Hey everyone, I’m starting a WIP thread for a hero environment prop I’m building for my MA Game Art “Developing Skills” unit and my portfolio. 🔧 Project goal I’m basing this on the “Blast Furnace and Blacksmithing Equipment” concept from Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Creative Uncut link):…
Hey everyone! I’m calling this environment finished now. =) This project started out as a simple idea but turned into a really fun deep dive into lighting, fog, mood, and scene readability. I learned a lot along the way, especially with Unreal’s exposure settings and how to shape a dark scene without losing clarity. Since…
- in the first image my eye is drawn to the chimney because it’s the most colorful and saturated thing in the scene, and everything else is flat and mute. The lighting is flat and it’s all in a neutral tonal range, nothing stands out as a focal point or point of interest. - the car angle is too straight on, and creates…
I think your lighting is really blown out. Maybe drop the volumetric scattering in the directional light or the fog density, and decrease the directional light overall. If the scene becomes too dark, increase the skylight intensity. It's currently a bit difficult to read details in your scene. I'd also suggest to iron out…
I think one of the biggest issues for me is that there is a general lack of a focal point in the image. It almost looks like two panels of a series of images. You've got the two strong focal points via the lighting, which others have brought up so I won't rehash, but neither focal point seem to convey a congruent story…
I installed it over 1.0 in the default location as a patch. Also Photoshop cc 64 is installed in the default location. To me if I reduce the gloss setting it seems proper then. Noob Question : Does changing settings in 3DO actually causes changes in the maps or is it simply a viewer?? I will try a reinstall when I get to a…
@thomasp Honestly you seem to have been pretty consistent with your mindset and not at all confusing ;) The three buttons seem to vary in consistency as Wacom isnt very consistent with how tough they are to press so I may just be very unlucky. The third button though is fantastic for a multi display setup as I have it…
