Re: Fox Engine: The Core of MGS: Ground Zeroes
I think artists will have to worry more about tech, the more "real" things get. Example: physically based shaders (we see them in UE4 and PS4 launch titles). In the past you could just tweak stuff until the little artist inside you was happy, without having to understand anything about real world lighting physics. Now if… -
Re: Military Desert Knife (WIP)
Hey Thank You! Its just a Diffuse Map on the Blade. The Handle is a Maya standart material, because i didnt unwrap the handle yet. Ok, i didnt know that the logo is an american/english company. I just picked it up from google pic search. My reference is an Eickhorn Kampfmesser 2000, and thats german. I changed Name and… -
Re: Legcy/oldschool shading in Marmoset 2?
Well, it sort of depends on what you mean by legacy. If you mean pre-PBR diffuse/spec/gloss, this is pretty easy to set up, simply use the default shader, and in the reflectivity tab turn Fresnel to 0 and turn off Conserve Energy. This will work give pretty similar results to older shaders. If you mean you want a diffuse… -
Re: I'm making open world Playstation 1 graphics.
4k and 8k is possible nowadays but you really rarely use it because its very expensive so that its possible doesn't mean its optimal. My another thought is that you should really do some texture atlasing. Anyways, making "ps1 graphics" in UE4 doesn't really make sense, it will still have huge system requirements, because… -
Re: Retro Pinup Space Girl
Great idea JadeEye, I'll definitely get to work on incorporating some freckles and blemishes! Can't believe i haven't thought of that (especially since she's a redhead). BagelHero: I've been watching that video over and over while making this character and I can't seem to match their results with the same settings. Around… -
Re: New attempt at some highpoly props
heya, my main crit would be that maybe you should have tried something a little more adventurous then a barrel that said i probably would have just mirrored the other side as you haven't made anything on the object particularly unique for example dents and scratches. As for the texture it is all very samey could the raised… -
Re: The Comfy Room (Frozen concept)
Thanks everyone - @PyrZern - interesting point, because when I look at the concept i'm getting the impression that the door on the left is on a slightly higher platform, with a couple of steps up to it - which throws out the line of the wall sill when looking at a different angle. I can see entirely what you mean though! I… -
Re: 629 S&W Stealth hunter (revolver)
Ah thank you for your comments! I will tweak the light setup and post flats soon, need some breakfast! :D Sat with this until five AM last night >.< I'm going for a used, but not "dirty used". More of a, i'm professional in my killing business and i clean my gun, approach :P I will absolutely look into darkening down the… -
Re: Warhammer Valkyrie WIP
Welcome to polycount Braxer. It's always nice to see WH40k stuff. The first thing I'd say is that the texture is too dull. What's interesting though is that you actually did a good job of getting some small burn/scratch marks on the model in many of the right places, but it seems as if you merged all layers and decreased… -
Re: Ironhawks work thread
Yeah, i'm not suggesting the noise-overkill scratch every edge up, that doesn't actually add character in my opinion, and when you scratch every edge, its the same as not scratching ANY. Just how contrast works. So basically, when texturing an object there are three distinct phases/types of detail: 1. Base materials, this…
