Re: Photorealistic lamppost scene
Try to add some details to the post Dents from bubbles during production Side seam Connections look a bit flimsy. I would add dead insects. Usually there are a lot of them. Move dirt to the lowest part. Raindrops hit sides more often and with higher energy. Also drops lose their velocity as they go down the spherical… -
Re: Need help with weapon measurements clarification (Mossberg 590A1)
@Lemenus when modeling firearms you usually start with the cartridge because that gives you the diameter of the barrel and from there you can extrapolate most dimensions. For Mossberg 590A1, it's 12-gauge so I looked up the bore diameter for that and another search gave me the outer barrel diameter as well. Knowing the… -
Re: LOW-POLY ART
These are from a weekend project earlier in the month that I made to try out the #256fes challenge specifications (256 triangles, 256x256 texture, usually a character). I found it really fun to problem solve within such a small budget, and to balance versatility of the trimsheet with geometry efficiency. I posted some… -
Re: Really scalable substances in SD?
By scale I mean for example making smaller bricks or a bit squeezed/stretched ones for clamped brick wall material. So yes scale in UV space. in all involved patterns and noises in sync. Otherwise you mess the nature of details. It looks totally different , never same realistic if you scale just X Y in brick input pattern… -
Re: Simple, artist friendly version control?
VCS: A version control system has it roots in programming.. when multiple people work on several text files any changes on the same file will be "overwritten" by the last one who changes this. So in a VCS everyone has an own version which then are tried to merge.. if there are changes in different location of a text file… -
Re: Handling Chamfers in the UV's
Like said, it depends, especially for the chamfers. Do you need cuts for normal maps because of hard edges? What's more visible? How much distortion and size scale changes are you willing to deal with? Personally, I'd probably do something like this: "a" can be straightened out without any distortion, the inner and outer… -
Re: Struggling to Create High-Quality Grass for UE5 – Need Help Before I Go Insane
Agree, also any normal map on the grass does nothing good IMO. Looks awful usually and mips out suddenly. The main issue is how to make it seamless to ground 2d grass material when 3d disappears. A huge part of grass appearance is light scattering / translucency when you see the grass glow toward the sun . it's usually a… -
How can I make powerlines?
I am trying to model a transmission tower and I want to make these powerlines using a transparent texture. Am I going to need a bunch of line segments in the plane for the texture to work because the image is stretching? I want this model to be used in a game engine so I don't want much polygons on the powerlines. I… -
Re: The Dream I Had Between Noon And 12:30pm Today
Vig: You can drift into a dream within seconds so unless you don't sleep at all you're sleeping long enough. Recurring dreams? Oh, yeah. Loads of 'em. Of course there are the "nude in public" ones, where I dream I'm wearing just what I wore when I went to bed and am in a public place, having to sneak home. From what I read… -
Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
Its very strange phrasing to say that one is a 'fan' of historical cultures. You're not - you find the aesthetics as presented by (usually modern) art appealing.
