I have dabbled in 3d and 2d and seem to get side-tracked, or life throws me off whether its a ridiculous job or whatever. I am finally in a situation where I have more time to create art and can still make ends meet. My question involves me wondering what to do to actually get some experience going. I realize concept art…
Hello everyone! Im a final year student at my uni and currently I am making a modular kit for a rural medieval village. Im looking for some feedback for my modular kit, any feedback in general is appreciated, but if you want me to be more specific then here are some that I would like to have feedback on: * The layout of…
This project showcases a full CGI recreation of the Pagani Utopia steering wheel, modeled, textured and rendered entirely from scratch. The goal was to develop a one to one digital replica of a real world asset, a scenario that often happens in production when the client cannot provide reference models or ready to use…
Hi. I'm planning on working in the game industry as a 3D Character Artist (it could be AA, AAA or indie, though I'm focusing on stylized characters so maybe AAA is off limits). I'm currently on my way to finishing my first decent-quality character for my portfolio. My current specs are: - Motherboard: ASUS H170I-PRO- CPU:…
thanks for your opinion poopipe. So far looks like centuries old technique painting it by hand by long flat sabel brush by very oily paint with random rotation, then using another puffy sable brush to subtly smear the paint tangential to original stroke makes a best illusion for height image. Too bad there is nothing like…
that link won't help you anyway - the thing getting fixed was superceded by other engine changes. from memory I don't think you can set the priority/order on a per material basis so you're gonna want to split this into separate meshes or modify your decal sheet. I'm not sure which option is best for your use case - pick…
Hi! To sacboi's point, you might want to tighten up the mesh shading of the environment using hard edges. Since it's textured using a trim atlas which was baked to a flat plane, the normal map is not compensating for any gradients in mesh shading. I would note that the of the shading of the hero asset in Unreal appears to…
At the moment, I am developing a horror game environment for my final major project at university, drawing inspiration from Highgate Cemetery, Victorian spiritualism, and classic British/American horror films like Hellraiser and The Exorcist. My tutor recently shared on Polycount that he visited Highgate Cemetery after…
Works great for me. The yellowish glow makes for a nice focus / separation of foreground and background. The materials could maye be a bit more different regarding their glossiness, but that might be due to the lightmapping (are you using something for extra reflections, like a cubemap?). But even so, it's working fine.…
