I think what loggie24 is trying to say is that when you supply the material with an AO map then you get all those nice little shadows on the material and it looks the way it's supposed to look like only when the material is in the shadows. As soon as the material is directly lit in a game engine the AO map doesn't have…
Hey Everyone, I'm looking to animate a few walk and run cycles and am looking for a speed to animate to. For those that work/have worked in games, could you give me a common Meters Per Second of distance traveled for a character? A heavy, slow-moving character usually walks at X meters per second and runs at X meters per…
Just curious since I've been here so very long besides color bleeding "possible issues", with what i will mention what other issues are there to it? When we where learning this stuff back in the day (& this also works for concepts) was work on it at any resolution & then scale it down by /2 sharpen [not over sharpen], & do…
This character Armor Set was created for New World: Aeternum in collaboration with Side for Amazon Games. Based on the provided concept, I owned the full character production pipeline — from high poly sculpt to final textured, game-ready asset. My responsibilities included: • High poly sculpting • Low poly modeling & clean…
Thanks, I really appreciate the detailed feedback! =)@Eric Chadwick You're absolutely right about the striations, that’s something I’ve been working on improving. My initial pass relied too much on surface noise, so now I’m focusing on introducing broader, more directional layering to better match sedimentary formation. I…
I'm working on a "remaster" of an old-school dungeon crawler called "Dragon Bane 2" as a personal project. The development is completed, but needs upgraded, static 3D models for two wall sets -- a town and a dungeon. The game can be played in either 2D mode or 3D mode, and the 2D artwork is completed, so the 3D art…
Good skin requires subsurface scattering. https://marmoset.co/posts/creating-realistic-skin-toolbag-saurabh-jethani/ I think you still don’t have a good understanding of the two main PBR workflows: metal-rough, and spec-gloss. I would suggest reading up on how these work. https://marmoset.co/posts/pbr-texture-conversion/…
There are a few too many variables here to give you a clear answer (such as, what engine will your work go into?). However, it seems like your biggest issues is that your spec/gloss values appear differently in Toolbag than other shaders, a very simple thing you can do is adjust the slider after you import. Gloss values…
Your topology is all wrong. There is no studio I know of that would accept this as a low res mesh. The flow isn't friendly to animation what so ever. i knwo you are far along, but you should really consider retopologizing this by hand. Zremesher is not for making final low poly meshes. It was made to make it so you didn't…
^ This :thumbup: I'm deep into studying PBR right now (just started reading seriously into PBR after discussing things on this thread) @Earthquake: Your response was everything I'd ask to hear. Thanks. Correct me if I'm wrong here: Speaking as someone deep into serious portfolio development, using the free UDK and the free…
