Re: What Game artist career is more difficult?
It really depends on the individual. I have a really hard time creating environment art, but my co-workers would have a hard time animating.
If I had to pick one position as the hardest I would say Tech Artist. There is usually only one tech artist per team, and he has to support all the other artists by creating tools, he has to develop the art pipelines, he has to know every aspect of the game engine, he has to convert programmer jargon into artist lingo, and he's probably got a few art tasks he's responsible for as well.

Re: What Game artist career is more difficult?
Just to weigh in my opinion the hardest to be good at is going to be a technical artist, purely because by being more technical orientated you have to know waaay more fields beyond the scope of just what you see eg coding/scripting/integrating. Which in turn means keeping upto date on improvements on each of the above.
Designers have it easy :shifty:
Animators have it the hardest :poly142:
But on a more serious note which ever field you choose will be bloody hard. So work at it!

Re: What Game artist career is more difficult?
They're all different fields with their own complexities.
If there is one that's harder than the others, I'd suggest Technical Artist would probably be the one, given you need a handle of coding, or at least scripting as well as art.

Re: (WIP) Chinese WW2 Ghost Town
Frankly I would just bake it into the texture. It's a scene-filler prop, it would usually just have the simplest lowest-cost shader.

Gems rendering
Greetings !
This is my first post here, so I want to say thanks for supporting this forum and hope for community assistance.
I want to introduce my gems rendering application, containing 2265 different gems design and rendering parameters selection: https://gemview.yesbird.online/ . You can download designs in OBJ or POV-Ray formats and use it free for your projects.
All designs accrued from this great resource, and using by professional gemcutters at author's permission: https://www.facetdiagrams.org/ .
Any kind of criticism is appreciated.

Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
Eric Chadwick I have achieved this and I don't know how to make the protrusions on the edge. Is it because my model has too few segments?

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | January - February (94)
@HarryT25 There are some great fine details you've got, particularly in the grip. I could see where the contact of the palm and fingers could slowly wear down those sections. It really helps make it feel like it was carried and used.
Something I think would help moving forward is a focus on some larger stains across the body. Don't be afraid to play with just the roughness values, it can be a great way to add subtle wear to a surface without affecting the color.
Reference back to the concept and you'll see the edges, even the subtle ones at the top, have dust and grime build up. There are smears in places where you could interpret that something got on it and then was wiped off later but left a smudge. Those things can really help sell the believability of it.

Re: Weighted normal missing in fbx
Worth checking the fbx dialog is set to Media&Entertainment . Helped me few times with 3dmax glitches and smooth groups should be definitely off for import. Otherwise any custom normals would be ignored.
