Re: Best practices when creating assets specifically for Nanite
It's also important to know that Nanite does use Fallback meshes, depending on the platform the original mesh topology and workflow is required. Your tech artists will thank you for maintaining baked workflow. Like others have said, baked workflow is generally always still required because texturing workflow will also likely benefit from them, that said - tri count, as of the last 15 years is nearly always less of a worry.
When nanite isn't used, HLOD, baked workflow, and original principles still apply. Best to account for both.

Re: Sketchbook: erebus9
Hi, thank you for stopping by and for kind words. Sorry for the late reply, I was a little daunted with the task.iam717 said:Those are some inspiring looking references, would love to see this made with love, we will see, all the best with the engine i hear blue prints are the way to go.
Lately I've spent not as much time as i would like to on this project. Currently I'm struggling with a tree. I did identify it, and I think I've done it correctly, to my understanding the main tree on the ref is Prunus Salicina (Chinese Plum).
So I've jumped into SpeedTree with no previous experience with the software. And though the software itself isn't seem hard, actually creating a realistic tree takes time. And since I aim to build this environment being game-ready, I struggle even more.
But what brings me back some peace regarding this tough task is looking at references and finding more of them, because this way I can understand the structure more and without it I feel like I'm lost on this track of creating a good-looking tree.
I will attach some of my current attempts including some drawings and atlas placeholder, though they look bad as hell, I think it will be nice to document them there.
Try 1
Try 2
5 different Atlas variations and a tree breakdown
I am currently thinking of cutting the scope to just this tree and make it as good as I can, because with the vegetation I don't want to move too fast and thus skip essential and important fundament. My drawing skills are very poor, I actually never draw in my life except for the child paintings like all the kids do, but having a tablet, doing constant Ctrl+Z, utilizing smooth stroke and moving slow really helps.
Currently I'm gathering more references to understand how to incorporate fronds (large branches being replaced with the texture-cluster map) into my tree structure.
Even though you didn't ask for that, I decided that I will make a post. Thanks to you! Otherwise I probably would delay it even more until there would be more to show.

Re: Sketchbook: HarlequinWerewolf (SkullCat3D)
Huh, haven't updated this in a WHILE. I only published one project last year so it seems time to share it again. I spent some time playing about with Unreal's hair strand physics and will continue playing with it this year.

Re: Sketchbook: Zetheros
Spent awhile developing the biomechanical structures that open and close the face plates. They are opened by 'arms' that have locking joints and double as mandibles. A strong length of sinew in the back adds support, and is what snaps the plates back together. More polish and a bit of proportion work was done as well.
Have a great week!

Hey Folks ,
I’m excited to share my latest artwork with you! It’s been a project I’ve worked hard on over the past few months and I’m happy to finally show it. This piece represents my growth as an artist, and I hope it connects with you in some way. I hope you enjoy it.

Re: Polycount artist who did high end pixelart textures?
This tank from the first link (Ben Bolton) is so nice, thanks for digging this up !
Reading up on it agin in his original thread , he is achieving this look by baking from very simple highs and then scaling down the resulting textures by a factor of 8 (from 2048 down to 256). Really inspiring work.

Re: Gina (critique welcome)
alright idea you got cooking, you can tell if the hand is small by putting it up to the head i think if i remember its of the dome its lowest palm nearest wrist to bottom of chin and the middle finger of the hand reaches the middle to top of the head? Now to do a search for the ref : to make it easier do it yourself on a mirror and make your size hands. (were it lands on your facial landmarks) and do it that way for better visual. If you have a female to ask you can have her do it also.
