Re: Baking problem (or understanding-problem?)
Looks to me like the highpolys edges are sharp, no bevels of any sort, so no detail to bake anyways? With curved edges, sometimes it`s an option to have more geometry at along the border closely matching the hp, collapsing edges in areas that are less-silhouette defining. -
Re: Possible idea for a weekly art jam!?!
Nice, deffinately someting I would participate in. been wanting to get into more quick fun iterative stuff rather than the long haul pieces. I do like your idea about having a certain time to take something further. maybe it would be fun like... at the end of each month or something there's one week that's for revisiting… -
Breakdown of the AAA pipeline for game-ready realistic hero props
Hello! Some time ago I finished a project and thought I’d make a breakdown of the whole process from start to finish. This is not a detailed tutorial for every step but rather an overview over the process that I hope will help people (especially beginner 3D artists) get a better understanding of how the pipeline works.… -
Re: WIP - Horseman Death
Nice work. Love the way the cloth folds at the feet. Crit: * Implement more of these folds around the neck scarf. It looks like you have started to so this definately needs finishing. * The transition between the upper and lower arms looks dodgy. I think it might be where you've tried to implement gloves. Make the ends of… -
Re: Why can't triangles be stretched over quads?
Maybe something like that could work as a compression format: define 4 points using three bisected lines and one point from the triangle to reconstruct a square. I cant imagine the savings in file size would be worth the loss of UV mapping, vertex weights/colors, or the ability to determine how that quad will split once… -
Re: avagoyamug's "FACEMONTH"!
Thanks Suba! And you are right, I spent propably not more than a couple of minutes on all the props and hair for each sketch. Of course it would be nice to define it a bit more but I try to save every minute for the face, since this is what defines a good/strong character the most. IMO you can place these hairstyles and… -
Re: Creating a scene pipeline - How do I start?
-Paint over defining, repeatable parts, and important props -define measurements in the paint over using the dimensions of known objects, such as door, or people, to get a scale of the scene. -find your point of interest in the scene -start creating your meshes for the block out, and knockout some basic lighting. -next few… -
Re: He-Man (MOTU) !!WIP!!
Well, OrganizedChaos you guessed right!!! No, tbh the fur didn't actually take too long. Not even an hour for each (loincloth, boot/s). And there was definately no trick in that. I'll post a quick tutorial on that a little later, 'kay? Besides, there is definately a much better way to really sculpt fur and such. But since… -
Re: Roger Ebert On Why Video Games Can Never Be Art
WAIT HE DOSNT? Oh shit thats nuts. I would have never guessed his cheese prefrences from the interviews he has given but this is really eye opening. So fascinating. On a serious note he makes the assumption that games are defined as art or not by those playing them. When it is not the consumer who makes it art, it is the… -
Re: Vampire footsoldier
cyi, is it possible to see your flats on this? It just seems like the model looks like it should be alot lower in poly count (meaning you might have alot of polys that aren't helping define your shape) and the textures seem like alot for what it's showing. I think you can get rid of alot of poly density around the eyes, as…
