Education - what should I do?
Hey polycounters I've been thinking hard about what I should do next in life to achieve my goal of becoming an artist in a good studio, here's my story so far: I am 21. I studied art & design, computing and emedia A levels at college, decided I wanted to aim for the games industry, but unsure whether to do programming or… -
Answered: First Time Using DDO and there's got to be an easier workflow
I watched the NDO/DDO (Quixel 2.0)primer, and felt that I could get into DDO pretty easily (even though I've had the old suite and never used DDO before, only used it for NDO). So, My objective was to make Letter Blocks, like the ones you had as kids. I made a new Multimaterial layer for each Letter and zipped it after I… -
Re: Airtug - yes it's McQue-esque
I think when I first seen the high poly for this it seemed like the construction was made from all kinds of different metals/colors kind of like what ever they could find. Now it kind of just looks like the same metal sheet that has random cuts in it. Even though the concept is made of all the same material it has tons of… -
First time doing kind of concept art in PS w/ tablet
Hey polycount! I always wanted to dive into concepting some landscapes with my Wacom bamboo (which works really well and I actually bought for sculpting). So I just started on a little piece. What do you think? I'm currently working on some details and highlighting from the sun. Suggestions and crits would be kind :) -
Re: specular maps and normal maps
I like to generate a heightmap at the same time I generate a normal map, which I find works great as an overlay or multiply layer on top of the specular, so the specular doesn't show in the deep cracks. If the heightmap doesn't look good, I'll generate an ambient occlusion map (AO) instead. I also like to multiply this on… -
Fur creation for different game engines -- general question
Hello, I am a beginning 3d artist. Right now, I know about three different methods to create fur. 1. Maya's nHair system -- which as I understand isn't compatible with the Unity game engine. I think it is fine for Unreal? 2. Zbrushes fiberMesh system -- which I do not know if it is compatible with certain game engines, but… -
Re: EVE Online
I've played it off and on for years now and I have to admit that it really isn't all that time intensive as everyone seems to make it out to be (You can train enough skills to be a PvP pilot in less than a day). Sure, skills train in real time (which can take anywhere from minutes to months) but by that same token you… -
Need major scaling help, grid such.
Hello everyone, I am in a bit of a bind. I took a look at the reflection subway demo with UE4 to find the floor tiles are around 118 by 118. which would mean the width of the room in the center are 236. I tried some sample exports of a plain box into the FPS blue print to find it being super small compared to the player. I… -
Zbrush Array in a circle - Math Question
I am trying to array copies of a mesh in a circle. I can do that fine by finding the COS and SIN but I am running into an issue. Now I am pretty terrible at math and it's been years since I touched trig... so it may be a problem with my math. I need someone smarter than me too look at this. As I increase the number of… -
Re: Efficient Workflow for Clothing Variations in Game Asset Creation?
First of all: Thanks for the response! My focus is less on finding a solution within the engine and more on tackling the task of texturing first. As you can see in the image (and please keep in mind that I’m not a Blender pro ;-) ), there is a separate mesh for each piece of clothing. In the screenshot, the character…
