Re: Steel Beams, Girders, Steel Trusses - modeling, texturing, LOD's, advice and tips ?
@musashidan Thank you for that last tip about UE adding that 1px to lightmap that is the kind of info I'm searching for that isn't stated in docs. :-) (I will need to redo some unwraps now to take that into account), I finally found way to look at lightmaps for some visual insight what is going on. They can be accessed… -
Re: Demo Reel - PeteHawk
Neat Pete!!! So right off the bat, it might be a personal thing, but I find the audio really distracting. I muted the reel right away and it was much easier to get through. Although I understand and appreciate the translation through space for some of your cycles, I have to say its tough breaking down what is going on with… -

No need to save and load uvs, just right click - copy - switch to second UV and right click - paste. -
Re: [UE4] Old Abandoned LIMB Clinic (Deus Ex)
Currently working on the geo for a sofa :) - then I'll just need to make a version of my Dusty Master Material that uses the Cloth shading model. Right now I'm thinking the base being painted metal and having some geometry normal-affecting decals to get this kind of look: Here's a rough paintover to plan asset placement,… -
Re: Losing Your Artistic Voice to Convenient Asset Packs
Won't they just look like asset flips? I'm not talking from experience or whatever here, but I feel like art directors or whatever they call that kind of thing from studio to studio or team to team, are probably very fitting into that phrase about "if you do it right, they won't notice you did anything". If you don't have… -
Re: [WIP] Coffin Apartment
No, it didn't take me a month to model a fan. Well, I hope not. Honestly, I've been sidetracked by other (smaller projets), and preoccupied with the prospect of employment. But since I haven't found a job yet, and my portfolio is (fairly) up to date, I decided I had nothing better to do than come back to this. Hopefully… -
Re: Lightning advice
I think the "why" of choosing lighting is normally just about composition. Where do you want to create contrast and draw attention, etc. But once you've determined the light sources in your scene, you have a pretty solid idea what to do. I'm no expert so my explanation might not be 100% correct, but I'll give it a shot: In… -
Re: looking for texture advice/crits
What I would do right now is to focus on the diffuse, put everything else aside for now. Focus only on the diffuse. Ask yourself questions like: Where would the wear/tear be on this particular object? On the gloves it might be light on the knockles from punching people in the face. The boots might have some damage,… -
Re: Alley Environment
Hey dude, Your art test is off to a good start, but I would say it could really benefit from a nice polish pass before you include it into your portfolio. I know you only had a week to get 'er done, but really try and break down the test into a comfortable schedule and stick to it. Maybe 3 days for concept and modeling, 3… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag - Render Light Artefacts
lights look to be to close to the wall, maybe change the lighting from one of the 3 options and move the lights. yappin: I always wanted a "customizable" lighting situation even down to fade control, and funnel "think light-saber", perhaps objects can be turned into lights? maybe that would help me out, probably to…
