Re: ArenaNet Environment Art Test
Looking good so far, but theres a lot to do, you get some vertex painting in there to break up the tiling brick and roof tiles, definitely add those roof tiles and brick outside of the silhouette to make it more interesting and break up the straight lines. I would also totally revisit all the spec maps, you need to… -
Re: Lighting, models and UDK
You are correct the problem occurs because the lightmaps are mip mapping which results in visible seams when viewed from a distance due the minimal padding UDK applies to it's generated lightmaps. One solution is to work with a set of larger unique meshes constructed from smaller modular chunks. Take your image for… -
Re: [Portfolio] Alex Kam, Environment Artist
Hey Alex, I've seen your 2 Environments (Hallway with garbage/debris & your Back Alley) before. I feel that the Garbage/Debris with the pipe scene is your strongest. It has the extra details (papers and trash on the floor and the broom) to really give some convincing storytelling. The back alley is generic, and I feel it's… -
Re: Viking longhouse -- help a friend
Here's some feedback: If you want to use sculpting tools you have to stabilize your edges, so they don't become smoothed when you import to ZBrush. (There is an option to import without geometry smoothing, but that is more useful for texturing in ZBrush); If you want to sculpt you best get an evenly subdivided mesh with… -

Re: Ambre (WIP) - 3D Game Environment Art
Worked on the base mesh for the tree further. Fairly happy with it so far. \ Took it into Unreal to see how it looks in the scene. Some of the roots on the left feel a bit out of place, I'll take the base mesh into ZBrush and try moving some of the roots around before I add more details. Had an idea of making the roots… -
Re: Fantasy/Nature Diorama - Hand painting practice
The roof really is too steep for that sort of tile. I'd either change to a more Mediterranean design or switch to a more traditional roof - thatch or shingles. Some rocks in the river and accompanying turbulence would add some visual interest. Some parts of the terrain are extremely pixilated; this is most noticeable on… -
Re: Arena Net Environment Art Test
I didn't read through every ones crits but what I can see, I feel like you've missed their style of art a little bit. Yours comes off a bit more photo real with a lot of visual noise like the grain on the bark. I'm not a particular fan of the roof tiles as well, they feel more like tiles in the shower for some reason. I… -
Re: [WIP] - Gate: Looking for some critique
First crit would be to host ur images on an imagehost. 99% of the time I dont even click the thumbnails just cuz I'm that lazy.. Try to exaggerate ur shapes, keep it more low poly for ur first blockout and work from there. i.e. the roof parts are straight which should have a curve according to the concept. I also think the… -
Re: Unwrap UVW problem
Lots of possibilities as mentioned. Here's another one that might work for what you want to achieve. Add a few more divisions and overlay the uv shells for each section of the roof on the same tiling texture. This way you can get the benefit of a tiling texture(nice texel density), and also make sure there's minimal…
