The Sims 4 Art Dump

HandSandwich

Hey Folks

Way past ship but I finally got around to gathering up some images from our base game. These are most of the things that I worked on that shipped. At some point I'll try to add the assets made for our expansions too.

Thanks

These are awesome! Is this handpainted diffuse only?

I love this stuff. Nice Texture work

Love the Sims games for all the sweet props! Thanks for posting these, awesome work!

Brian "Panda" Choi

I think this is almost the first time, in a long time, we see the Polycount being straight up Polycount.com in a game.

Thanks for posting these, I love the artstyle you guys went with. There's a lot of character and love in these super-tight poly/texture budgets.

I've been looking at the texture maps of some of these props for modding/custom content purposes - out of curiosity, are these props using a type of diffuse/(mono)specular texture map shader? At first glance, it seems to be something close to metalness map, but closer to source engine environment mapping then anything modern.

look sick, btw, did you guys use normal maps ? Im guessing you did.

Would like to know about the shaders also!

HandSandwich

Thanks everyone

@Slosh - It's diffuse, spec, & normals
@Brian - I'm especially proud of getting that in
@Lt_Commander - I'm not sure how much I can divulge as far as the tech goes. I'll ask around and see exactly what can be told. But as far as the spec goes, we use an RGBA texture with each channel controlling a different aspect of the specularity
@Nastobi - We do use normal maps but we minimize the map's use to only the major parts of the model (choppies, seams, divots, etc.)

Looks awesome. Love The Sims games, seeing this makes me wanna play lol!

Great work dude, everything looks so simple and yet really intricate in places at the same time, it's really nice work! Nice job with the Polycount greentooth, love seeing it pop up in games! Like Lt_Commander said, there is a lot of character in these models.

Iciban

great stuff! I never realized you guys gave such a handpainted look. Fantastic!

Jeff Parrott

Nice work! I've been zooming out in the browser to see how these read far away. Everything reads really nicely. Great job on this stuff!

Nekhro

Fantastic! Love guitars and fishes

Royzy

These look like they would've been loads of fun to work on. Great stuff

Man, I love this dump!

It's refreshing to see art from the Sims as a dump. I wish more, casual games would provide art dumps too.

RocketBryan

This is a fabulous art dump - I'd love to see even more. One thing that always amused me about playing the Sims games was trying to take a close look at all the food dish assets. There are just soooo many of them and someone has to make all that pasta carbonara and french toast.

Thanks! I appreciate the response, and completely understand the need for keeping things non-specific for legal reasons.

I love how you guys handled the texture painting for the 4th one, nice and blended without feeling like they had to go overkill with highlights and sharpness.

Now go go sims 4 nightlife expansion! Mah sims need to be seated at a restaurant after drivin' their whip

atomander

I love these so much! Were most of these sculpts? Any purely hand-painted assets?

JamesTKirk

Man that cow plant is really disturbing! The udder on it's chin is just creepy.

HandSandwich

Thanks everyone
@Atomander - No sculpts. These are all hand painted.

Sweet models and textures

Rav3

Cool props

Really sweet stuff

I love the painterly effect and beautiful artwork. Looks amazing. It looks like it was a lot of fun doing this. Are you allowed to show wire frames and/or texture maps?
