Re: How can I model this ruin?
For broken brick edges, you can model a section of broken wall and make it modular, then add individual bricks to break up the silhouette. For example, look at the roof tiles here https://polycount.com/discussion/91066/pirate-castle-udk/p1 -
Re: Portfolio stuff and beginners
It only really matters when you apply for a job. People don't care that you've done tutorials. But for a job portfolio your example pieces shouldn't include tutorial content. In general it's better to have examples of work that show that, not only do you have skills, but you're also creative. You want to demonstrate that… -
Re: 2014 Gamasutra Salary Survey
@SecretPro - Do you have examples of work you've done? This is assuming there will be no more advancements in games. Instead of hiring less people, why not keep the SAME amount of people and just build a world that's 3x as large or has more variety in props or has better animation, etc. If companies hired less people when… -
Re: Consistency in Design Between Multiple Artists
Documentation and references. You write things down as much as possible, and then include some visual examples (which you may just google, but be damn fucking sure they don't end up in the final product). For example, for the above image of AoE-Online you could note that all buildings look like they have been squeezed in… -
Re: Textures and Terrain - tiling and procedural texturing in UE3 and UDk
Still pretty new to UDK myself, so I can only offer a possibility to #1. Sounds like you just want to scale your texture down? Did you add a TexCoord expression into the UV Node? Although I don't really have any more answer for you, I'm going to save someone else the trouble of asking... Can you please post your… -
Re: Environment Artist Portfolio Feedback
Hi there! I really like your newest UE4 piece and I think getting some more solid examples of that level will help you land a job. I think you're well on your way. One thing you could do is re-render older pieces: for example, the typewriter renders stand out a lot. I'd say re-do those renders one with better lighting… -
Re: my FIRST game character
search and read some of the joint rotation threads here. for example the boot looks like it is bending the legs independently of the ankle as if the boot is snapping her shins. and the neck is bending the head backward impossibly giving a turtle like impression. Both examples from the extreme crouch pose. But these are… -
Re: 3ds Max/Zbrush: Proboolean + Dynamesh hardsurface workflow tutorial
Yes, staying in Max is a bit of a hack in comparison to dynamesh or a tool like meshfusion in modo, but dynamesh method is a little clunky I feel. Did you see the presentation at Zsummit 2014 showing this exact technique? Some nice examples plus the mask/project trick to clean up the inevitable dirty edges that dynamesh… -
Re: WIP- UE4 Statue Bathhouse
Technically the statues on the side are not the same as the one in the center, though they are very similar. Not a problem to take them out if they seem like overkill. I don't have a reference with both of the arches in the same scene but I have seen examples where there are 2 stories with different types of… -
Re: Modeling: Maya Vs. Max
Bevel has an apply setting, where it just keeps doing it every time you hit apply. I bevel once with a larger setting, then hit apply, and dial it down. It gives me rounded edges like those chamfer examples, but as long as I selected proper edge loops, none of that corner funkiness. Though truth be told I don't use it so…
