I was on my spring break through this past month and I been practicing on texturing mostly. So I had this tool Substance Painter 2 and had it on my PC. Since it'll be a waste just having this on my PC, I'd thought of using it. Well, It's a pretty decent tool and it's easy to make a texture since its rendering and texturing at the same time. So yeah, i guess farewell Mudbox, I don't think i'll be using it for awhile.
Also I installed V-ray since Substance painter and mental ray won't work or have good result on the rendering. So I started using this too and rendering's quite fast and no fan speeding like a mofo.
I'm working on a personal project with this that I'd be able to put in my reel. By next month I hope I complete one project.
I been on practice with rocks but I havent got my level higher yet. So in meantime I thought that I'd stop on this and move on to next stuff which is looking at tree. Not really modeling but well, using a software. Speedtree. So I looked at the quick tutorial and see how it would look in Mental ray render. Got stuck on alpha but managed to solve it and wow, a beautiful tree's been made! I did wonder how CG company makes these and I learned that they don't really "scratch" model tree or rocks. More of using scans, or these software like speedtree. I guess the thing I been doing through this past month was pointless but, I did manage to level up on sculpting in Zbrush and use what tool. So here's a screen of what I did by tutorial so I'm hoping that I'd use this in next project.
