new hardware,… -
Re: artflow.ai for concept inspiration?
Well, the above is pretty much exactly what I understand already :D My question is more about the actual mixing technique being used. For instance I have a fairly clear understanding of how a trained ML model could work for, say, a super human run of a Mario level - since the winning conditions (progressing to the right),… -
Re: Vector based painting software
I do believe a proper vector soft in texture job could be a great and very refreshing workflow. Basically vector shapes with bitmap and procedural fill + vector strokes for scattering details etc. Unfortunately nobody cared to do one really useful. I once used Xara + Filter forge plugin ( some old version that worked in… -
Re: (UE4) Teaching an old dog new tricks! Landscape studies
From here I have started to mess around with what I might want the scene to be in the end. I went into this new scene pretty much open. I just wanted to get certain things working properly and ultimately start fleshing out a landscape eco system that i could just swap out assets and cut down on the time to create images… -
Re: I'm just getting into 3d and I'm trying to make a thing with proper topology.
As for tutorials on handpainted stuff... The first thing that comes to mind is Ben Mathis' older character creation tutorials. http://www.poopinmymouth.com/tutorials/ His second character tutorial uses an app called Bodypaint3d, to paint textures in 3d basically. If you do not have access to this tool, you can replace it… -
Re: [UDK} modular Foyer
Firstly, where is the light coming from? As the walls don't seem to be casting shadows it leads me to believe that the meshes are open at the back and need 'Two-Sided-Lighting' turned on in the Mesh Properties. Rather than get any further bogged down with the technical issues like light map seams and normals looking odd,… -
Re: (Critic Welcome) ConceptArt Portfolio
I don't mind your cents at all @krraej I agree with you, I did not have such intense training in organic and character design fields as I did with perspective drawing, I really wanted to have that foundation right. The boat design I am particular 'ashamed' of, not really ashamed ashamed, but I had no clue of how to render… -
Re: Right, so, I've got this dungeon
You seem to be struggling with something but I can't quite understand what that is. I've made modular dungeons in the past, here are some samples of block-out meshes used to make a tiling dungeon. The darker parts on the back and top of these assets are solely there to block the light from escaping or coming in from the… -
Re: Can't settle down on a single discipline - any thoughts?
I get it. I feel like after graduation, we go through this phase. We want to grab anything to break in. Mine, when I started after graduation, was 3D Animation. I never got a 3D Animator job (I think I took one unpaid internship for 3D animation.. but I don't really count it). Went from 3D Animation, to game tester,…
