Re: Sniper
This week I finished setting up the sniper rifle inside Unreal Engine along with a small environment to showcase it. I produced multiple renders as well as several cinematic videos to present the weapon in context. I also created two different texture variations for the rifle while keeping the same base model. This allowed… -
Re: 3ds Max: Texture Atlas with repeatables
Here's a demo to get you started, it's a Max 2024 file. You just need a shader in Unity that supports per-texture scaling, so you can scale (tile) only the normal map and not the occlusion. I think the Standard Shader does allow this. With the viewport set to High Quality, you'll see the untiled occlusion and tiled bump. I… -

Re: Noob getting into industry type question
Yes, I agree with most of the posts here. Formal training isn't nearly as important as hands-on experience. And a school setting is not necessary for hands-on experience in this particular field. The most likely method for getting a job in games is to dive in and get your hands dirty. Practice, practice, and more practice.… -

Re: Maya Autosave?
there are a few scripts and plugins to do it, but they're all at least a little lame. as you can see from the script rebb linked, there are only options for Maya to check on the state of things after a state changes - you change selection or you change tool. So it's possible that even with a 2 minute autosave interval you… -
Re: Post one nice photo you've taken recently
Lightroom helped me get better at the TECHNICAL side of photography by understanding why some photos worked beter than others TECHNICALLY. Lightroom has a lovely analyser feature that allows you to filter your shots by camera settings as well as other filters such as star ratings. I can look at my early poor roller derby… -
Re: What it takes to get in the Game industry?
If you're in the US and you get a free college education: TAKE IT! I went from CS student (undergrad diploma) to art student, and over 10 years later to CS student (masters). I worked as character and environment artist, and later as tech artist and tools developer. My interests changed during my career, and having that… -
Re: Gameplay Showreel WIP 2020
These are pretty cool and it's nice to see you thinking about the animations as a set. Is the idea that these will be playable animations or an NPC? If they are playable I'd suggest two things. 1.) When you animate in Maya, have one of your camera's set to what the player will be seeing (I'm guessing looking down on the… -
Re: Histogram looking pattern with distorder option - Substance Designer
I found loop node recently as a replacement for slope blur with unlimited number of sampling for things like that. it might get quite slow although. For "disorder" you can just set different seed slider for initial blobs in tile sampler node or different seed in displacing noise. You can also use random darker tints in…
