Monthly Concept suggestion thread for the P&P section?
After seeing a bunch of threads regarding competitions, I noticed someone always seems to chime in with "why do you need a contest to create great work?". Which is true, one shouldn't need a competition to create something great. However I know people actually enjoy the spec restrictions, as well as being given a theme to… -
Futuristic Russian Helicopter (Hind inspired)
Hello polycounters, Before I talk about the heli I just wanted to give a quick intro. I've been a longtime lurker of this site and have gained a lot of insight and inspiration from many members, especially over the last 12+ months as I've been overhauling my portfolio. My background in games started back in 2004 when I… -
Macbook Pro for Maya
Hey all, My desktop is getting harder and harder to lug around so I recently purchased a 2014 Macbook Pro retina 13" to use on the go. I am interested if this would be an okay machine to use for Maya? The specs on Autodesk's site say it is on paper, but on other forums (macrumors, apple forums, etc.) people are saying Maya… -
Re: Brawl² Challenge / Competition, Vote and discussion?
Going to have to respectfully disagree with this one, not the stuff about no AI, that is totally fine, but about having no limitations. I don't think you can accurately judge a 1 billion triangle super detailed sculpt piece against a low poly hand painted piece, it's a problem I feel that has popped up with other… -
PS5, Series X, (Google Stadia-RIP) Other next gen consoles, lets get on down to specifics
As the PS5 and XBox2 are now widely talked about being in development at particular studios with what might be a 2019 or more likely 2020 release date, I was wondering if we could start getting on down to some technical performance chit chat. From an artistic point of view if we can see what we should be gearing ourselves… -
Re: Worklog. BreaK-
since you asked for my feedback... the biggest problem is there's not enough basic material variation. look at your spec and gloss maps, there's really no variation because of the limited range (its all midtones) lack of color and the same cloudy overlay throughout. for the range: plan out your materials before you make… -
Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
It's from the LessWrong community... lol Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality was a fun read back in the day Realistically, if real artificial life came into being, they would 100% attempt to kill most or all humans, and advance to a point of unchallengeable technological superiority. It would be the logical thing… -
Re: M26 Grenade
Yeh I think i could tweak the spec a bit to make the metal parts shine more. maybe just turn the spec up in marmoset or change my lighting. I may more on a lower detail version to cut it down to 1000 tris. would that be a reasonable amount for a current fps model. i went and played some COD and really noticed you never… -
Re: A better shader for UDK
Better in the sense of the way it handles gloss. I have been using Skyshop for the new project I am working on and it just looks a million times better compared to UDKs default spec/gloss. Unfortunately Unity's lighting is still awful so that is why I want to use UDK for my personal project still. If I can get Lee's shader… -
Re: [WIP] Skyfall environment
i'm gonna assume it could be your spec power thats causing the spec to only show up in certain angles. but there could be other reasons, such as lighting. To make it more tile like, you'll definitely want to work that idea of reflection, just do a few tests and fix it up. use a light reflection though. Also, i'm seeing…
