Interesting, and works pretty well. Is this simply a reflection or some form of material capture (MatCap)? I guess at some level, that's probably the same. If the example Botz tiles are consistent enough, you might be able to get a proper MatCap of it by approximating a 3D model of the tile. Or maybe the edge regions are…
Brad : this Uv transfer thing has been available in Max and Maya for a couple years now, it's a bit sad that many users don't know about it (even at pro level) To reiterate what Podman pointed out : So let's say you have an object with messy UVs, let's call it objectA. Make a copy of this mesh, called objectB, and give it…
Recently I've been revisiting the texture naming convention currently in use, and I'm at a bit of a crossroads. While this has barely any impact on the end user (modding/asset extraction aside), it has a huge impact on UX. Currently used naming scheme allows for quick identification while consisting of only three…
Hi there so I got this question and bare with me if the answer is so obvious. Just I like to make sure or see if there is something else I should keep in mind for the future. I'm full of questions and get better understand of the pipeline :) So I finish following this tutorial of this model that turned out well. Now I like…
I think it depends what you want to do. Game art and motion design are quite different. Working in games and film also seems to be different, especially in terms permanent employment / length of gigs. Of course there is always the "learn on your own option" and the pro's and con's have been discussed aplenty, so I won't go…
