Sorry for the double reply. Having now looked at it on a non-mobile device, I have to say that the environments themselves need a much greater emphasis on modeling and texture. They seem like very simple models with textures simply overlayed. I don't think that will cut it anymore. The bridge is also 25K polygons. That's a…
Click here to download - www.epic-pen.com Hi I heard about this tool during a talk from Bluezoo yesterday. If anyone spends there life explaining things on screen its a lot better then the snipping tool, its also non destructive so you can load up another screen and go back to your drawings and they are on an overlay. To…
Firstly, I know how you feel, I'm also 25 and working towards a job in the industry as an artist of some sort. A lot of people will tell you to 'man up', and in all honesty while it's harsh advice... it's also probably the best advice. Negativity and feeling depressed will only yield poor results in your creativity. Now…
Well ... to some extent you've pretty much answered your own question already : you get the output from Wrap, then attach it to whatever body you need it to be attached to (either by actually welding verts, or by just manipulating normals at the edges to make things visually seamless). Wrap3 doesn't "autoretopo" anything…
Okay, is working, but now will need to think about workflow and what it needs to make things efficient and simple. Here is breakdown of the basic code though: For maya python script, same as before but newline is needed to prevent that empty row issue (I don't know why, it just works): note that you have to select…
@artquest Hey there! Wow.., I completely forgot about this post as it's been a while since I wrote this haha. I appreciate your words of wisdom, and I agree a lot with what you wrote. It's understandable though building up a presence online (especially now). That said I do think it's pretty important to have some presence…
Ok so, I decided to open my bake from marmoset and look at this area on the bake and it looks like the high poly must have faces that overlap and therefore cause an issue? Although I had already re-done the decimation to a lesser degree and the bake looked fine in marmoset for the most part, looking at the normal map in…
Hi! Perhaps you find some useful info on the Concept wiki page I think the base of many environment concepts is a 3d blockout. For example concepts could be done on top of renders of a greybox level, or the current level state to explore options. I think a crucial part when fleshing out an idea, whether 2d or 3d, is…
Hey Polycounters, I've been looking for someone to share, compete, work with and collab with making and complete unreal games in the range between 1-20 Gigabytes. I have an extensive unreal library and although I'm not looking for any specific Jam or Project I am looking for a specific person. I need someone that has some…
http://www.3dartistonline.com/news/2015/04/how-do-i-create-real-time-hair-for-games/ The way alpha cards are placed there is how I did mine. Use proxy meshes if you need to create separate groups of volumes; don't just rely on your character's head for the base.
