[UE4] Sci-fi Church
Hi, haven't done much work in a while and I feel like I'm lagging behind a bit with some of the newer stuff that's come about. Haven't used UE4 or Substance at all, so thought I'd take a stab at an UE4/Substance environment. Been reading some William Gibson stuff and he often has some cool far-flung religious stuff in… -
Re: Nightshade UV Editor (Maya)
Hello, My name is Martin ("Nightshade") and I'm the developer of NSUV. Nightshade UV Editor is NOT supported in Maya 2018 and later for the simple reason that I have stopped developing and maintaining it. The reasons for this is primarily that Autodesk acquired the UV features from me, and paid me to help them implement… -
Re: Considering Game Art Institute Environment Bootcamp
@Beton_Brut I get what you mean, when you say you don't want to spend your supposed to be working time on learning the processes behind things. I get it but it is part of the process, none of the time is wasted though. It just requires a bit of a change of thinking. Growing as an artist is just part of actually being an… -
Re: Motorcycles/Scooters, who here rides? Post a pic of your ride
Dave: Glad you agree with choice. I am willing to bet (large sum) that I have twenty to thirty riding miles minimum for every mile of the the person posting here than has ridden the most miles. Let's all post when we got our motorcycle license and how many miles we've ridden average per year. I'm quite familiar with the… -
Re: How do you cope with your school being a "Degree Mill"?
As others are saying, applying blame to them in any shape or form won't get you anywhere, I can surely understand the resentment because you likely spent a large sum on it and feel you didn't get much out of it. But ultimately, you were taking the classes, and you only get out what you put in. Most art programs, even… -
Re: primnull werks
Ok good, you're making progress. Here's the jist of padding - when you get further away from a prop in some engines, the texture (e.g. 2048²) will mipmap or "mip" down to 1024², 512², 256² etc. to save memory since you can't tell the difference between a 2k and a 256 texture at a certain distance (which of course depends… -
Re: do you ever feel like you wont catch up?
Every day. I've been doing this for 12+ years I think. I keep learning and adapting and growing as an Artist. The good thing is I look at my old work and see growth from what I'm doing now. So that's always promising. About 5 years ago I found myself in need of a job. I hadn't worked on my portfolio outside of work and it… -
Re: 3ds max baking rant thread
I think once again yiannisk has missed the entire point of the thread. I think I've summed it up before, but just to be really really clear: 3ds Max: * Has different tangent space calculations for the viewport and the scanline renderer * Uses scanline renderer to bake normals, therefore display is always incorrect when… -
Re: Unwanted Criticism
Mrskullface: The satellite soda rules post sounds amazing. I should start posting art over there. Thread: IMO, The macho toughguy ruff critz attitude is toxic. It also promotes a very technician minded attitude -- that there are mechanical, cut and dry solutions to an individual artist's problems, and that they have made a… -
Re: Decal technique from Star Citizen
Yeah, exactly! And it's pretty simple to set up if you have a clear idea of how exactly you want your shader to interpret that packed map. Makes it really easy to iterate on stuff too - instead of editing textures, you just drag sliders until you're satisfied with results. Basically, my approach is like having a tiny, tiny…
