Re: Metal Specular Maps - Your Methods
[ QUOTE ] We actually have a program that lets you paint on it to "comb" the surface, i'de show some examples but its all NDA stuff, sorry. [/ QUOTE ] So do you have an example then where the direction does change direction? This one looks like it's just following the blurred black and white noise around a horizontal axis… -
Re: Most Efficient Way to Render Ready Game Models
Maybe a bit offtopic and i do not want to rant: Isn't this exactly "the problem" also in other areas (even other "industries") ? "The industry" does not define clear standards (and also the management fires everyone doing the real work).. So not only the newbies does not know what to put into their portfolio but also the… -
Re: Current Industry Standard workflow for 3D artists??
To echo some of the above : - Be excellent at creating highpoly models, both sculpted and as manually crafted geo - Be excellent at creating ingame meshes - Be excellent at UVs and baking. - Also pick a 3D CAD software like Fusion, Moi3D or Plasticity. And then things will vary from one project to another. Honestly not… -
Re: portfolios with in-game engine assets
Thanks EarthQuake I am not trying to diss on Marmoset or dDo I do love them both. I am however creating small scenes at the moment (with UDK & Cryengine) with different ideas for my portfolio and I would like to see some examples. For example single assets I will use marmoset & dDo but I also want to show them inside the… -
Re: Lighting Artist
Take all the following with a grain of salt, but here's my feedback from my short moonlighting career as a lighting artist: Its becoming more common with this generation of game development. It'll probably be even more so in the next generation. It's often not just a 'place and tweak lights' job though, as often you'll be… -
Re: Recent graduate-Portfolio Site
In a rare moment where I disagree with Pior, I have to say that is a pretty bad example of lighting and rendering. The shadows are all washed out and uniform, it makes it hard to see exactly what's going on. Looks like a ZBrush screen grab, which in general is not great for showing off modelling skills, unless you spend a… -
Re: Necessary budget for building a PC to become a 3D Game Character Artist
It's absolutely not necessary to go buy a giant workstation to make 3d models and hasn't been since about 2008. You can probably do the work you need to do on that machine quite comfortably - I used a worse one when I was working on first party PS4 titles. You may want more ram for zbrush but in general I'd suggest not… -
Re: Blender, Normal Mapping Artifacts, SuperPNG
Sweet! I think one thing that would improve it a ton is to bake some ambient occlusion. Here's an example of with vs. without. -
Marmoset 32bit baking problem
So ive come across a problem baking 32bit maps in marmoset. Im not 100% sure whats going on but it seems the colour profile of the psds are wrong. The files load in and appear much brighter than normal. Baking 8bit and 16bit is fine. 32bit exr bakes from xnormal for example work fine. examples below, Im hoping its… -
