First, you probably shouldn't uniquely bake a tree. Tiling textures should be all that you need. Second, create a cage by duplicating the low poly and using a push deformer to make sure the cage barely but completely contains the highpoly. You don't need to use a push deformer specifically, you could manually move each…
while it's a side scroller, our game camera will push in and out during gameplay. Also, if you check out the concept video, we're planning on doing some super moves where the player will appear very large on screen. We're also pushing the camera in super close for 'cinematics'. We really thought about the decal approach…
Here's the thing. can you learn all the skills you need to get a job without going to school? yes. would you have gotten to where you are without it? Thats up to you. some people have the motivation to learn on their own. some dont. school can be great for some, as it pushes them to finish projects. some people dont need…
As an artist that feelings not going to go away unfortunately, even with titles under your belt, awards etc. Its good as its going to push you to improve and constantly self evaluate your work. Its also going to suck due to picking yourself apart all the time and constantly comparing yourself to others. Its a difficult…
Thank you very much guys ! To answer Tetranome, I had to make a choice between sunset et moon lighting as I don't have enough time to push for both. I stick to the sunset one as it was my initial choice and that the colour scheme felt nicer. I also had to tone down the amount of carpet on the ground as it was too noisy.…
Cheers for the support, jogshy. I have a request that might be a big parenthesis in the grand scheme of things, but I was doing a big batch render earlier and thought it would be nice with Growl/Growl for Windows push notification support, so that when everything is done a notification is pushed out and my phone gives me a…
Messed with the spec a little and pushed some colors around to create more contrast by pushing the greens in the shell and moving the fleshier bits more towards a red/purple. I overlayed some green gradient over the front of each section to create more interest and separate the sections a little more too. :)…
Thanks a lot, i'm definitely with you on the dirt and wear, want to push it further. I´m looking in too decals in unreal but it doesn't really work at the moment but then i will give the wall some breakup. Also some of the props are still in the first texture-fase and i will try to push the Last of Us theme more. Yeah it…
i really feel you are losing a lot of the "character" of the concept, you are trying to normalize it by pushing the style back to a comfort zone. a big part of this character is no chin, smoothe round head with no nose, eyes nothing more than base line work. arms on concept are straight less muscular definition. no lips.…
Bungie was pretty smart about not pushing more lore on the players than they could handle, it was there if you dug deep enough or read the books, but 343 pretty much takes the deep lore and pushes it into a sequel, which was even a bit hard on myself, and much more on someone who has no idea what's going on! It makes for a…
