Re: Streaming Event - VFX Lectures for Charity
Hey everyone ! We first would like to thank everyone for being there with us during our streams, for supporting us and of course for your donations for Child's Play. This was an incredible experience for all of us as we've never done any event like this and a lot of us never streamed, but definitely like it a lot ! In… -
Re: How do I get rid of these Glitches
some of these look like your mesh geometry is not really great. i think i see overly long thin triangles, or maybe even ngons with different triangualtion between your baker and your renderer. As Rollin suggested, please show the wireframe and UVs, maybe also normalmaps. that said, some of those are due to banding and a… -
Re: When should you know that a mod idea is too big to be done?
Absolutely yes. If it involves next-gen tech and total conversion the chances you'll finish or even get close becomes near zero. And if you do finish the quality will most likely be atrocious, even compared to the dated original. Why? Good modelers and programmers don't bum around on moddb looking for ways to not get paid.… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - anglorum
Reply by anglorum · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Environment ArtThanks man, I love your work as well! So far as the reflections and stuff in the metal, it was just down to out-n-out hand painted-ness. I did some very basic AO bakes for the bigger Inhibitor (nexus maybe I dunno) but for the smaller one, I did an extensive amount of baking and had a high poly and urrytang. But the funny… -
Re: Able to draw, born talent or hard work
but justin if I practiced for a thousand years I wouldn't have the concept skills of bobo or nick carver so why pretend otherwise. I hate giving people false hope saying yeah you can practise and you will be a top notch artist. you do need a certain amount of natural aptitiude to get somewhere in art. it's like some folks… -
Re: Going to College for Game Art
Yeah, do not go into a "game focused" degree track. Just don't. I did, I figured it would be like a comp-sci program with specific attention paid to the needs of realtime simulation, but it was really just a bunch of courses built around commercially available books and very very low depth. Save yourself the money, or… -
Re: Hard surface modelling and prototyping at the same time
I do concepting and prototyping a fair amount in 3D. I would say the way to do it is to work simply - just focus on simple geometry and your proportions, shapes, relationships, and structure of the parts. Details and beveled edges aren't necessary in this stage. As the design evolves, I may add some smaller elements like… -
Re: StarWars Dark Forces Inspired Game Art
Mask_Salesman: Thanks! -Memex-: Thanks, sir. I actually agree with you completely. I've toned the leather down, both in brightness and amount. I've also scaled the background of the joysticks down as well, and tried to minimize the amount of the view they obscure. I'm also making an effort to make the ui cover the space… -
Re: lowpoly from highpoly zbrush
Your base mesh is not ideal, you don't need random edges and details on it, a simple box with evenly spaced geo would have sufficed. Let the sculpting app do the sculpting, worry about topology later. In doing simple box base mesh, you're saving time, making it easier to work with and most of all, your mesh won't need to… -
Re: Performance issue : Bake those chains!
Well if you use Unity you can do some tricks with it. Also if the chains are static you could easily go with number 2, the trick is to merge all chain parts together so you have just 1 mesh for the entire chain. This will cause unity to just have 1 drawcall for it (+ the ones for material, etc) the meshes are not that hard…
