[Riot Art Contest] - Ylke
Topic by ylke · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Creative Contest 2017› Riot Creative Contest 2017 - Environment ArtHello, really excited to be taking part in this competition. As I'm currently juggling this challenge with school work, I might be very inconsistent with my updates. Hope to be able to fully complete this challenge. To start out, I'm currently just sketching out rough ideas before developing out on one of them. As for the… -
Re: The Bi-Weekly Substance Challenge (Challenge 5 & 6 & MeetMat17)
Just dropping in to give some feedback. Still very busy so I can't join in again quite yet but hopefully soon. @Nathan3D Looks very good. The moss I feel seems a little stringy at parts. Would be cool to see a little more definition on the moss too as it's seems a little flat. What kind of reference did you use for the… -
Re: Max not baking out top few pixels of maps
As a rule of thumb, you never want to use something that does slight overall distortion, like Pelt or Relax. At least not on straight, mechanical parts, it's unavoidable for some parts (like 1930's car wheel arches). I always unwrap vehicles with just Planar Projection, Flatten/Unwrap and some Cylindrical mapping, plus… -
Re: Da Dawg Bowl - New Generator Library Release for Substance Designer
Thank you! I had about 4 or 5 attempts at this material before I got the rock generation looking decent. The distance node was my instinct at first, but I realized that I couldn't control the form of my rocks at all. Eventually I moved to an approach making bubbly forms that have some definition to them with the Tile… -
Re: Best PC specs?
Call Dell and get an XPS 730x with an extended warranty and you will be jas happy as a pig in mud. Its the exact same thing as an alien ware but you are not paying an arm and a leg for a cool name. I know that Dell does mark up their parts a bit but I think its totally worth it as Dell has replaced my PC 3 times since I… -
Re: nORMALS ZBRUSH TO mAX
I don't know about Zbrush's normal mapping tools, but to do it in xNormal, you'd need to redo the UVs so that everything that needs to be projected is in the first quadrant. For the mirrored or repeated parts (anything that's going to overlap and use the same pixels), you'd want to offset the overlapping parts outside of… -
Re: Travis's Art Dump
@ Oniram: thanks @sltrOlsson: Thanks, and for the texture, I originally started out with a different design with a lot of influence from some designsfrom Paul Richards, when I was close to being done my teacher told me some center parts in the design did not make since (see the lp with norm in one of the older post), then… -
Re: Workshop Analysis: Creating Characters in Uncharted 4 with Naughty Dog's Character Arts Team
Oh I understand, I guess I'm just not surprised by that at all. Naughty Dog prides itself on artistry and brute forcing things until it looks perfect. They rarely fall back on one click solutions or overly automating any one part of the workflow. Which is why their stuff looks incredible. -
Re: 💭📚Learning from tutor Vs learning through online tutorials🔖
In my personal opinion, Michael Pavlovich is the one stop shop. I personally learned ZBrush from his Eat3D tutorials/ video DVDs, but I know he also has a YouTube series that is probably very similar. You can check them out here: Part One Part Two Part Three -
Re: Unreal Engine 5, Download Early Access
I think the "cleanest" games will be in the realms of stylized art now. They would look worse with dense assets, so continuing to make low poly models and baking will still be part of the aesthetics of those games. And you'll be free to do it like before, for "clean" stuff. But that's a not-so-big part of games, for the…
