The Key to INSANELY DETAILED TEXTURES | Pixel Peeping Tom Newbury 

Loved the interview J, thanks so much for having me on, really enjoyed our chat!

Loving the video, guys!

Absolutely loved this, J you're the hero on RU-vid for our industry, the amount of things I have learned from your channel is crazy. I appreciate what you do with all my heart, thank you so much

You know what's funny? When I start the video, watching that big 50 MINUTES that seems infinite, almost keep me off. But at the end of the video I'm more like "wait, what? Is it over?", craving for more details. Really enjoyed that, even if I work on stylized hand-painted texture (WoW like)... It still a huge source of knowledge that will surely improve my perception in texturing and keep pushing for an higher quality. I wish to see more contents like that, unfortunately this is probably not a RU-vid material... People nowdays turn around from anything longer then 90 seconds. Unfortunately quality content is underrated... Thanks again for sharing.

Fantastic J Hill! Great presentation by Tom!

This was awesome, has givin me lots of new ideas and work flow approaches, my favorite episode of the series to date!

Great video as always. This is indeed a great workflow, thanks for everything!

It was really great to see a workflow that avoids using Zbrush for higher frequency detail. I've always found that part of the process to be cumbersome and frustrating, so having an alternative is exciting. I'm definitely going to give some of those techniques a try in an upcoming project. Thanks for providing us with this awesome interview!

great video men and very inspiring. thanks to the two of you for making it ❤‍🔥

Great conversation. Thanks for putting this together. So inspiring!

I love how Tom is geeking out just as much as Jason at how the technology works. Stellar. Killer video, dudes.

Good collab, Tom is such a curious mind, seen alot of his stuff years ago and he has put some good stuff on his gumroad through the years that helped me out alot of times.

Looking awesome, so cool to see this collab happen 😊

Awesome talk, very insightful!

Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge! Next Level Stuff! Love it

Phenomenal video, I learnt so much. Thanks J and Tom

As someone who's in love with node workflows, Mari is becoming more attractive by the day

Bind-blowing and thoroughly inspiring! Thanks so much for posting this. I am a big fan of both of you!

Amazing work and info guys!

Amazing content. Gave me a much needed push of motivation. :) Thanks for the video to both of you.

Super inspiring!

Fantastic interview!

Crazy work and awesome😲🔥

Damn , thats so great !

Lemme guess.. It’s gonna something to do with Mari and texturing XYZ. 😅

happy new year mr J Hill

ooh looking forward to this one!

Wow. This video has taught me more about texturing in an hour than a year of practice and university study!

Big fan of Tom, Love his work so much, thanks J for this.

Great episode!

It is the most inspiring meeting between great artists that I follow💓

it's insane! TY !

Absolutely insane!

Holy moly, I was doing every details in zbrush, but now everything is change for me

hello j hill thank you really bro im soooo happy to see this interview.

Great Series !!!

Another banger, great video, informative and fun!

Two of the best online tutors right here. 💪🏻 Seeing J impressed like me is funny 😂

This is genius, I see the light now...I've been unwilling to acknowledge Mari for years but I see my mistake.

Thank you, learned stuff. Would like node based organic asset tutorial very much. Still doing it the old way.

watched it fully 2 times its just super interesting 🔥🔥to see the secrets of these amazing artists.

Thanks for your channel. These videos are very cool and really helpful！！！

I'm working as a Junior Texturing Artist, Its very useful ❤

Holy crap! I totally feel the same way about my projects! Starts very motivated and high energy and then it slows down and I lose interest. Good to know I'm not the only one out there like that!! I even think that maybe I don't love doing this anymore, but at least now I know it's not just me!!! Hahaha!

I've noticed that Tom has a DarkElf folder for his reference images. I wonder what's in there?

After learning Substance 3D I don't feel intimidated by the Mari node work flow and it really looks like a great direction of non destructible texturing.

46:44 lmao i would stare watching face details of that guy in a cafè

My whole world just lights up when i see a new J video

We missed You

Thank you for the gems guys appreciated!

the secret to insane texture, is using an insane amount of texture memory

oooooh look at the fancy man!

I got a question: at 25:25 you conclude that displacement works for models like this because you can fit much more fine detail on a texture using pixels than you can directly on a model, which would require a huge amount of polygons. But unlike normal maps, don't displacement maps depend on a high poly count to really get that high-quality details? Maybe I just didn't understand the idea here

Hi J, Can you tell me what camera do you use for recording the talking head portion of the videos? Would love to see a video on your current setup. 😊

"Zedbrush" gotta love the Aussies.

You guys are dope! some awesome tips and insight 🤟

I use Blender but this gave me an Idea.. Stop going so deep on the sculpting and texture the object. I have never thought to create all those maps and bake the textures but I’m definitely going to have a new workflow soon.

Really like U’r Video’s😘 Wow that(Unreal Engine 5) Soo Cool🥰

Displacement maps

@J Hill just discovered your channel and I'm getting ready to go down a rabbit hole. But need some help: for someone new, can you recommend which program would be best to create hyperrealistic human characters? Do you have a video comparing the different programs? Thanks in advance!!

Dumb question: Would using displacement maps/nodes be useful when you're sculpting for 3d printing? Would they work for 3d printing?

this is awesome, what does unims mean?

I love Tom Newbury he is good teacher

waht about tattoo ? how did we apply it?

simple character but smoother

Hello. I'm importing animation to UE5. In game mode, the animation is played. But how do I make the animation not play in game mode? Let's say I inserted a rolling ball and I need the camera to move behind it. I animate the camera, but the ball does not move. In game mode, the ball is rolling but I can't animate the camera. Can you tell me how to do so that I can control the camera and see the inserted animation?

Hey J Hill, awesome video, was hoping you'd be able to do a little shoulder sculpting video of a lean girl, can't find a single tutorial which gets this right.

please tell me in games such as mobilelegends on mobile 3D models of heroes about how many polygons consist of? so that the performance is good on mobile, but the model is also beautiful

16:30 you're limited by the geo in Zbrush, yes, but you can utilise Geo HD and UDIMS. I've used Mari off and on over the years on different projects but I've always found the projection painting workflow clumsy and not very artist-friendly. Sculpting this detail in Zbrush is a much more organic and natural process as an artist - wysiwyg. It's been a while since I've done anything in Mari, but it looks like Tom has set up a decent lookdev environment within Mari, so maybe that helps. Painting those 3 channel TXYZ in Mari without proper visual feedback of the displacement is a pain. And people constantly complain about the Zbrush UI, but the Mari UI.... 🤮😆 it's horrendous.

J hill aka j umbrella but it's tiny not huge

厉害

Sir can you please make your maya udim workflow. Please sir can you make tutorial. Please 🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏

give more SSS for the horn guy!

Logic switched profession?

This character cannot bow his head, or the horns will pierce his chest.

geeky

✅✅✅

so we use displacement on none.move object or it work on both animation and photo ? speak for real . am just kid in middle school. who learn from anywhere and anything about animation . and i found u. and i fk up . it was like what is that . it so alots of software .

Oh both have you seem to have bought your spectacles from the same shop.. Lol

Man, i don't know if you remember me but I enjoy your course (the free part ^-^) but here in Brazil we have some financial difficulties. I said I would save the money to buy your couse. I'm really almost there. You can help me with a Coupon Code?? PLEEEEASSEEEEE. Anyway...your content is awesome...and I really love your job. Thanks for all

This is not enough detail, I can't see the blood cells. If I do something I want the zoom in to go to DNA

Zet brush. this was great. thank you both!

the guy who's interviewing sounds like not Interested enough

I am watching the video and still don't believe you two are not the same person

ear hair...

dude... you two look alike a lot!

i just dont know about devs and games but i think they shurely should concentrete on other thing than having textures sharpnes donw to planck scale - Usally is the fine" texures" that makes games not worthy to visit -the lightning is a another matter and sinc eits harder to get correct or good they cheat use ligning that evenly lit up every texture making textures look bad unappealing and boring and just meh

Noise...

I prefer Substance cause Mari is a convoluted mess of a software

This is a really great video guys, very interesting and well presented info. Inspiring stuff.
