Re: Fast Attack Vehicle - mini environment WIP
thanks JohnathanF! After GDC I got a lot of good feedback on this set up and later one for my portfolio I will b showcasing this asset not in an environment but just by itself. The tent was a big part of t. Too distracting and taking away from the FAV itself. I'll be re using some of the small assets form this scene in the… -
Re: WIP - Thompson model of 1921
I feel like the indented screw on the buttstock doesnt need to be in the LP geometry. A normal + AO bake should cover it just fine, and simplify your LP topology which is a huge help when UVing. poly density and tricount are definitely very high. If youre going for a showcase model then its fine but for a first person gun… -
Re: Question About Software Used in Game Art Portfolios
As a student living paycheck to paycheck - Use a free engine like UE4 or Unity. Marmoset is quick to display nice results, and i find it easier to set up, but I don't think you lose out by learning to do it in something like UE4. The downside is that if you want to showcase your high poly, you won't want to do that… -
Re: explosion particle effects
Those explosions (at least the growing fireballs) look like they're using the fancypants dx11 technique nvidia described in a paper a while back, using tessellation and displacement, pyroclastic noise, and raymarching. Unity showed off the technique working in realtime in the realtime short movie they showcased at Unite… -
Re: marvelous designer 2
Ravenslayer did you put a seam on the sleeve, looks like it's open:) if you want to make that dress a bit higher res you can change the particle distance from 20 to 5 I must say the docs are abit lacking and the tut's just seeem to do a lot of showcasing rather than step by step but yeah this image wasn't too bad, but as… -
Re: A question about creating hair for games
depending on just how realtime optimized or not your scene needs to be it may be feasible to create hair with the standard toolsets for this. one of epic's unreal engine demo characters - appears to be covered mostly in geometry, including the peach-fuzz: from:… -
Re: Sketchbook: Nick Shardlow
Hey! I'm really glad to see that you're showcasing your work for people to see, it's looking fantastic as usual. I like the Nordic-Inuit hybrid theme you've got going, will be very interesting to follow along! Love the character concepts, wish you'd have numbered the silhouettes though ;) Just a thought with regards to the… -
Re: What is (or was) your biggest problem or obstacle in becoming CG artist?
Sorry to hijack this thread with a question, but to those that are struggling to finish work... At which point do you hit a wall? Is it during the modelling stage, when you reach UV work?, problems with texturing or materials?, etc? Is it a presentation thing, not knowing how best to showcase the work? Is it is simply a… -
Re: Paragon's WIP Thread
What happened to the mountain scene ? Was looking good. The new environment looks cool. However your arches on the 2nd sceenshot are very flat at their tops and on the ref they have a nice curve. You need to add a reflective floor ind UDK. On the last screenshot everything looks very straight. Take few chairs and twist… -
Re: Tangent Space Confusion
Awesome post! And a great lecturer, I like his style a lot. Your description of the issue sounds good to me, I will correct the wiki on this. As an aside, I wonder if the >1 result of pushing beyond 255 has anything to do with HDR rendering, like Valve showcased in their Half-Life 2 Lost Coast level? Bright values can be…
