Re: Blizzard Cover Letter for Overwatch team: LF Critiques [Art Outsource Associate]
Hey Xavier, Francois, Kevin, and everyone else. Did my best to implement your critiques and pare down the unneeded fluff from the cover letter and add more about what I did as a developer. Hopefully this is a better draft. Thinking about sending it by tonight PDF link here. What does everyone think? Any additional… -
Re: Stylized Victorian City
Started vertex painting the street. Adjusted some textures. Added some background buildings, I think I might make their material darker so it sort of just ads to the silhouette.. Kind of pondering whether the left side of the image is working or not. A tree seems a bit weird and it's not helping me frame the image as much… -
Re: How do you know when you're finished working on something?
i can only comment from a student point of view however, i'm in an accelerated program meaning a normal 17 week ish term is condensed down to only 9 weeks. so i have to deal with this sort of thing all the time. i always try (try being the key word lol) to look at "time vs results" when you start adding those little things… -
Re: Depth Map Shadows in Source?
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Self Shadowing can be clearly seen in all of those trailers Valve relased. AO is not baked afaik. [/ QUOTE ] He's right. I hadn't seen it yet.

Re: Sketchbook: aumramaram
I'm so done clicking things. Is the shape of the mouse cursor *really* an arrow or is that just like a symbol, or something else entirely? -
Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
I see purchasing the services of generative AI companies in a similar light to buying in-game gold. Sure, you have in-game gold now, but if you can get away with buying gold, so can everyone else. The cost of items in the auction house rises, and since the developers (governments) put no reins on AI, eventually nothing… -
Re: Fallout 76 Inspired Interior Hero Asset (Dev)
Hi! To sacboi's point, you might want to tighten up the mesh shading of the environment using hard edges. Since it's textured using a trim atlas which was baked to a flat plane, the normal map is not compensating for any gradients in mesh shading. I would note that the of the shading of the hero asset in Unreal appears to… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (99)
Okay, Day 2! I made progress on the canisters and have been UVing some things here and there along the way. Minor changes, but I'm hoping tomorrow I'll do more re: the wires and affixing things to the frame. Overall I did another 2hrs of modeling today + 20mins or so of UVs. Here I have a wireframe as well^ Lastly, the… -
Re: Request for Honest Critique – Realism Assessment on Octane Product Render
Thank you for a detailed answer. The angle might look more natural with a camera without such a high focal length (under 100mm), and you're right about the HDRI/light setup. I think the fresnel falloff is what will make a huge difference in the reflections, because they are currently too sharp and fake because everything…
