I've been posting these in a sketchbook thread but decided to put them here for easier viewing. I recently participated in an event called "March of robots", where artists attempt to make a robot everyday either for fun or experience. All robots are exploratory speed models made in Sketchup, UV unwrapped in 3dsmax, and…
Just some various technical questions regarding modular sets and best optimized practices. - how many materials is too much for a modular set? Lets say a city building? I currently have 1 trim material (thats doing most of the work), 2 tiling materials, 1 unique bake for intricate details/sculpted pieces. I believe that's…
I've been using SP2.5 for ages now... and just recently it's turned around to me and started messing with my baking... I'm getting this issue when I bake my normal maps on hard edges it's almost like my UV islands weren't split... or to better explain it if I bake a simple cube, all my edges come out looking like Average…
Hello Summoners, To begin this topic, i would like to say this is my first attempt on a contest. I'm also very new to VFX in general as i've been really intrested in this only 2 weeks ago, i've been messing arround enough with all the tool that gave me Unity and decided it was time to work on something somewhat bigger. For…
Hey there Polycounters, it's been a while since I posted, altought I still sneak around watching some of the projects that go around, great stuff as always! I am here to show you my next project and hopefully get some feedback The ideia for this project came after I finished my Feudal Japan Challenge and it came as a way…
Looks neat! I think the roof needs some more work. Right now it's just 100% rust. Could go with rust decals instead, or vertex painting? The STAIION signs look a bit low res The 66 sign looks low res too. The plants under the roadside STATTION sign look kinda old school. Give the grass a bit of a curve, and have it coming…

Hey people I have (yet another) UE4 project (that will inevitably get mothballed and forgotten in the future) hugely inspired by the behemoth tank in the Battlefield 1 DLC, and BF1's train behemoth itself. It's been quite a quick turnaround so far, with most of the work shown being done over a long weekend with my place to…
Hey, I'll offer a few crits. Grain of salt, mostly this is just opinion stuff but if you try it and it helps, cool: 1. Bone material doesn't look right. Too soft, porous. Looks like if I swat it with my sword it would be like hitting a pillow. I'd recommend making a mask to section off just certain parts of the bones to…
It's not really a "stupid jocks" kind of thing, its more of a what hell are we spending our money on, kind of thing. I like sports that have actual athletes not 2 ton walls of grislely meat byproduckt. I'm a big soccer fan, played it for 19 years and actively support our local team. I love Basketball, Hockey and even…
