Just looking for any tips or opinions here. In past when working with other artist, I usually try to just explain goals for the milestone, guiding principles, and then leave the artist alone so that they can have the joy of independence and creative freedom. This mostly doesn't seem to work except for with a few heroes. It…
I've been trying to correct some small imperfections in the normal map using Substance Painter, but every time I paint, small artifacts end up appearing (they look like small grey-ish dots). It's not immediate either; they take a while to show up and can be painted over, but they reappear regardless. Any idea what could be…

Dang, forgot WIP in the title... oh well. Working on a new interior environment (UDK). Primary goal (besides the usual "good portfolio piece") is lighting practice and zbrush fine-detailing practice, since I want to zbrush fine carving and engraving onto just about everything. Viking / Norse art was very notable in not…

Kevin has been an artist at Epic Games now for nearly 7 years. Not only has he worked on Unreal Tournament 3, the…
Hi everyone, I'm trying to understand environment art for games again. I've been away from it for a long time (like 10 years) doing visualization work, and the production pipeline for that is different, to say the least. I created this fan art of the church from Final Fantasy VII Remake to practice utilizing modular pieces…

I am thinking of making a model of a gun for a game for my job search demo reel. When I look at some of the highly rated works on ArtStation, it looks like they use several 4k textures on one gun, or excessive polygon counts for a game model. Certainly, if I use a lot of 4K textures and a high polygon count, the quality…
As you can clearly see form the image, this is still a work in progress. I wanted to ask you for critiques on certain points before continuing further. I do have a list of questions, but absolutely don't feel restricted by them. If you want to adress other topics feel free to do so : ) 1: Do the proportions feel correct? I…
