I've seen this heiligenschein from an airplane window many times, when the plane's shadow is cast onto the cloud deck. Very cool effect. For an engine to support the shadow part of the effect, it would need very high resolution shadow-casting. Not practical. Also not practical from the specular side of things... the…
Could ethically sourced datasets ever be verified? Seems like it would just be like green-washing and organic labels are now. Nobody actually knows what the truth is, so all it amounts to is people paying more for something with a label which has a good chance of being as close to an outright lie as it possibly can be. And…
I would appreciate if anyone can help with advice and suggestions to make this scene better. Th scene is mostly lit with skylight , directional light, hdri and tweaks in the post process volume. I have gotten pretty close to my reference image but i feel something can be worked on to make it better- just cant point out…
The best way to create and fit a costume is over a human model as you have done. The female model is not very compelling and there are parts that are anatomically incorrect. The first thing to do is get the figure under control. For that you can use a free app like Daz3D as a reference next to the screen you are working…
Hello everyone! I am very happy to show you my recent work. It was long and painful journey but I am super glad and happy to finish it! What most amazing is that I can finally show it! This my personal project for practice and studying purpose. The main focus was to figure out how to do proper and good engraving. After 10…
So I've been modeling a cassette player (the image provided is a closeup of one part of it. I'm trying to practice making cleaner models especially when they're smoothed out. I could be wrong but I assume the roundness of the edges (the square-ish forming outer edges) encompassing each sphere that are rounded are not the…
@NikhilR 🤣 Yes, I'm referring to AAA jobs where youre in house. I'm currently working with a remote indie studio myself but I'm referring to AAA Studios. I'm just trying to pontificate on the AAA hiring practices and the way its ran in general. Just seems like the industry practices would have matured with the money like…
There's a huge difference in terms of the range of values that can be stored (2.1 billion vs 65 thousand) Your monitor can't display the difference and your eyes would struggle to detect it even if it could. Practically speaking you don't really need the precision offered by a 32 bit image for most game art related…
Man, I'm going through the same thing. Lack of time and a good understanding of anatomy is why I dropped out of the Noob Learning Challenege. BAck when I drew everyday my understanding of anatmy was good,not great. Now after many years of not drawing it sucks. The only thing I can do is keep practicing every day. I'm doing…
With modeling it comes down to how good the model looks when shaded. Whether it's polygonal surface shading or sub-division smoothing. There are rules and guidelines and best practices. None are necessarily hard and fast. They can be bent. Everyone has their own way of modeling and getting to the end result as quickly and…
