Re: Sandy Outpost (WIP)
It feels empty at the moment: the sky/space only shows 1 planet, but everything else is empty space. The rocks feel scattered, which is fine, but not when they all isolated (but it feels lacking because there isn't much stuff in the scene) The rock material doesn't match the sand. (It's like the rock is made out of… -
Re: 64 pixel density per meter
Texel density depends on the scale of Uv islands inside the texture map so if island is bigger it will have more texel density thus being more detailed.Basically you can make a 1x1x1m cube and snap it to viewport grid and then apply the checker map I told you before,if the single 64x64 square matches the grid size on the… -
Re: Tileable texture, portfolio worthy?
"I was simply wondering because i see a lot of portfolios with single pieces like the ones i showed. Out of curiosity i was trying to find the level i needed to be at by getting some pieces critted. Simple as that." I see a lot of people starting out with 3D portfolios doing a gun and maybe a rock like you said, small… -
Re: Terrain Practice
This looks really nice! I would like to see some smaller scale rocks at the base of your large cliffs to give some scale and context to your scene - Also, any reason this appears so washed out? I like your rock textures a lot, one thing about the models themselves and their arrangement - You could REALLY push their… -
Re: Question about making or not making texture sheets for UT3
In my experience with the Source Engine, textures are a major factor in the performance of the game. It's starting to get to the point where things are no longer transform bound, but fill bound. If you can have more than one mesh on a single texture sheet then you're doing good. Say, a map you're working on has many… -
Ideas for artist tools
I'm sure we've all thought of tools, add-on, scripts, or seperate programs that would be cool to use to help create game art, I figured it'd be cool to have a place to share and discuss ideas, and maybe suggest things that already exist to people. Don't share any ideas that you don't want stolen, but any tech artists,… -
Help a noob
Hello polycount, I'm an art newbie and I've just started learning Zbrush. It's the first 3d software I've worked with and since I'm unfamiliar with most techniques used for sculpting, could you give me a hand in completing this 3d model for a project? By completing, I mean you point me in the right direction, maybe to the… -
[Zbrush] How do i sculpt this ?
Hi everyone, I'm currently planning a 3D environment that fuses the dramatic natural setting of Petra (Jordan) with the ornate and rich Levantine architectural style. The vision is to build a narrow canyon path that leads to a large, impressive mosque structure, with a bazaar carved into the sides of the canyon walls along… -
Re: Naming conventions and structure?
3DKnight is correct, we rarely directly share assets from one level to the next. Are levels are created so each one has a distinct feel and look to them. We globe trot a good amount so the rocks in Horse Chase should look different than the rocks in say Chateau which was based in France. With that said, we do often times… -
Going outdoors.
Ok, so I am going to start a little outdoor forest scene. It will include a few different trees and their variations, rock cliffs, some small voliage like tall grass and plants. I will also be adding some grass, rock and dirt textures for the ground. I feel these are pretty common items people would throw in a scene like…
