Re: Lack of Environment Artists
To Rick Stirling: QUOTE "I've not seen any guns in Tony Hawks. Or Bully. Or Need For Speed. Or Mario. Or Monkey Ball. All of those do have environments though." END QUOTE. I used to work at Rockstar Vancouver, and was an artist on Bully, and the funny thing about the weapons that made it into the game is... Is that they… -
Re: SuperPNG broken these days, any alternatives?
If you want to preserve the RGB values, you can force Photoshop by increasing the black level of your mask to be 1/255 instead of zero. Use Levels on the alpha, and set the lower Output to 1. Then it will look to the human eye as being completely transparent, but the full RGB will be preserved. The PNG spec says in the… -
Baking lights SUCKS!! Does your studio use dynamic environment lighting?!?
<start mini rant> Just a micro rant but I've been 'stuck' using Unreal tech for the last 4 years and am getting pretty damn sick and tired of baking lights. Even using Beast just sucks. Looks great - but takes an f'n long time. Seems like there is just so much overhead involved w/ static lighting - lightmaps, lightmap… -
Re: Complete workflow in Z-Brush ? Advice needed
Ok thanks for the answers so far, brings me further already. Yes I want to work in games, but not as classical hard surface or character artist, but I want to be able to model properly. Thing is I started really early with the matter and i learn really fast, also learned a lot about gamedesign aswell, and I worked really… -
Re: [UE5] Lighting help needed! Jungle Scene
There is probably a way to use one image for lighting and have another show up in the BG, but I wouldn't use a foliage one anyway, just wanted to check. Depending on if there's something behind the camera, you might want to block that part of the scene in/off if it won't be seen at any point, so there's less light coming… -

Re: Sketchbook: stray
It's not procrastination if I make a modifier for the current model, right? Eh, who am I kidding... Anyway, I've made a quick (but slow) Geonodes modifier to fill an unwrapped mesh with tiled geometry... yay. I don't want to use Boolean to remove extra geometry (it will be VERY slow), so the edges are a bit broken. So they… -
Re: RSI from 3d modeling / Wacom tablet advice
I use a logitech mouse with a side button that i set to middle mouse. I am a maya user. I use logitech software to make that side button a toggle, so similar to the blender function I only have to click once, move a thing, then click again to toggle. In maya too you also want to be aware of how you can use middle mouse to… -
Re: [FINISHED] Real-Time Character - Pigeon - Marmoset Toolbag 5
That looks like a fun gnarly character with a lot of detail, but especially the beauty shots are really hard to read. The metal arm basically disappears into the body in the first shot, even without squinting. Perhaps you wanted to show the skulls, but having a stronger light from the left/back/top and less from the front… -
Re: Programmers, some can scare the s**t out of me....
Just stumbled across this thread, I figure hey I have 2 cents why not toss them in right here! What's amazing to me is how almost every post in this thread is so far off from the original intent or at least the intent I got from the original post; which I read as follows: "man I have had some weird interactions during my…
