Re: Whats a good course to start with likeness?
i wouldn't recommend to pay for a $600 course from an expert that only has 15 hours of video for a task that requires hundreds of hours per asset. That seems more like a course that may be helpful if you are already pretty far along and are looking for a push to get to the next level that you can't get to on your own. If… -
Seam showing in mirrored UVs After Baking Normal
Hi everybody. I have a very persistent problem I seem unable to solve. I am working on a model and to save texture space I mirrored some parts. The process I follow in From Blender to Substance is: Unwrap and straightenmy UVs -> Apply my Mirror modifier -> Offset the position of the mirrored UVs by exactly one UV tile to… -
Re: Why I failed in the gaming Industry. (also artdump eyy?)
Thanks for all your contributions, your support is highly valued here! And thanks for sharing your progression, I think this is helpful for other game developers to be realistic in assessing their own careers. It’s not easy sometimes, and game dev can be a real pressure cooker, with all kinds of bad management practices.… -
SwarmBot (critiques are welcome here)
A short description. A hard surface practice that grew out of a simple blockout doodle. There were two goals in mind. Firstly, explore ways to add tertiary details to the polymodeling workflow. Secondly, make the modeling process more streamlined and welcoming for design adjustments. The third goal was to relax after work… -
trying to find a popular pdf art guide, thought it was league of legends

Re: Wireframe affecting shading in substance painter
using smooth normals works when everything is perfect but at no other time. in practice, if the model looks good in an untextured, shaded view then you're in a good place to start baking. it's not a guarantee that hardening all your shell edges will look the best but it's a good starting point -
Re: Grusti's progress thread
Some feedback / thoughts: * Generally speaking don't render with a black background; aim for a dark grey like Polycount's background colour. * The DDO texture presentation isn't that practical if you want people to critique your textures / uving * I would avoid using the detail presets in legacy dDo. They can be helpful… -
Re: SketchBook: Kylie De Oliveira
The proportions of your foxes are overall rather nice and show an observant eye at work. I'd recommend to really push seeing objects and people as complex objects actually composed of relatively simple shapes. Doing some actual sketches of anatomy, drawing the human skeleton, and studying how all of the pieces fit together… -
Re: Why is it recommended to make all UV seams hard?
In general: hard edges require corresponding UV splits for padding but UV splits do not require hard edges. Hard edge placement is about controlling low poly smoothing behavior and baked normal gradation. UV seam placement is about optimizing usable texture space while also limiting texture distortion. Bringing the two…
