Re: Layoff update
Very nice, great job on your project! I'll have to take a peek at it on steam and as for game dev employment - yes needless to say things have been a bit turbulent imho ever since covid but opportunities still do exist for art aligned roles. I mean just on these boards alone had occasionally noticed members exchanging an… -
Magpul PMAG30 Gen M3 Magazine
Hey everyone, I want to introduce you to my new artwork, Magpul PMAG30 Gen M3 Magazine. During the work, I practiced improving both the overall appearance of the textures and the individual emphasis on the Opacity Map. The project is available in two versions: without ammunition and with cartridges.… -
Erza Draksya — Fantasy Character Design & Illustration
Hi everyone! I'm Erza Draksya, a fantasy character designer and illustrator based in France. I create original characters and worlds using a hybrid workflow (AI-assisted generation + manual Photoshop refinement). I'd love honest feedback on my work — what works, what doesn't, what catches your eye. Here's one of my latest… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate it. @Peyd3d =) You’re absolutely right about the shading issues. I’ve gone over the meshes several times and addressed a number of those areas already. Some of the round and beveled assets were causing issues, so I’ve increased the geometry there to improve the… -
Allyway too clean_continued
I posted this a little while ago a got a lot of feedback to some very gracious polycounters, now that this piece has been updated a little I am creating a new thread and would like more feedback plz. for the ground: I have seen a number of times brick layed on the ground in such a fashion as this and I also thought putting… -
Re: Just Swords - SpeedMetalSF
It's two different approaches. You could sculpt on the smoothed version of a subdivision modeling mesh, but that's then locked at the highest subdivision you ended up using, and, like you noticed, that's quite high indeed in order to be able to sculpt freely and not run into problems (although you should still work from… -
Re: UV Shell Too Large To Fit In UV Map!
I would try to go with a splatting shader and an alpha channeled dirtmap for the cracks, and tile it over the whole road. One draw call. Mabe two of the dirtmaps, different patterned and different scaled. This gives you the needed variations. Maybe this can even be done procedural in the shader. But i guess this would eat… -
How similar is too similar?
Let me just start by saying that everything about art and design is derivative. All art and design are in some way influenced by another artist or by objects in human history (which all have an original designer). In order for innovation and progress to happen people must be able to look at other artists creations without… -
Re: 3D Environment Artist Potfolio Critique/Feedback (Stylized)
Agreed, especially regarding the bedroom and the professor layton piece looking great. The only thing that stood out negatively to me immediately was the UV layout of the market stand. There doesn't seem to be a good reason to have the tabletops/shelves rotated at 45 degrees and have the edges stick out that way, only to… -
Question: Shadows are too dark, why?
I have a problem with my level, and it is that the light source casts really hard shadows, so there's two things I don't like: There's no blending between light and shadow, and shadows are really dark, almost pitch black if you look to them from a lightened place. AO in materials seems to be ok, and I have a skylight, but…
