I've decided to not use the Zsphere veins that I made last week. While it was a good learning exercise, the results of mesh projection simply left too much clean up work to be worthwhile. As the human basemeshes are in a good spot, I'm revisiting older work; the vampires, and applying the anatomical skills I've been…
Am I wrong thinking, if someone wanted to ask ai instead of people, the person would have done so? I feel like filling a forum with chathgpt generated content is just not a great idea. On the other hand AI chewing on itself, because everything it finds is its own generation will only help deteriorate it... Everything this…
I really enjoyed the traditional art classes at college, as well as art history and the cinematography classes. I feel got quite a lot out of them. ...not soo much from the 3D classes though. Except for the 3D part I felt pretty well prepared...but 3D is just practice practice practice. No matter if self taught or college,…
i distinctly remember playing one of those in 1998 more srsly gaussian splatting and nerfs are actually a pretty interesting model for representing complex volumetrics like fur and foliage they absolutely don't hold up for solids - zoom in on the demos posted to see evidence - and my understanding at this point is that…
Hi Polycount! I thought to share my recent likeness study here too. I Practiced recreating Cassian Andor (portrayed by Diego Luna) with a real-time render in Unreal Engine 5. Artstation link: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8BG5E6 Thanks for looking. Even though I am finished with this project I am still happy to hear…
Hi! Perhaps you find some useful info on the Concept wiki page I think the base of many environment concepts is a 3d blockout. For example concepts could be done on top of renders of a greybox level, or the current level state to explore options. I think a crucial part when fleshing out an idea, whether 2d or 3d, is…
The model is alright but i like it just. Subject matter is pretty bland--somewhat orgrish looking chump with normal maps. He's naked. It's alright but the anatomy is a bit wonked and he's got a case of the playdoughs. You should work on distributing polies better in that low poly. His poor chest is a cutting board and the…
Yeah that's what I suspect too. I did several reverse image searches before I started this with no results. I wanted to find a rough looking painting to use as a reference for this modeling practice. I am not big fan of AI, but that was closest to the kind I had in mind at the time. Point of this was to test this style and…
Jacko, you got a job!! Last I knew you were still looking--like me!! Hey, I've been drawing for 30 years. It's not as hard as it looks. Listen to the instructor. I thought I knew everything about drawing and my instructor proved me wrong. Use a lot of motion with your arms and think in circles and cylinders. Practice,…
Hi neat works here congrats, Just quickly curious the "tape" mesh, was that by hand/eye "made" or did you do some sort of sim (simulation) on it? I ask cause its very tight & looks neat & was curious if you found a quick solution. Tons of how to's about these types of practices, on surface materials, though i found many to…
