Best Of

Re: Thoughts on the Stop Killing Games movement?

I do wish there were easy/legal ways to "walk around" live service games that get killed. Even a 1.0 offline version that feels dead is vastly better than a game completely disappearing. I do get some games wont fully function without online aspects, and there's games like Fortnite with 32 seasons and Path of Exile with 30+ leagues.

Re: Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists

@Ruz aw I'm sorry man! I had to do those too

While it's a good exercise, I'm definitely not for dry copying though. More about fresh ideas an inspiration.
We spend weeks, months, sometimes years on an art piece yet fresh ideas on how to improve are so rare. We bypass such a huge body of mind -blowing art that no one is looking at. That seems like the perfect place to get inspired. To focus on the time-proven fundamentals instead of chasing the trends. I've been doing art for 20 years and have never seen some of these pieces that are a cut above anything we see online these days.

I'm sorry man I tried with the navigation buttons but it's going harder than I hoped. Despite appearing moderately competent - I've never made a website before

So some of these are going to take me a minute to wrap my head around! But it's definitely coming. In the meantime what you can use is middle mouse click to open up some of these items in a new tab and continue navigating where you are. Sorry I know it's not a proper solution - I'm working on it. Thank you for your patience 🙏

Thanks to your feedback I'm making the analysis feature available without needing to log in. If I can't figure our how to make efficient enough so that I can afford to pay for it/keep it free, I guess I'll get a paper route

Re: [WIP] Church Diorama

Hi guys. So I finished it and presented the short showcase video, which I link down below. I would really appreciate your thoughts on it. At the end I ended up creating two different lighting setup and I took your advise @d1ver and made my god rays/moonbeam a bit more prominent with a strong light source from the rose window, however I adjusted the lightings slightly depending on the camera shots in the video. I obviously have a lot that I could still polish and change, but I am happy with the way it turned out. Thank you so much for all your support and help. I will be back soon with an other WIP project, once I started the concept of it. I hope you guys like the outcome.

Re: Witcher 3 Blood and Wine architectural material

Hey man, you can check that shader out in the modding tool released by CDPR, The Wticher 3 REDkit, it's free if you own the game in any platform, it's basically the RED Engine, you have access to the entire world, textures, shaders (they use nodes!) and meshes. The shader in question is called pbr_vert_blend_colorize, the shader extension is .w2mg

. If you want to see the environment you can open Toussaint, the map is called bob (dlc/bob/data/levels/bob/bob.w2w)

Re: Verasia - The Seven Sorcerer Town

Well done!
The lighting could be a bit more interesting, but in the video, it seems like you'd probably run into problems fairly quickly since the surrounding mountains cast shadows across the whole valley with a lower sun. Since your main viewing angles might been pretty fixed as well, maybe rotating the sky would have been an option to get some back lighting, as right now, the light mostly comes from the top and front. Because of the lighting situation, the shots with shadows from the trees or objects look the best to me.

The clan colors, being basically the primary colors, might be important for gameplay or story, but I like the shots where they aren't evenly distributed the most.

Great shots are the gate, the house immediately below it and the two shots of the tents, red and blue respetively.

Nighttime looks atmospheric as well, but it basically seems to be the same light position as in the day, just dialled down.
