Re: How would you unwrap this?
It depends on what you need it to do: How big is it? Are you baking normal maps to it? Are you using tile textures or a trim sheet? Will the UVs be packed with other objects, Etc. All of these factors will change how you need to approach it. A few strategies that could be adapted to your specific needs: you can mix and… -
Re: My Year Long Trek
Finished re-painting the planks to all the stairways to match the new wooden style. The hand rails aren't quite done yet either but they will be tomorrow. There are so many assets made out of wood in my scene I figured I had to start breaking stuff up a bit more, so I added some metal trim. I'll probably go back and add… -
Re: Submarine-Game Room
Coming along nicely! The ubber grunge is working out pretty well. I'm not too sure about the wires, looks like you painted them on with a script? Which script did you use? If it was SoulBurns Spline painter script you can adjust the Spline steps to space out the verts so you don't get chunky jittery lines. You can also… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | September - October (98)
Could you show how another angle? I tried to make this one as well but got very frustrated interpreting the concept and dropped it :S -
Re: How would you organize / texture this model? (noob)
Assets of this size suffer greatly with unique textures, because you'd need a ridiculous size to mantain such texel density, so definitely you don't want use 8ks, probably not even 4k's on this. So, yes, definitely do take advantage of symmetrical/repeating elements (stack/mirror them as much as you can). However you've… -
Re: [UE4] Sci-Fi Morgue (now slightly NSFW)
Hey all, got an update. I decided to take @ParksMarks advice and redo the lighting a little, focusing on getting some colour in there and removing all of the point lights in favour of spot lights. I also made some adjustments to the scene, unifying the top trims with larger, more custom elements and building out a floor… -
Re: The Resistance
Ive made lots of changes, added a brick trim around the edges of the buildings to break up the sharp edge. Also added another trim to break up the repeating patterns as well as laying out more buildings. Ive finally done a very rough preview (since it takes bloody ages) lighting build, just a simple directional light,… -
Re: Abandoned Swamp House Environment - [UE4]
[SKETCHFAB]159adea17da346ff87ecfc9f3be98ae3[/SKETCHFAB] Here is a rock I made yesterday. I'm actually really happy with it. Spent some time going through the 'rock thread' and picked up some good tips. It's sculpted in ZBrush using mainly the Trim Dynamic and Trim Smooth Border brushes. I made a few custom rock alphas to… -
Re: What artistic skills to be learned for environment artists??
yea, composition and layout are critical, being able to look at the whole big picture and see where you need to strategically add detail and where you can save time. from a technical standpoint, get comfortable with using modular kits and re-using a ton of tiling and trim textures to build environments with a few core sets… -
Zbrush - TrimDynamic on edges seems to be inconsistent with it's behavior.
when I try to use the trim dynamic i'm getting this weird behavior. i just want it to be able to flatten out as i drag the brush. sometimes it works on some models and sometimes it doesn't. anyone have any idea on this?
