Re: Sketchbook: erebus9
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.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | January - February (94)
SharelleCottee - Off to a good start, before you start beveling things I'd add some support edges around the main body of the binoculars and round off the corners on that ring piece. Should smooth more evenly and give you a better low poly from the start. Hope that helps.
Been working on the low poly but I also finished the head and added some wear and tear:

Got dash functionality and visuals roughed in after reworking the superarmor system.

here's how my binocular model is going so far would love feedback and advice especially on topology as that's something im trying to improve on

Re: Best practices when creating assets specifically for Nanite
Baking itself is still pretty much required for texturing in Painter for example, mask generators, edge effects etc require curvature, ao, world space normals, position, thickness etc.dgruwier said:Thank you for all the good information!HAWK12HT said:You have two bake options, one is to bake the nanite mesh with itself or have one mesh under million tris and bake high on top of it.
Are you referring to baking normal maps? What would baking the mesh with itself achieve other than a blank map?
If you have modular sci fi walls as nanite and you want vert paint (which is not an option) you may want to bring in masks and via material instances you can give some variation.
Like I said, if its background stuff then dont bake, use tileable textures and call it day.

Re: Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition!
rather embarassingly that second algorithm completely stumped me for a long time.
then i grew a brain and made it happen
There's plenty of refinement left to do including:
even the dumb dumb implementation is really fast - as in it's instant with no acceleration structures at all, this is literally just nested loops
it gets faster as it goes (because you're effectively removing information)
you need far less points to start with
also gif (of me advancing the growth steps manually)

There's plenty of refinement left to do including:
- not having gaps where branches should meet,
- multiple target points on the trunk (the trunk doesn't contribute at all, they're just converging on a point)
- direction biasing
- biasing the distribution of points - it makes sense for there to be more towards the outside of the volume (anyone know the right search terms for that sort of thing - the internet is not playing ball)

Re: Polycount artist who did high end pixelart textures?
@Joopson it was probably a spammer, they tend to reply to really old threads, and try to insert a link to their gambling or nft website. Then when we nuke them, they and their posts go bye bye.

Re: [Finished] F1 Cinematic shot
Hey thank you so much! You're so lucky, I would love to be able to walk or drive casually the track. it's not very often you get the chance to be their on track.
I did monaco like that and had the chance to ride my bike and car on Le Castellet in France. Such a crazy moment. (did F3 stage too on the Castelet Driving center track).
That's a very nice story. He guys in blue should take more time at McDonald's
Oh yeah a nice christmas present indeed. Sometimes noisy, sometimes smelly but overall pure joy!
