Thanks @teodar23 -------------------------- I was working on a gray box level for a couple of underground corridors which give access to various machines control rooms. I started working on the base meshes for one of them and also trying to figure out scale and color schemes. I was hoping to have this textured with trim…
Don't know the knot, make a lot. Working on the crown, I made a bunch of modular pieces for an insert mesh brush and just go crazy with it. I keep the jewels and any pieces that need separate material properties as different subtool, that way I can bake them into an ID map for ease of texturing later. All the gold parts I…
You actually don't have to buy a specialized desk to work standing up. You can use shelving systems combines with drawer slides to create a modular system that you can adjust to a comfortable working height. I'm planning on doing this for my own workspace soon since I spend way too many hours sitting on my ass, which I'm…
Finally done! By far and away the largest and most time-consuming project that I've ever attempted. At some point in the future, I'll do either this kit over again or some other modular kit. For that project, there will definitely be some stuff that I do differently. Larger texture atlases with more pieces for a fewer…
@Danr thanks, I know they go on the inside, but I was looking to add some interest to the building and create an additional light source @Addieo I'm not a huge fan of crazyBump, its just what we were shown at school and I just didnt actively look for a different program, I'll for sure be checking this out. And I mean the…
Yeah I loved 2008 and 2009. After that I had to work in maya. Now I try to go back to 2012 max and I'm pulling my hair out. I didn't know about selection floater. Will have to check it out! Thanks! It just gets messy with 50 different modular objects in the scene and having to open the (H) menu (which hangs for a few…
I find the background a bit distracting. I'm a minimalistic person so I'd stick with one style in the folio and stay with it. Have you considered tossing wix and just using artstation? Ive never heard good things from wix in general. Especially since it promotes itself on your website. Very hard to read some of the text on…
As someone new, could you expand on the difference between Level Design and Environment Art. Personally I want to create the level ART. I.e. the assets, textures, the composition of those elements, and extending further into colour correction and lighting. Does that fall into either category? As for the original post,…
The poly-mirror did not work as expected in-engine, even though in Maya it seemed to. I have adjusted my modularity methodology, to model half of the HP, poly-mirror, and then make the LP based on the combined mirror. Then bake the normals from that. The first test has worked well. I am very pleased with the in-game…
Long time without posting anything on here so thought I should start posting again :) I finished the character a while ago but recently made some changes to the proportions of everything and got some renders in Keyshot, I think it's looking much better with the new changes! :) I've also been working on my final year group…
