Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Great work in progress, keep at it! Currently it feels like all your props and assets are made of 1 piece and are a similar colour. I know you're going for a frozen aesthetic. I really recommend you look at some reference on how frozen assets look. Usually they still read clearly, maybe have some snow/ice on it. Here a… -
Re: Low poly baking issues (NEW)
Hi! Here is a thread on the topic: https://polycount.com/discussion/81154/understanding-averaged-normals-and-ray-projection-who-put-waviness-in-my-normal-map/p1 Edit: Here is a quick test with a shape similar to your example, trying to illustrate the subject. Geometry is identical, but with example A, I transferred the… -
Re: Dota 2 workshop monthly unnoficial competition - August
@Gamer_Alien; As I said earlier, your dota 2 player approach is flawed because item votes aren't only voted by how good they are, but how popular the hero that such item is made for. Simple examples are a good Drow/Lina item will easily beat an amazing Enchantress item any day (that example might not be correct but just as… -
Re: Limb Deformations
I might not be a expert on this but I disagree. Intersecting geometry should be generally avoided. The gif example is actually just very badly build (sorry poop ). You need to build it like a 'X' but with the side that gets compressed more a bit bigger. It also needs ~10% weight on the vertexes on opposide side of the bone… -
[FILLED] Technical Artist Needed — Custom Shaders & Volume Profile Template Creation
Hello, I am an indie game developer working on a first-person 3D narrative game (mid-poly, atmospheric/stylized — not photorealistic) built in Unity 6 URP. The game spans five distinct environments ranging from warm domestic interiors to cold institutional facilities to overcast outdoor settings. The same room geometry is… -
Re: Artifacts while baking AO.
Hey! Took a look at the file and the first thing I would note, is that the UVs are not good enough. This loop for example occupies only a few pixels - a bad bake is inevitable: Second note would be that the model is currently not very optimized. Lots of geometry that doesn't contribute to shape and shading. Some general… -
Fur and Grass Color and Normal Maps from Scans
I've had a bit of time to start playing around with normal maps again. Full disclosure, I run the Surface Mimic site, but I'd appreciate some help gauging the usefulness of matched color and normal maps, maybe even ones that tile. Normal maps are excellent for some surfaces that displacement maps can't easily handle. These… -
Re: Is it possible to get a good bake without support loops?
This is really just a practical example, this model itself isn’t used for anything. I usually work on low-resource video games where the mesh has to be heavily optimized, which is why avoiding support loops gives us a big advantage. Sometimes my models can be seen in first person, and that’s where the main problems… -
Re: what's the approval process like when working on game assets?
I guess it depends on the studio and on the project. I've had a few different situations. Sometimes its just a matter of here's the concept and budget (tri count, texture sizes etc) and examples of already completed assets, you just get on with it and when you're done show the lead artist / art director. Sometimes I end up… -
Re: [Chivalry] Agatha Knight Holy Knight Set
Well the historical helmets,the surviving examples at least were designed for the most part fort protection and most embellishments were mostly on the surface and didn't give the person wearing the armor a disadvantage. For example the helmet made for the Hound Set,has that distinct coned front,because at the angle it was…
