Re: Photo Realistic Nissan 350z
one technique i have used in the past with mental ray is floating a white self illuminated plane above the car that actually creates light and reflections. It worked good. Can't remember all the details this was probably about 4 years ago. But yeah my suggestion. Check out 3 Point Shader lite and create your materials in… -
Re: Any tips for final university project?
Yea... once more. keep the scope of the project small. The smaller the nodes, the more polished it will feel like. Specially if you keep things to a confined area and less open world. Things like that can be mocked to have it appear as a big env, but its very linear and constricted. The scrum is very useful, you will know… -
Re: TRON - PLAYER - Jonny5Alive
The reason I was thinking a material would be ok, is that an "in game engine" would have sort of shader built in. I don't think that would bend the rules... The reason I didn't think of doing a spec map, the specs states the following.... USER / PROGRAM - (player model) - 1024 TRIANGLES, 1 512 x 512 (diffuse, spec, trans,… -
Re: Map Building Timelapse?
Autocon, you could try something like fraps, and i believe there are other solutions taking screenshots every now and then, but i guess it would still be so ewhat strange. As on a char you are pretty much focussing on one piece, on env you jump around all the time, so to see progress you'd have to stage a cam which is… -
Re: super epic art tests
Its good to see all the Epic folk coming out and posting on this thread since you guys have one of the most massively insane Env. Art test I have ever seen and you all didn't mind do it. I think all you people need to suck it up and take an art test if your apply or a job, its just part of the process. Maybe there is a… -
Re: How I feel about Maya
Well Glib yeah I agree about env work. But for pure asset creation ... I don't think it really matters. Plus I keep thinking that tasks like UVs, baking, and basic shader setups would be best tackled by dedicated associate artists, in the official 'pipeline package' decided for the team. But the highpoly modeling and the… -
Re: The new expressway into the industry
".. someone with pyromaniac tendencies, and a talent for math" hmmmmm. I'm first a coder and seen more that a few of these types of job openings. This may be a good route for persons like me that are 'ok' in everything yet master of none. FX artists will have to play a big catch-up to match the quality of the other art.… -
Re: Interior Levels and UV's
You're basically halving your resolution, then halving it again. Generally games try to avoid this kind of mapping, because it's jarring to the player when the texture resolution changes suddenly from asset to asset. You're right that a modular approach is the way to go. But generally Env Artists try to setup their UV… -
The color of the city ( UDK environment)
Hi guys :) This is an old level I upgrad some shader and new lighting mood, a short cut scene is beblow. I tried some Dxd 11 stuff, but at the end, only the Dof is Dxd11, other all Dxd9.
