Nice! What does the texture sheet look like? Is it just the color map or are there other maps? What texture resolution? I feel like there could be more material differentiation, wood vs leather vs metal. Right now they all have similar shading detail. But you could push the wood cracks & knots, vs. leather wrinkles &…
Another update for this week :) All images below are directly from Unreal Engine. Over the last couple of days I’ve been focusing heavily on refining details throughout the environment, especially terrain variation, material breakup, and overall cohesion. I’ve also been adjusting the horizon and surrounding landscape to…
That looks really sweet, love the detail in the scales and the color design. Looks like there might not be much variation in the roughness channel though? The scales seem very uniform in shininess, as if you might be relying on the normal map for all the reflection variation. Or maybe it is there, but just not enough…
I wanted to create a convincing safety reflector material for a future project. I spent a weekend toying around with it in the latest version of Unreal. Here is a description of how retroreflectors work: https://sky-lights.org/2020/08/10/qa-how-bicycle-reflectors-work/ These reflectors are cast in transparent plastic with…
Hello everyone! I'm very happy to share my latest project with you! It was quite a long journey, but it was also a lot of fun and seeing this character taking shape and life was definitely very satisfying! All the lighting, presentation and renders were done in Unreal Engine 5.6. I'm very happy that I can finally say that…
In last couple of months i saw a lot of YT videos and discussions all over the internet about AI stuff and its hard to land a job as 3d character artist. So what is there a final thought on that topic?
Ok after rechecking all my textures, mesh, etc. It seems that the problem was only because at some point I changed my UV position of the part behind my pants :# ... Sorry for wasting your time. And thanks for looking with me what could have gone wrong.
First of all, thank you so much for your reply! Those are really great questions, I'm basing it off a 2D concept art provided by a client actually, so I don't know much about the characters backstory except that they've been in fights and they're in a post apocaliptic setting. As for reference photos, this is one of the…
bejesus - didn't know some of you guy were still alive, I was thinking you were all old wizened men (and women - sorry demon princess) back in the dw days. I was never an uber pc community member, but I still remember drooling over B1ll's work (it was like Christmas every time he posted in WAYWO thread), chuckling at Ben…
Hello everyone! My partner and I have been all over the internet searching on how to create a decent looking Diamond within UDK. Everywhere that we've found the object is always rendered in Maya/Max/Blender etc. We saw the awesome glass tutorial found on Epic's site however, that only got us about 50% way there. So we…
