Re: High-fidelity pixelated futuristic character models for a GoldSrc game in development
Thx, yeah, the project reception has been more than positive so far, well received here too which is cool. We appreciate all the feedback and hope to inspire with this little unique project.pior said:You're welcome ! Looking forward to seing more of this project ... as well as hopefully finding the time to explore some aspects of the workflow on some personal assets. I think what you are getting at here is likely going to inspire quite a few people around here.

Re: Advice with secondary forms
good find!
Regardless of if, it's just texture or not, you could choose to do it in the sculpt or the texture stage.

Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
Nice, a similar strategy for polygonal subd modeling I'd use i.e. welding verts when merging segments via objects of varying polycounts.
Slightly OT but I think worthwhile mentioning at least - if you've thoughts of expanding upon this? possibly further practice or when time allows of course, I might suggest also modeling in additional detail these colonnade shapes are renown for. Namely ornamental capitals usually carved as decoration, now although generated in Blender fair while ago there's no additional operations involved just manually editing it's cage which should be straightforward enough translating across too MAYA.
Anyway if you choose to do so, have fun with it....I did :thumbs up:

Re: Advice with secondary forms
Well those could technically also just ve texture.DustyShinigami said:Now that I'm looking at one, I do remember the painterly-like brush strokes, but just figured those were just that - paint/brush strokes. But cranking the Normal map up a bit it does appear that a lot of those strokes are present.

At least in 2, the sculpts look pretty clean

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
"while DEI is used for hiring, extending it into a marketable product isn't always profitable"
My dude, 'DEI in a marketable product' is an incentive to start including groups of people who have previously been excluded from representation. The further you go back in time, the more difficult it would be to get actors or characters in shows, movies, etc, that were not straight or white. There is nothing wrong with society moving away from prejudice. Saying a product which has representation of other people isn't profitable would be heavily leaning on correlation and not causation.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | March - April (95)
This is actually my first time taking part in a challenge like this, so I’m really excited (and a bit nervous) to share my progress. 😊
I’ve completed the blockout phase and decided to go a bit further by starting to sculpt some parts of the scene. I felt that certain elements, like the wooden platform and the stone base of the stove, really needed some texture and surface detail to better convey their material and feel.
@BadgoingReally cool to see how you've managed to capture the atmosphere of the reference, even at this early stage! The lighting is already setting up some nice contrast, especially on the staircase. Excited to see where you take this next — great progress so far!
@rafiii You've done a great job with the blockout—the layout feels solid, and it already captures the mood of the reference really well. I especially like the broken and worn-out details you've added—they're a great touch.

Re: [Game Art] Modular Kits related Issues
We have a bunch on the wiki about trim sheets.

Re: Sketchbook: Fabi_G
I was thinking to combine the "Chasm's Call" challenge with DYO/ Greek mythology. The rough idea is some titans climbing out of Tartarus. Used the Unreal template. Here is a gif of the current state:

Re: Building a GPU powered painting program.
I really dig your ideas about UX and hotkeys. On that point, I’m reminded of a really old android app I used to use: Cloverpaint. It also allowed color sliders to be keymapped, with a clever design that also let you slide up/down to change the scale range, allowing greater or less granularity on the fly, e.g. value slider.
It was such a thoughtfully designed app, probably meant to
specifically solve issues relating to small mobile screens; and yet I still wish big staple
apps (zbrush, mari) would take a cue from that. Granted zbrush has its own
solution, but damn is it really bad! For all other paint apps that can, I just
use a stupidly large color wheel pop-up when I need more subtle changes

Hey, not sure if it's too late to post on this thread, but hoping to get some feedback on what I have finally made so far.
