Hi! You could try with a heightmap and see how far you can take it. Could displace a mesh with it and sculpt details on top. But would be good to define the texture resolution first, so you don't spend time on details that don't show up. Here is a test.
I'd like some help from the community, if you have a minute! Could you bake normal maps from these models in the software you're familiar with? * 3ds Max [done] * Maya * Blender * Substance [done] * Toolbag * 3D-Coat * Cinema 4D * Houdini * Modo * Xnormal [done] * Knald * (others?) The intent is to show the baked result in…
those are nicer to use with the pen than the mouse imo. honestly though - your shortcut selection should be based on the work you do. eg. if you connect vertices a lot, learn where the default shortcut is and if you don't like it, change it.
If you see faceted shading on hi res you might beveled each edge first accidentally or give each edge a crease (shift+E) or you just have subdiv modifier in "simple" mode.
Ah yeah! I can definitely tell they are auto-packed. That is fine for some things, like if you're using a bunch of tiled textures on an object, however you really need to make sure that there is space for texture bleed in-between your shells. This is for LOD creation, which are frequently automated, having space for…
Do you mean you pack all the props into a single non-overlapped atlas uv layout? Why not pack these props all together before you start texturing? Also, what software are you currently using for each step?
Hi, I am looking for someone to build a low poly environment for a mobile 3D unity game, many prefabs and models will be provided. -setup lighting and visual effects to look like the Aquavias game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.krou.aqueducts -the game has 4 maps, 150$ each If you are interested send me…
You can generate normal from mask in PS and then combine it with car normal. Or model all the details on temporary mesh, properly bake to plane and combine using substance. Depends on what software you have and how much time you want to spend on it.
Don't let your school convince you that the majority of your skills wont be transferable between industries. In my portfolio, I made both game res and sub-d art. If you have a couple pieces of each, there's not really a reason why you couldn't switch back and forth; plenty of artists do that. Sometimes its easier to break…
