Retro 3D Art FAQ - Everything you need to know to create PS1/N64/Dreamcast/etc. 3D art!
Welcome to the 'Retro 3D FAQ', a thread dedicated to sharing information about the creation of 3D art for game consoles made before the age of programmable pixel shaders. If you enjoy the look of 3D games from the 90's and early 2000's, and would like to learn how to make such art yourself, this is the thread for you! :)… -
Re: Glossiness/Roughness for Schlick - How to do it?
What kind of specular model are you using this Schlick fresnel with? "standard", it's float base = 1.0 - dot(V, H);float exponent = pow(base, 5.0); float fresnel = exponent + F0 * ( 1 - exponent ); You might try to divide that last bit by a value, to get a 'roll off' Here's a Kelemen Szirmay-Kalos brdf/specular w/… -
3ds max, ortographical projection mapping?
So I am trying to do some render to texture normal mapping, but I keep hitting on an issue I am not sure of how to adress. I always assumed projection mapping was ortographical and that the view was based directly traced from the polies of the cage. This appears to not be the case. Instead it seems to use the UVMap to… -
Rock Golem
Hello all, I posted a long time ago and just generally a watcher(seems to be the saying around here) but I have something to post this time. Images might be dark for some people so I tried to bump up the lighting a bit, this was a school assignment. I had a bit of concept but it evolved from a swamp type guy to what you… -
THRONE ROOM - The Dragon Catacombs - Will Faucher
Hello! I'm thinking of a rather unconventional throne room, which would be ruled by a dragonslayer. I got the inspiration from Peter Jackson's art direction in The Hobbit; Thranduil's Halls in Mirkwood (found in my reference sheet). I adore the lack of large, flat, straight areas, the chaos and dynamism in the design. So I… -
World Machine- flatten valleys?
Any idea what kind of filters I can use in World Machine to create flat valley areas without killing mountains? -
Re: Duplicate of a duplicate ( what is happening ? ) can be removed
Working only on half of your model will work. Also, I am kinda guessing/possibly not understanding well/ that you tried to UV unwrap your high poly? If that is the case, your high poly doesn't need UVunwrapping only your low poly. Your low poly's shading should be always smooth shaded although in some cases you may need to… -
Re: PBR: The Problem with Greyscale Metalness
I had to head out of town to handle a small emergency today, but I wanted to share another part of the metalness workflow that not many people know: Where did the original rule of 0 or 1 only come from? When Disney introduced the metalness workflow 4 years ago, they urged artists working with their system to use binary… -
Re: 3ds Max Unweap UVW - packing
Without TexTools, I would grab all the elements and select specific verts for flat aligning. As they would share the same space, it's just a matter of getting them stacked correctly together, then adjust the final shape of the shell to fit the texture area. Boxes and 90-degree shapes are faster as you can select multiple… -
Re: How do you texture?
I've grown fond of projection painting. I haven't done any texturing in a while but when I did I was experimenting with using applications like Mudbox, 3DCoat and zBrush's zApplink plugin to texture. The ability to jump between Photoshop and 3D space eliminates the guesswork of painting on your flat texture, and then…
