Dungeon Door WIP
Hi all, This is my first post in the forums, though I have been admiring the work here for a while. I am trying to put together a collection of environment assets for a portfolio. This is a dungeon style door work-in-progress. I did the first texture pass this morning. I still have to do the spec map, so the lighting looks… -
Re: Steampunk Goggles fan art prop [WIP]

It is… -
Re: What is more ressource consuming? Polygons or texture?
textures can cost quite a bit, in terms of bandwidth especially given the numbers of maps PBR shaders shunts around. Polygons can indeed be expensive still, turn shadows on and your 20k tree is now effectively 40k. So maybe you decide you want shadows to actually appear further than 1m away and you need to start thinking… -
Re: Reference Sharing Thread
I've never used pinterest. I've come across it occasionally when searching for refs but had no idea it was used for references specifically. Do you have any tips for finding stuff for references? I still think my idea is relevant though. I have, for example, 400 images just of Sherman tanks, from the M4 through M4A4 and…
