Re: Unreal 5
Just wanted to say thank you all for chiming in on the state of things. It was nice to read through everyone's posts from many devs that I know have been in this game for an exceptionally long haul. Optimization is king, and while I look forward to what UE5 will bring, I'm happy to wait a year or two until an actual game… -
Good looking grass viewed from above?
Here is an interesting question I hope polycounters can shed some light on: - How do you make grass field and grass props that looks good when viewed from 45~90 deg?

Re: 8 hours per day is good for be a great artist and improve skills?
Well it's all relative, if 8hrs is your benchmark of artistic devotion per day plus 1hr set aside for doing something else...all good.

Re: XBOX SCORPIO
ok so scorpio is only any benefit if you have a 4K tv (still I really doubt that it will run stuff well in actual 4k). even xbox one s will run 4k media but not games. Heres the actual interview for anyone interested. I guess this means that devs wont have to make 2 or 3 versions of the same game which is good for devs I… -
Re: HELP:Getting Started

Reply by Kumator · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Creative Contest 2017› Riot Creative Contest 2017 - Environment Art@NBerbatov Thanks mate! @Svartberg Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it dude :) I receive useful feedback from my peers about the den, I'll have to polish it at some point (probably after the turret is done). Also, I'd like to do a floor texture around the den to better blend the geometry. About the turret, I decided to… -
Re: LV394 - Prometheus/Alien Inspired Environment - WIP
There's much left to do, but this is what I've gotten so far done! I think it's coming along nicely but I can def improve on a lot. I scrupled and tweaked the materials for each asset. It's not exactly what I had imagined, but as I worked I took the idea and made it my own. I will return and make adjustments and improve it…
