Re: Zbrush Zmapper.. POS? Get Normals into Max?
Umm, can we see your low-res game mesh, and your highest-res ZBrush mesh? I can't think of many situations where it'd be advantageous to bake the UV layout of the game-res mesh into the ZBrush low-res mesh. If your game-res mesh isn't matching up well enough to bake normals accurately, it sounds like it needs more work.… -
Re: what to work on as an enviromental artist
If you are applying for an 'Environment Artist' spot, you should have some examples of full scenes. Usually companies will differeniate between enviros and props artists in their listings, if they only want props builders. With full scenes, you should have experience building skys and have a good understanding of lighting,… -
Re: Color and Specular Maps
They do for sure, but a follow up would be couldn't I just use a red light on that Christmas ball to get the red glow? (assuming I'm using a black/white spec). edit: Although to answer my own question, I guess if I used a red light I'd have red on the background layout too (red indirect light bouncing off the ball too).… -
Re: 3ds max as a level editor
Create models in separate files, or grouped together in a file, whichever's easiest. Characters in separate files, props together, ground tiles together. Script tool creates proxy of a model, which we then merge and arrange into a master game layout file. Any objects that have behaviors or animation or any kind of change… -

Re: Looking for some general advice developing art pipeline for 2d props
I did some experimentation with affinity photo, but it has a bug since at least 2015 that makes work on my microsoft surface pro tablet basically unworkable. That might not be a problem on my desktop but I enjoy using my tablet for this work. Painstorm studio is pretty nice but the UI scaling is a problem on my laptop. As… -
Re: Sketchbook: Neil Gallagher (Littleclaude)
Lighting and volumetric fog imo looks good, really sets off those 'god rays' in particular quite nicely though the weeds / shrubbery sort of grid layout, purely as a matter of personal preference could be dispersed into random clumps which had initially drawn my eye away from, at a guess this scenes' primary compositional… -
Re: Problems baking with Marmoset Toolbag 3
The distortion happens because the face normals between this part and the connecting part represent a (likely) extreme change in normal direction. In this case, the bake projection direction will be averaged between the divergent directions, resulting in the baker looking at this area from a skewed angle. See the Baking… -
Re: Wood kit - Modular Approach
There's a number of ways to go about it and the best one to choose depends on your target platform and whether you want to lean towards minimising your texture memory or geometry footprint. Generally, if you're expecting to see hundreds of components from a set on screen at once then you need to lean towards minimising…
