Hi everyone! I'm an aspiring environment artist. I decided to share the process of creating a new work for my portfolio. The main goal of the project is to gain experience in environment creation and level layout. The project is a two-story house inspired by the houses from the Hillcrest chapter of The last of us 2 and the…
So for my interior environment I've decided to do a Pirate's Tavern leaning towards a realistic style . And below are my main references for environemnts , props and my hero asset. My hero asset is a Pirate's Cutlass which at the moment im still struggling on where I should put the asset at to make it more interesting . So…
@illumisanic Oh, correct me if wrong think my question wasn't that clear? indeed sorry about that bad habit/s : # Had initially meant texture resolution and as I understand this is a hero prop? so was just wondering if the texel density was either 4096 = 20.48px/cm or perhaps 2048 = 10.24px/cm...etc? hence out've personal…
Hey all! Here is my very basic first blockout of the haunted classroom environment. Just wanted to get a sense of scale and make the inital plans on what I need to do for this environment and try to pinpoint the most difficult parts for me. Next step is conitnuing the blockout with more meshes and details and figuring out…
Thanks a lot for your message, I found your perspective really interesting and it actually resonates a lot with my own thoughts. I didn’t mention it in my original post since I was mainly asking for portfolio feedback, but on the side of my current 3D work, I’m also building an indie game project with a friend I met…
Hi Jordank95. Wall dimensions question: The best way to determine the needs you are talking about is to lay these pieces out in your 3D engine. Make a 3x3m pieces and compare them to the 4x4 pieces and see what works better for your project. 4x4 might be easier if you don't want to do fractions. Also you might need less…
@Veer_P An interesting shape, they're typically fiddly to model in polygonal subd that are usually fabricated using an extruded die cast mould' and also CAD designed, hence indeed a challenge so my approach would be as if modeling a car body shell of some sort with a Shrinkwrap Modifier. Because there's a similarity in…
Thank you! :) Thanks! I'm using 3ds Max. I'm not sure what your definition of "retopoed boolean modelling" is. I start with a blockout and define main forms with basic shapes if I can. Then I boolean pieces together and cut support loops and resolve/clean up geometry. I made a shitty "modeling is easy" meme when I…
For starters I wouldn't put "first gun model" in the title of your thread. It will do two things to people on these forums. It will make them not look at your thread, and then it will make the ones that do look anticipate a bad looking model. I've seen alot of that with people saying "first model" or "badass model". The…
Hey folks, I’m doing some R&D around Substance workflows and automated texture map generation,mostly as a side experiment. In some cases (quick scans, old assets, noisy photos) I found myself missing a fastway to extract usable height/normal information before bringing things intoSubstance Designer/Painter. So I built a…
