Re: Question about PBR
Great post, just a few things here that I think are important to clarify: Generally, what you're referring to is called a reflection occlusion mask, and whether you need one of these varies heavily on the engine (as you pointed out above), I think referring to it simply as occlusion is little confusing. Reflection… -
Re: realtime procedural textures
I said that procedurals would be less useful on characters. It's quite true that they could be used on characters, no problem at all. But I just imagine that most artists would wnat greater control over their character's paint jobs. A character is supposed to have...well...character! And using mathematically generated… -
Re: [first post :D] Space Hotel environment feedback 🚀🕷️
#Not an Environment artist. What stands out to me, and take this is with grainiest of salts but the floors and general colors are putting me off which was already mentioned so you got 2 stating this. 1st thoughts that put me off are, The curved walls, stair rail and the floor.

Re: Stuck: My Topology Journey Has Hit a Wall
@Gikkio Although there is some overlap in the basic art, observation, and problem solving skills required: concepting and subdivision modeling are different disciplines.

The romance of 'Next-Gen': Where is it?
This is a notion that is still fresh in my head, so I apologize now if its all over the place. I can remember being an eager developer 'wannabe' during the Playstation 2 & Xbox days when the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 were on the horizon.

M5 Stuart Progess thread

Re: Quixel SUITE - News
The 'gradient' is the normal map attempting to compensate for the smoothing on the low poly - so if you have a giant smoothing error across a flat surface, the normal map will cancel this out to give the impression of a flat surface. This works as long as the tangent basis is synchronised between your generator and viewer.…
