Re: Smoothing Groups LODs Chamfer Normals Maps
One of my favorite aspects of using object space, is that normals will work perfectly on your LOD models, regardless of how terribly you hack them up. If quality normals on LODs are a huge priority in your project, using more smoothing groups, and planing very carefully where you place them(to ensure you can do the same… -
Re: [Game] Blood, Sweat, Gold -- modular character system + environment
A handmade prototype terrain with three biomes. Before we implement my content into the procedural system, we got to get things running decent enough for older machines to handle it. Here is a muskeg type of area. Old growth forest: Small spruce forest: Not a ton of logic in placement at the moment, this is just about… -
Re: UDK Physically Based Lighting!
This thread started with an old version of Unreal, before they had PBR workflow. But nowadays, all the game engines use PBR by default. So no need for all these workarounds. What exactly do you want to achieve? -
Floating island environment
Hello! I'm just getting started with a 6 day project. The goal is to make a small, grassy 3D environment island with a couple of things on it; an old stone wall, a burnt patch of ground, a small burnt tree, an open chest filled with gold coins and maybe some old stone arches and a stone pathway. I will keep the polycount… -
Re: How long have you been unemployed? + Rant
You know, this summer I unironically considered signing a contract with russian military. What? 50/50 chance I can zero my comrades and cross the front to join the proper side in a paid living I might actually enjoy. Odds much less with LinkedIn. This is your brain on CG. This is how psychotic you get when your craft of… -
PBR grass vs asphalt albedo/base color value?
Does anyone know why basically any base color/albedo gude says asphalts including old/worn ones base color should be darker than any random grass/ foliage albedo and yet I see it every day that a grass is usually darker through a day until late afternoon at least toward the sun only where we se lots of grass translucency/… -
Re: [FINISHED] Soaring Seas - The Floating Town of Little Neptune
Took a stab at a kiosk, which turned out a bit... well it'll receive a second pass. Also gave the floor a once-over and swapped out the old paving for a more flowing design that follows the map more smoothly - it still reads a little flat, so I'm gonna have to pump in some more stones both in the middle and sides of the… -
Re: Greek Mythology
at least zeus learned to stop eating his children!!! I think I want to do something more environment based though :s I have moved on my research to Tartarus (basically the 9th circle of hell where the titans where imprisoned) or do you recon that a simple idea is fine as long as it fulfills the purpose? because there is… -
Re: Zbrush: Mode locked behind draw - can't edit.
That's a conversation more than three years old at this point, though I would still maintain that the behavior they are describing was not odd as it falls completely in line with how the program is designed to operate. You may think the design itself is odd or quirky and that is perfectly fair and understandable, but the… -
Skin Folds Topology In Topogun
Hey everybody, I new to the whole sculpting thing (came from efx) and I'd like to know how do you retopo skin folds, especially those that fold in on themselves. Where would I put the points? If I put them on top of the folds, won't that affect my geometry badly? Then again, I don't know if I can put them inside the…
