Re: Wooden axe
You add story by thinking about what has happened to the prop, it's an ax so the first questions that come to my mind; Has it been sharpened recently? Has it been used recently? How old is the wood? Is the wood beginning to rot? Has the blade ever been chipped when it was miss swung and hit a rock? When you're creating a… -
Re: It's been a while, so I'm going to art dump[IMGHVY]
Those are all great! I like the last one, it looks like an angry bum, painted his face white and ran into your shirt. The 3D props are pretty cool. The normal/bump map on the newspaper stand looks to be going the wrong way? They are a bit noisier then I like my props but thats personal taste. I've also been working on way… -
Re: TurboSmooth Pro released
so here's what i think about this plugin: the plugin itself is very good, but the purpose of creasing in the workplace is questionable. if you've used maya or modo before, you've probably already used semi-sharp creasing. turbosmooth pro quite simply adds this functionality. the plugin interface will be familiar to anyone… -
Re: [Baking Error] Having Hard Seam Line
Hi! Props for attaching files :-B Taking a look at the lowpoly, I'd say with beveled edges and the resulting mesh shading, hard edges become redundant. While hard edges need UV splits (when baking a normal map), not every edge along a UV split needs to be shaded hard. I would use use hard edges deliberately in places where… -
[UE4] Maschinen Krieger Colony
Hey everyone here is a short trailer I put together of an environment I made in UE 4. Terrain is all Megascans and the props were made with Modo, Marmoset Toolbag 3/4 and Substance Painter. The mech design is from Maschinen Krieger the other props are of my own design. There are a few small black props in there I did not… -
Dragon hunters weapons
Finished up the props for the character. There's also a lighting turnaround vid here https://www.artstation.com/artwork/QnVZJE (not sure if there's a way to embed videos on polycount so I just linked it.) These shiny metallic props turned out to be trickier than expected. Its tough to make sure details and variation are… -
Re: How do I know what should be normal mapped/baked in an environment?
^^ I've always viewed it as reusable props vs unique level geometry Props are usually high detail/loddable&reusable, unique geometry is usually none of those things. You'll tend to do unique bakes for the props because you get a lot of benefit for the time/resource investment (they're scattered all over the place and you… -
Re: [WIP][UE4] Rural Church Piano Environment - Finished!
Made some more props this weekend. Pens, lighter, cans, spoon, and a map. As well as some other tweaks to lighting and cameras. I'm finally done all the props that I want and will now move over to working on the walls, floor and trim. Some props look like they're floating but it's just that they're too small to cast shadow… -
Re: Efficient Use of Texture Sheets
Right. So the reference isn't for any one specific item. I understand the principles of efficient UV use, but the reference is more for providing a visual example to other people. Good packing is easy to find, but getting examples of reuse is what is tripping me up. People are happy to reuse textures in modular environment… -
Re: Texture Styles Exploration
Nice improvement on some of those props. These props seem to be targeted to a NDS or something like that, but part of it could be your images. One thing to remember when only painting diffuse textures is that the specular needs to be shown and come through in your diffuse map. Some of your work (boxes) it's pretty spot on…
