Re: Learning Zbrush - Begginer
So I made something like this, and I'm not happy with the result: I don't have any idea on how to do that more rough. Let me say to you, how I made this sculpt. You can say, what I'm doing wrong: 1. Base mesh in 3D Max. 2. Adding geometry in Zbrush ( ~2 mln poly/verts ) 3. Trim dynamic brush on edges. 4. Clay Tubes brush,… -
Re: TF2 CTF Decker Custom Map
Using the more advanced lighting options can definitely add to the filesize of the map, though in my experience it's only a few MB. If you go through and optimize your lightmap resolutions so that you use low-res ones on faces that don't have complex shadows on them (like small bits of trim), you can usually dramatically… -
Re: Updated Portfolio work-david bailey
You have too many materials in those ingame shots. Too many different metals, too many different kinds of horizontal flowing dark lines in them too etc. Its overkill, noisy, busy, cant focus, hard to read and see a grand design or idea behind it all... too random ...and so on. If you look at the last screenshot, you have 4… -
Re: best script for bevellling+ normal map question
the lowpoly should have as few smoothing groups as possible, like characters,the shading "errors" of the lowpoly will get "baked in" if your renderer is good enough (I'm assuming you're using max, so the renderer should be fine), so you may notice artefacts on the normalmap, but they are here to "fix" the shading "errors"… -
Re: How do you make the 3D pipeline less painful?
Interesting. What have you tried so far and for what parts of the workflow? Why didn't it work? -
Re: Sketchbook: stray
Trying to follow examples here and (re)start sculpting practice. It took a few tries to start getting more constistent torso shapes. But limbs are giving me serious trouble: -
Re: gamedev English
I wouldn't say it was all boys talks. The boss was a woman with phd in computer science actually. Now it looks like everyone asks chatGPT to reply. I do it sometimes too and always wonder why It always tries to neutral any graphic or expressive image in my text which IMO feels dull and lose its purpose. It's not that I… -
Fix lowpoly Shading
Hi guys. I have a question about shading. I need to use a low-poly model and set up shading on it in such a way as to preserve the sharp corners on the model's border, but I can't do it correctly. I tried to use the Data Transfer modifier to solve this problem, but you can see its results on the middle model. Tell me how… -
Re: My 3D Environment Artist Portfolio is Finished. Feedback?
Texel density can be controlled (and mostly is) via your UVs in your modeling program. May help to check out how you can analyze texel density in Unreal using performance/troubleshooting visualizers in the viewport. Obviously be aware that if you're using multiple different texture sizes, the uv's must respect that as… -
Re: Looking for a portfolio review/critiques
I'm seeing all the same issues with your port from last time you posted it. Did you make some meaningful changes since? Reposting for posterity - "You've got some cool work and then some okay work. Out of all of it, the banjo felt strongest. I feel like you'd be in a better position if you trimmed out all the quick…
