I need a refresher! 8th Gen Environment Art Pipelines/Workflows/Techniques
I'm an environment artist, and I started my professional career during last gen where the asset creation pipeline was pretty straight forward and revolved around the following: - Props with unique diffuse/spec/normal textures, all within 0-1 UV space. - Tileable textures with or without vertex color blends (and blend maps)… -

Re: [Portfolio] Ibrahim Wahab - 3D Artist
I would say to change the title in the header to something a little less generalist. Even if you don't want to limit job opportunities by saying specifically 'environment artist', it's worth putting 'game artist' at the very least. At least your page seems neat enough and your url decent, certainly better than I can say… -
Re: Game character production pipeline
Stylized characters. Like from dota2, league of legends or skyrim. Being able to do any of those would be good. My modeling experience so far is one year in "3ds max" where I was doing house models, some game assets like weapons etc. Also some basic animation and rigging. I wasnt doing any organic models before. I got… -
Re: Zbrush Sculpting Practice
After some internet problems I can update to polycount again, if only to show the end of this particular segment. I posed the sculpt using Transpose Master's Zsphere rig capabilities. The base mesh was duplicated so that both characters could be posed. The sitting character only serves as a guide; used to solidify the pose… -
Re: Hand Painting Obsidian Texture in Photoshop. NEED HELP
Diffuse = midtones Specular = highlights Normal = shadows that's generally the way I look at it... it's more complicated than that of course, but... yeah. diffuse is the natural color of the surface if everything was evenly lit... most everything should be in the same or similar value as to not compete with the lighting of… -
Re: [FOLIAGE] ~ My fourth attempt at making trees, I'd use some critique and advice...
I feel like you're shooting down everyone's help and suggestions, again. You don't need a tutorial that shows you exactly how to do the exact thing you need. Techniques apply to all things; learn the technique, learn how to tweak it, and make it work for you and your needs. Experiment. I happen to know 100% that there are… -

Re: Interesting Talk on the Death Of Consoles
I think I may have a miscommunicated the term "tablet" what I mean by tablets are ipads and android tablets, not pen enabled tablet PCs (is that what you are talking about? are those still being made?). From the Applestore cheapest macbook air is starting at $999 the new ipad $499, Googles upcoming Nexus tablet is rumored… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
I think a lot of the people who figure that pure diffuse is a thing of the past, and therefore don't ever bother learning it, fall flat on their faces. It's pretty hard to make good next-gen (for whatever that word is worth) models and textures if you can't paint a decent diffuse map. So I wouldn't say any is easier to…
