Re: Beauty or Execution? Which one is better to ace as a Junior?
Not really. A book cover is a fundamentally different thing from the writing itself. Though I guess you could certainly have a great-looking 3d model that has super ugly wireframes, crazy terrible UVs, messy material structure, etc. But good-looking 3d art is more exclusive than well-formed but non-pretty 3D art. Harder to… -
Re: Unreal 5.8 Substrate Retroreflector Mat
This is really cool, love seeing shader efforts to replicate non-traditional surfaces like this! I wonder if you could leverage a clear coat layer to handle the shiny clear plastic cover? -
Re: Don’t use gamma on normal maps
In context of what was brought up in other thread it should be noted: Blender in particular makes the texture look pale when the image Color Space is set to "Non-color", but it will read correctly by the Normal Map node. It can get a little confusing because of that. -
AEON [First-Person Indie Horror]
Hi everyone, Here are some screenshots of a game I'm working on, currently in very early embryonic stage of development. Right now I'm setting up the world design and architecture for what may end up as a Amnesia style non-combat Science Fiction horror game. Name is very likely to change. Would love professional feedback… -
Re: Buying Perpetual "Substance" License
Steam version is non-transferable, as it falls under the software subscription version. I am looking for something compatible with the 'Directive 2009/24/EC Article 4(2) Case C-128/11 UsedSoft vs Oracle' if interested in the legal details. EU only, I know that it does not apply to any other location, but for my usage that… -
How are you actually handling AI-generated mesh cleanup before engine handoff?
Been integrating Meshy and Tripo outputs into UE5 pipelines for a while now and the generation step is no longer the problem — topology and textures come out reasonably usable for props and background assets. The problem is everything between export and the asset actually being in the project correctly. My current manual… -
Ngons, Aye or Nay ?
Hello Polycount As probably many of you since the day I've been learning to do 3D I was always told 'remember Ngons are bad, never use them" and I kept to this rule till now. So I'm mid way through the Ultimate Weapon Tutorial by Tim Bergholz and in his workflow I've noticed he uses quite number of ngons. So I'm trying to… -
Make Zbrush ignore NGONS and not auto fix them?
Does Zbrush have a setting where it ignores NGONS and just leaves them be? I don't want Zbrush to auto fix NGONs when importing and OBJ manually or through GOZ. Is there a setting in Zbrush called ignore NGONS or if encounter NGONS, do nothing. -

Shot 2 Shot 7, made the lighting darker to show more neon colours. Shot 8, made a node-based material for the background Shot 14a lighting and setdress, faked… -
VAELEN - DnD Real-Time 3D Character ***WIP***
Hi! I'm an artist in games with around 10 years of work experience. Always wanted to post here but never did. This is the initial costume design part of my work that was done some time ago almost all in Marvelous Designer. At this stage I like to use MD to sketch out outfit ideas and add my non-clothing items as 'trims'…
