Colors need tweaking.

Sauce was 400cm wide (Sometimes you have to fudge scale with Xform mod to get desired effect with fog bias)

This looks awesome, but have to say I'm more impressed about the model,of the liquid there... How on earth you did that?

I bet it is hand modeled. Have you ever seen Grant doing polymodeling? Google it...

[JezUK]

Thank you Kosso_olli for that great tip (re Googling Grant).....

And Grant.... you are amazing ! Thank you so much for your instructional videos on Hard Surface Modelling - I'm inspired and learnt a ton. I sincerely thank you for your generosity, putting your knowledge out there into the 3D community

My pleasure. I learnt a lot from Grants tutorials, and I need that stuff daily. That is why I really want to see his tips on materials...

Wow! Why did I not find this thread sooner? This will be an amazing resource to have Grant, thank you.

I have a quick query about some of your brushed metal shaders? How would you go about getting rid of the poles so that the grain constantly changes direction and never converges into a single point?

Hmm... I would say that poly-modelling is exactly what Grant does, and does very well. Maybe your definition is different from mine?

Sorry, don't know what you mean. Just wanted to say that Grant is one of the best modellers out there in my opinion.

[stef.thomas]

Ah, I think I just misread your post. I thought you were saying that Grant didn't do poly-modelling, so I was a bit confused. No worries

That ice shader is the hotness! Looking forward to the finished tuts.

I would really like to get that anistropic silver material. That is just what I need for a project I'm working on. I have not been able to reproduce what you have. Beautiful mat!

[sersia]

Wow!! Very Nice Materials. Lovely...

Best Regards,

Working full time at Cream now so no need for a freelance website. Freelancing is pretty dog shit nowadays anyway lol.

Poly modeling. It took longer than expected but I've been modeling chocolate / liquid for years now so it feels natural. I've never done a print job that actually used a realflow sim.

No worries man. I got sick and tired of dumb asses posting pricy hard surface tutorials to the community that effectively jumped straight to complex shapes without giving any understanding of what modeling actually is. How it works and the laws behind it.
It actually infuriated me pretty badly, I could drop a few names but it's not worth it.

All in the UV mapping I guess. That model is nurbs so it automatically has clean UV's. (From a tiling point of view anyway)

Good ol days! Hardstyle music while hard surface modeling.

Are any of you interested in pre purchasing the shaders I do have?

Grant do you mean the shaders itself or already parts of the tutorial?
