RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - Baegal - 12-05-2010
these are so awesome (especially the croconaw), I wish I had the patience to do all of this :C
What program do you use? Do you have any tutorials? Anything that helps you with making the textures? I'd love to learn
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 12-07-2010
thanks starpower (just read your post) and baegal!
i've been meaning to make a mini tutorial, since there are a total of four (!) tutorials on the internet written for Body Paint 3D, which is what I use to help me texture (along with Photoshop). but i really feel like i still have a lot of learning to do before teaching anyone. most of the time i try and err.
i might just do a timelapse vid of a tiny 3d project and voice over it. any good screen capture programs for windows? camstudio is terrible.

Hypercam is alright.
BTW, I'm really looking forward to learning haw bodypaint3d works !
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - Baegal - 12-12-2010
what program do you use for the modeling? Or is that bodypaint too?
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - Chutzpar - 12-12-2010
It's blender. Says so on a couple of the screenshots c:
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 12-13-2010
yep, zeemort got it right.
although bodypaint is originally a cinema4d plugin (i think)
i'm so busy nowadays, i haven't been doing any personal work at all except for what you've seen from me.
this makes me somewhat angry at everything in general
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 02-25-2011
so i made quite a lengthy modeling tutorial in Word, complete with images.
how do i upload this, or. how do i show it, umm.
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - Lexou Duck - 02-25-2011
Mediafire
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 02-25-2011
i thought of that, but do i just submit it as a word file?
Well, here it is:
Low-Poly Modeling of Mushroom in Blender
It's not finalized, so tell me where I could make things clearer, where I ramble, etc.
It covers editing vertices, proportional falloff, and mostly hotkeys.
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 02-25-2011
will start on part 2: texturing dat mushroom if this gets 3 thanks
or if 3 people ask me, idk
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - Lexou Duck - 02-27-2011
I have a question.
I have searched all over for tutorials and couldn't find anything.
How do i draw my texture in an image editor ? Trying to mentally unfold and draw each side of a complex character is awfully hard, and I wanted to know how you do it.
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 02-27-2011
there are actually a few answers to that question. i'll try to show three approaches that i use in the texturing tutorial.
but are you having problems with the unfolding or making the textures "fit" the model properly?
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - Lexou Duck - 02-27-2011
All of it, actually. Well, the UVs I can bear, but i can't visualize my final texture sheet at all, so I don't know where to start. It's just impossible for me to see my character decomposed into an all-angle sheet on one drawing.
Also, how do i draw without shading ? I mean, the 3d shades itself when rendered, so... (note that i've only been making 100% self-illuminated model till now)
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 02-28-2011
i've also only been working on 100% self-illuminated.
the thing is, if you're going for true low-poly, you'd have to make everything pretty much self-illuminated.
computer-calculated shading = more processing power = not very "low"
You could look into "baking" textures, which makes for a nice base for painting over (never use 100% baked textures unless you're using millions of polys).
I'll start on the 2nd part of the tut after exams. this week is exams week.
RE: Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART] - Lexou Duck - 02-28-2011
Ok, man, thanks.
