pointpusher The Art of Krishnamurti M. Costa | Scythe's Anatomy Hello guys, I finally muster up the courage to post here. just a C/C from polycount, since my resolve haven't changed from that : let's go straight into the subject. Back around the end of november, I felt very unhappy with the level i had in anatomy, posing, rhythm and forms. I know i was able to get some result but it took a hell of a time and iterations to get there.

The Art of Christoffer Radsby Zbrush UV Shells - Zbrush Ryan Kingslien I Sculpt Stuff Dan Roarty - Character Artist Accurate Displacement Workflow | Akin Bilgic Intro This tutorial attempts to cover and clarify the process of generating and applying accurate displacement maps from either ZBrush or Mudbox, to V-Ray for Maya, V-Ray for 3ds Max, V-Ray for Cinema 4D, or Arnold for Maya (MtoA). There's often a lot of confusion and misinformation surrounding displacement maps and how they're supposed to work. You'll sometimes see artists load a displacement map onto their low resolution geometry and play with intensity and depth values until it looks somewhat similar to their high resolution geometry and assume that's it's as close as they can get. But with a correct workflow you don't have to fiddle with settings or settle for 'close enough' - it'll just work correctly from the start to match your high resolution geometry as accurately as possible. We'll first cover some of the underlying concepts behind how a floating-point displacement map works and how to recognize if you're getting correct results.
