Re: Snowboarder Girl, next gen character
hey guys, I appreciate the bumps! makes me realise it's about time I posted something... I've mostly been working on the face lately and adding in all the small elements. I just need to refine a lot of the small bits and then I'm done with the head, then a couple more things to do to the main body and I'm done. Oh and… -
Re: Unity Metallic/Metalness not showing Smoothness Slider
Yeah, just looking through the include files. Although if you hover over the input slots in the editor, then it'll tell you in the tooltip what texture channel it derives the information from (they aren't automatically generated - it's just written out in the custom shader inspector). UnityStandardInput.cginc has the… -
Re: Free ray tracing with POV-Ray
I guess it's still relevant for those who want to have full control on the rendering process and flexible scene definition with SDL- so very good for experiments. For example, latest version 3.8 beta has a very powerful feature: user-defined cameras for different non-standard projections, like equirectangular:… -
Re: [WIP] Generic Car for Realtime ArchViz
I was struggling with the front and completing the grille area. Moved away from a mesh-type grille fill as shown in the quick concepts, I just don't think I'll have the vert budget to accomodate the 3k-4k verts in such a mesh. The forms of the front just didn't gel: the core issue, I feel, was trying to force the 'blank'… -
Re: Some of my work
few more :) . Both professional and personal work, thanks for looking. Work i did for the Spongebob Surf and Skate Roadtrip game on kinect xbox 360. I was responsible for taking an existing ps2 mesh and uprezzing him for the xbox 360 alongside unwrapping the uv's efficiently. I had to pay close attention to topology that… -
Re: Valar Morghulis
I appreciate the feedback though I'm not sure I agree with all of this, smoothing out these defining character features pushes his face into feeling more generic and younger. As you round out cheeks and increase fat it starts leaning towards a baby face sort of feel. Though I think in this particular render my labial fold… -
Re: PBR Roughness/Metallic vs Specular/Gloss
To add on to the explanation(confusion?) of metallic: This is the way I'm used to working with PBR: 0 in metallic texture = Use a uniform standardized value to define your reflectivity curve: 1 in metallic texture = Fetch the value to be used to define your reflectivity curve from the Albedo texture. I.e. If you do define… -
Back to Zbrush and Photoshop ?
Some times ago I suddenly noticed how really good my assets and materials looked back at the time when it was simply Zbrush sculpt +vertex paint + a few subtle Photoshop touches . A workflow I abandoned around 2008. Zbrush forces you to make art decisions , to evaluate your every touch carefully . Super inconvenient micro… -
Re: Google expects artists to work for free...
Ouch, bringing the agression, huh MachineMinded? Yes, programming is all about problem solving. You start with a defined solution, and then you figure out how to reach that solution, using the tools and syntax at hand. However, there is never any one method to reach that solution. In theory, there are an infinite number of… -
Re: Abandoned Dacha Environment - Modular Kit with interiors
Thanks everyone for the kind words and the great questions! Let’s dive in. Working in VR is truly like walking on a razor's edge. It’s a technical hell where every decision must be calculated ten steps ahead. Performance requirements (high resolution across two displays + high frame rates) leave no room for error, and you…
