UPDATE: Okay so, I believe I know what the problem is. For some reason, the model for the hat is ungodly far away from the origin point when viewed by itself in the Model Viewer. However, if I try to move the model in Blender (the program I use) it moves away from the correct position on the Engineer's head. Does know of…

Hey, So, like most game artists out there at the minute I've been looking into the whole PBR thing and Unreal4. There seem to be 2 different methods I've seen so far and I'm wondering which is the best to use and when. Firstly, I've seen objects with texture sheets laid out pretty much as they have been for donkeys years.…
I currently have a 95% finished environment concept which can be seen here: http://imgur.com/3ZQqyW8 (I'll provide a MUCH higher res PSD). It's of a map in our game development project. The original artist and I are having trouble getting the grass right so we thought hiring multiple people to try it would be a good idea.…
Hello, I have just started getting into 3D and have some questions that I hope somebody will be able to answer. (they might be realy stupid but please be nice T.T) So i've noticed that in games, surfaces seem to be very jagged, for example a circle is never really circular. I understand that it would create a very dense…
Hey guys, I decided to make a skins based on the 1980's PC's and low tech electronics. Think of the Aliens movie's for instance. They used a Lo Fi Sci-Fi future setting wich still looked pretty damn 80's (example below) We often think of the 80's as a neon rollercoaster wich is the obvious choice in my eyes (its not a bad…
Good day everyone I can see that people here are really great 3D artists and 3D modelers and Im actually writing this because Im searching for people like you. Me and for now small group of people are working on non-profit Indie game with setting in the Slavic middle ages, RPG with deep cultural, mythological, different…
I do 95% of my texturing in zbrush PP. I tend to clean it up and composite in Photoshop. When I am doing one of my attempts at photoreal portraits, for example, I tend to have several duplicate heads in the same ztool. I will paint something like mascara as total black on total white. Then bring that in as a mask into…
IME the process does change, quite a bit. Your example shows a single tiling bark texture. But with a packed/atlas texture, I need to carefully lay out my UVs to isolate them, so the trunk mesh only uses the bark area in my texture, and doesn't overlap the leaves part. The non-repeated trunk-base texture also needs its own…
Here are the major things that stuck out to me: You have some area's where it looks like you have alot of edge loops that doesn't seem to do much. An example is the awning. Another example is the brick wall. I think you're trying to have some exposed brick, but it looks like it could use a bit of cleanup with the edges.…
