Re: Hand Painted Fantasy Environment
Thanks so much for the crits guys, long hours can impair your judgement. Nate: Went ahead and tried a desaturated version and kept the desaturated sky in the second version as well. Vcortis: Bumped up the contrast a bit. Matroskin: Spent a good bit of time revisiting the original concept and bringing the colors together.… -
Re: Leaving Solace - environment exercises
That looks cool =) . Really like the mood and vegetation adding silhouettes everywhere. Also good job on the overal use of modular stuff everywhere! some crits: -i think that tree is losing way to many leaves, it would be about 2 seconds to strip it naked at that rate! It adds way too much energy in what should be a moody… -
Re: Is this good enough a Concept Sheet for Game Production Pipeline?
The way I think about environments is a bit different depending on game vs movie. With a movie you have to think about the graphical read and your areas of interest. The shot might only be there for 5 seconds so what is it that you need to sell as an idea to the audience. Also, camera angle and shot should be something the… -
Re: Help me to become a better 3D artist! :)
Thanks for the response, and yeah I agree with the above, for some reason once I get a certain amount of any model I'm working on done I tend to rush the presentation of it, don't ask me why coz I do it all the time! It's a habit I'm trying to break, I must get a little impatient towards the end of a model lol Also I was a… -
Re: Best way to go about texturing this?
If you are going to do a big scene you have to have some way over layering details on. First you need to know if your engine supports Decals or Multiple UVs. If it doesn't support either you could try creating an extra set of polygons above the ground to add in those details but you could get flickering issues if you do… -
Re: I feel stuck in a rut, looking for direction
6 months would be possible if I were just doing 3d and I were to lock myself in a tiny room.. or not working at a job at all... The bulk of the project is for myself, but of the elements that I would be doing for it in 3d would be for my education in learning modular environment design, a little bit of level design ish,… -
Re: HELP!!! Considering a new PC
I would recommend the Noctua NH-U12P CPU-cooler. You get a full package with a really efficient and silent fan, a good paste and even a screwdriver. It has gotten excellent reviews everywhere and I thought it was pretty easy to install and it keeps my q6600 way cooler than it needs to be really. Antec Performance P182… -
Re: Rent an artist?
I'm not sure I totally agree with everything said here, especially not about renting cops cause that sounds outrageous. Haha. The difference between code and graphics is that even if you have to change code you can usually keep a lot of the code you did and just change the parts that are wrong. For graphics it may be… -
Re: Questions about UV best practices in game development.
You are going to have a lot more than just this one thing in your game. For enviro art you are usually grouping props by material sets. So everything that is metal might go together, everything that is concrete might go together, etc. In my own work, usually the deciding factor is shader based. What I mean is, certain… -
Re: [Environment] Cortyard
So.. I have build a simple scene to test lighting.. and after a few days I can say I still don't understand it. I have read a saw dozens of articles and videos about lighting but not a single one answered all my questions. (fully static lighting) So first I create directional light with some bounces. Then I add atmospheric…
