Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | January - February (100)
Hello there!
So... this is my 2nd year trying to finish an enviro Challenge, hope this is the one I finish. So far I've more or less matched the perspective and proportions of the reference (I just started working on the 1st of Feb)

Since I've had a hard time finishing environments so far, I will take a sort of MVP approach and so I only will be doing 7 tileable materials as color coded, and 6 props and reuse them as much as possible. That plus the cables, pipes and decals should be enough detail... I hope
It's daunting but exciting.

Re: Some workflow/nanite questions coming from UE4
POM is pretty expensive and prone to a lot of artefacting - personally i try to avoid it unless I'm not in a position to generate the mesh I actually need (damage decals are a great use case for POM) - Nanite has no bearing on this at all.
There is a baseline cost to using Nanite and you need to be sure that your target platform can handle it
it instances/batches and culls much better than not using Nanite.
The cost of rendering geometry is more closely tied to screen resolution than it is to source model complexity.
Modular construction is pretty much the ideal use case for Nanite
imo the primary gain from using Nanite is that you don't need to make as many compromises in terms of geometry as you do when you aren't using Nanite - your authoring decisions can be made with far more emphasis on convenience and design.

Re: [WIP] Naiá – The Lily Pad Spirit
I think the only nitpick I got is that the legs are lacking in detail. I can see some good muscle definition in the arms, but the legs look a little smoothed out in comparison, particularly in the knees.
Aside from that, love the color, love the whimsical design, love it overall, will love to see where this goes

Re: What small tablet ( without screen) is ok currently?
i got one of those for my youngest 3-4 years ago, perfectly decent bit of kit and a really nice size for sketching.sacboi said:Valentines Day sales - Artist 12 (2nd Gen)Never used ones with a display, they've certainly grabbed my attention atm and aussie dollars AU$257.29 quite affordable tho probably pick one up heaps cheaper in other regions also with tyranny of distance living down under we're typically slugged with 'customs duties' anyway

Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
it's not all bad - think of the opportunities for future generations of abandoned giant building exploration enthusiasts

Re: [ MECHA ] Сoncept art
I agree with Eri, to me the thing that stands out tho is that everything is super busy and pretty monochrome, making it hard to distinguish what is what and its functionality. But i think this is more of a design taste feedback than anything ! keep at it, nice work

[WIP] Naiá – The Lily Pad Spirit
Its been a long time since I dont post here
Almost 6 years...But finally I back!
I've been working on this character project for approximately a month now or a few years if you count when it really began
! She started as a redesign of an old project of mine and now I'm turning her into a 3D game ready character!Naiá is a river spirit based on two Brazilian Folklores, The Ipupiara merfolk of the Amazon River and the folklore of Naiá a indigenous girl that was turned into a Lily pad!
Here is her first desing from 2022
Now the redesign version I wanted to continue with the fish features but make them more cute and appealing!
After I was happy with her desing I started Blocking her out!
After polishing and some really good feedbacks I finished the high poly and now I'm retopoing her
Hope you all like her! Soon I will bring more updates🐸✨

Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
I am so happy that Polycount still exists and keeps the old-school raw interaction alive. After many years, I've canceled all my social media accounts (because of the noise of stupid people, AI slop, politics, Blender influencers, bots...) and found a place here. According to the current situation on the internet, I think Polycount has a very bright future.
