Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | March - April (95)
@Iribree Thank you so much for your feedback. That means a lot. Your blockout is looking great so far. You did a great job in the sculpt too, but what I think for the chimney top part, rather than having it fully like an uneven surface, you can have a little bit of a flat surface to keep a balance. Except that everything… -
Re: [WIP] Churchill MK VII Tank
No crits for your UVs, modeling workflow plus final intent because it's probably how I'd approach generating an asset this complex and by the way, from my experience 5k triangle turret, is quite optimised considering the existing level of detail. So I'll confine my comment to eventual in-engine or realtime viewer showcase,… -
Re: Most Efficient Way to Render Ready Game Models
For portfolio entries people usually upload high resolution content alongside detailed breakdowns, so is there a reason why you've chosen an optimised route? also yes various workarounds do exist however posting a pic or two would be nice, to enable effective advice instead of guess-work i.e. organic or hard surface...etc? -
Re: Driller thingy WIP
Finally I was able to render it with turbosmooth on! Yey! I already edited the images above. Now off to the low poly. @Surfa: Yep, thank you. @achillesian: Well when I work, it's not continuous. But If I'll add up the number of hours I work for this prolly it took me about 10 days of work with 8-9 hrs a day. Am I too slow?… -
Re: Are Weapon/Hardsurface Artists In Game Studios Like Activision Using CAD?
Well, details like on this helmet absolutely cannot be distorted/elongated/stretched in CAD - that's just not how CAD surfacing works, and that's precisely why I showed this practical example ... Of course a simple grenade or belt buckle (or even a complex firearm, especially if a degree of improvisation is allowed) is… -
Re: do i have to bake complex curtains made in marvelous?
The issue you are having comes from ray missing error your baker does . When low res surface probably folds into itself or having narrow gaps and no way to separate parts telling what specific point ray should see/ stop at and what shouldn't. Possible solutions: 1. More low res shell encompassing the thing around having… -
Zbrush: How to replicate this technique?
Hello peeps, I'm trying to understand how to mimic the striation detail in the curling wood. I understand the sculpting to get the larger shapes but with the small intricate striations running through one another I'm wondering if it was hand sculpted or is it possibly using an alpha or an alpha in the surface noise. If it… -
Re: Unwrapping a Sphere?
@Noren you read it correctly. however in my experience baking and display rendering engines are not always perfectly aligned. especially when you are using more than 1 rendering engine (one for rendering animations, and one for rendering real-time content(in the editor or a game engine). so you can't always count on them… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
I think I worked out the problem I've been having. After much brain-wracking and frustration. Partly it's that I don't need to try so hard to make "planar" mean "flat planes"; volume is fine. The other part....Hmm, I think something maybe just clicked in how I'm supposed to look at the reference. Also, I paid proper… -
Re: Building modular interiors question!
If you think about what density means, it's saying that a certain amount of surface space is equal to a certain amount of pixels. If your density is 1024pixels/m that means 1m = 1024pixels. So if you divide your 1m grid into 50cm, what does that mean for your pixels? 512px = 50cm. Now think about your mesh grid. There is…
