I was reading through the thread, writing up my response in my head, thinking all about gamma-correct lighting and dielectric materials, and lo and behold jeffdr posts it for me :) But yeah, to reiterate: the bad tinting you get with a neutral coloured spec is due to doing your lighting in a non-gamma corrected way. Get…
Hello everyone! I'm about to finish my Bachelors studies in game design, and for my final project I created a game-ready environment. I set out to create different models and textures to create an asset set which could be used for building the whole environment in Unreal Engine. My idea for the environment was to build a…
Hey doc rob, Your argument is a fair one. However, there's more to it than convenient work flow. The main reason I think this technique will end up being common in console game development is because of the memory savings. With a derivative map you don't save anything on the texture but you do save 14% on the vertices.…
Zork, I played it last week for the first time, totally stupid, talk about your ancient story telling techniques and outdated graphics... pfftt what a waste. For me it was a continuation to a revolutionary game. You also have to drop yourself back a few years, considering that the graphics still more or less hold up is a…
The brake calipers were pretty difficult to model, but it was very worth it in the end - to put in extra time and effort I think. :) Rear wheel calipers: Front wheel calipers: Wireframes and turntables can be found on my artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Nq8qab
Hello ! Well, Substance Painter will never be the actual target environment for the model to be displayed in - an actual game engine will be. Hence I personally see no point in giving *any* attention to the way things shade in Substance Painter (outside of making sure that the generators behave as intended). In other…
so i bought this addon for Blender to retopo marvelous designer cloth. it works quite well, still a pain to go through it, but the end result is what is required, ie a clean retopo'd verision of your dense triangualted cloth mesh failry cheap for personal use anyway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgX0uwVjvKs it has a few…
Stop doing weapons , there are mil or more people on planet Earth , former school students who wants to make games and start with either weapons or robots. Even if you find that job it would be like Ch. Chaplin in Modern times . Nobody looks at portfolios nowadays , with generative AI it could be anything and they are…
OPTIMUS PRIME, alternate form. I ended up taking a lot of inspiration from Armada for the truck form, but beyond that it's nothing ground-breaking. I will say the G1 packaging license plate *was* going to be a placeholder, but I kinda like how goofily it stands out if you look for it--it's just silly enough, IMO.
