Re: [BLENDER 2.8] Render map from shader editor
Yes, lowering the samples to 4 will certainly lower the quality. :) You're essentially ray-trace rendering when you bake with cycles so all offline rendering settings apply as usual. For instance, I will bake normal maps with 128-200 samples. Obviously map size affects render times in the same way that render size matters… -
Re: My Road to Becoming a Better Character Artist
Hello everyone, I've been quiet for a long time, life getting in the way and all that. Here's a catch-up on what I've been up to! I initially died off due to acquiring and trying to learn Substance Painter, so I could texture the Lurtz model. I got sidetracked, as usual, and ended up modelling a Half-Orc for use as a… -
Re: BFA vs. Certificate
I had just turned 20 when i got my first game industry job, was working in another 3d related field for a year or 2 before that. started learning 3d in highschool and just worked on my portfolio until I was getting interviews. in terms of pipeline, I had to learn maya (I only knew 3ds max when i got the job) and some other… -
Re: Using/Utilizing others' concept art for my portfolio!
I usually take heavily influenced design decisions (big shapes, minor details, lighting, composition, etc) from different pieces of concept art and kind of collab with my own shape blockouts and such and create my own pieces. I will usually make an effort to contact the concept artist to make sure I can use their piece,… -
Re: Best auto UV unwrap?
We usually place a seam in the middle of the chin and another one goes up to the tip of the nose. These two are kinda mountainous areas and would produce too much stretching if not cut. We cut up the rest of the head to maximize UV space usage. Generally a standalone head model has to include the neck down to the level of… -
Re: Terrain [WM2]
@Cibo, right. It's a filter from Photoshop I usually do that with a very low opacity to break up the constant color of the ground and it works great, but with a hundred opacity it'll look like cloud shadows in game and I did this to have feedback and yes you are absolutely right. Think best is to lower the opacity to… -
Re: Low Poly stylized landscapes
thanks for the thoughts guys! in my scene i dont have any lights, all my materials just use: AO which most of the time ends up purple and incidence based lighting which ill have a: -top down (usually emulates the sunlight or in some scenes its used to create the 'sand' paths -2 sides the two will be used for the main… -
Re: The UK industry has little to no regard for university degree holders
You go to school to get an education, not a degree. The biggest travesty is that people seem to have forgotten that and don't take their education seriously. The reason degrees are more relevant in technical fields is because their standards are much less subjective, more easily measured, and most importantly they are… -
Re: Fork in the road
Yeah in the UK a full-time Bachelor's degree is 3 years and usually an additional year for a Masters. Part time is usually 5 years undergrad, 2 years post. Unless the course has a job placement as part of it. For example Architecture, which I think is 3 years study, 2 year job placement and then 1 final year study. I guess… -
Re: how much performance increase from modular environments?
If you are going to render 500 of the same mesh at different positions, rotations and scales then technically all you need is 1 mesh data in memory. That doesnt mean that is the best way to render the objects though. These days its generally much better to batch static meshes into compound meshes which can be rendered in 1…
