Level design and whitebox…
Hey all, I was wondering if there are any comprehensive guides on creating game level environments from start to finish? I'm pretty brand new to the subject and it's techniques. Here's some examples of the kind of environments I'm hoping to make,…

As we move to that ever higher polycount it seems that some companies have a problem keeping up. So often i have seen some lovely character concepts, with style and feeling but with very little detail and much too much room for interpritation being used to help the hapless character artist make that 2 million poly…
I think the process that he describes goes like this: 1. Render out a basic skylight image of your object - Example 2. Delete the skylight from your scene. Apply a material that has a high specular to your object. Through Render Elements get an image of your spec highlights - Example 3. Take the two images into photoshop…
The first thing that jumps out at me when looking at this is that it doesn't seem like there's underlying structure in this guy's face. The general landmarks are there -- eyes, nose, mouth, etc. -- but there's no indication of bones and general structure below the surface to hold them in place. Everything seems to flow…
Hello. I'm learning 3D modeling. Unfortunately, I have
a problem and I don't know how to fix it. Designs a mug. If I have a flat object, I project it
onto surfaces and I extrude it. Example: But if I have a 3d object I can't do that. How can I bend an object on a cylinder. Thingiverse example: Can it be done in some…
@Alex_J Thank you very much for your quick response! True, grouping by type can be considered redundant given that the computer is already good at doing this on its own. However, grouping by “use” does make some sense. Rather than use, the appropriate word would be category. We can create models that we usually find in…
This is looking nice so far! I think it's lacking a bit in lighting and composition. You could add some drama with backlighting from the sun, which would really show off those colored caustics. A little DOF would be nice too. Also the boardgame edge is perfectly straight and even, as is the paper under it. Real world items…
It actually depends on what your target is. This concept art is from a videogame, and given the size of the object it would never require that many texture sets, even if it was a hero prop game asset. If it was for a vfx it might be acceptable for very high detailed closeups. As a game prop I would imagine the lead to ask…
