January 17th: character modeling per a tutorial The previous post was late and in my timezone it's the evening of the 17th so it's coming shortly after the previous one. I followed along with the character modeling tutorial that went straight into it and didn't teach the basic controls. Thanks to the previous tutorial I… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Alex Wells, Prop and Environment Artist
If you want to do a foliage scene, it's not bad to do the tutorial first, since as far as I know it's a fairly standard and generic way to make foliage. I'd say, just make sure after you done it, to grab a couple of references of trees you like, and just make a set of trees/flowers/plants that weren't done in the tutorial.… -
Re: Beginner starting off
These are all excellent starting models. I would suggest following this tutorial made by Polycount's very own Millenia. It is an older video so the texturing pipeline is pre Physically Based Rendering. Follow his tutorial from High Poly to low poly modeling, his UV methods, and how he bakes that detail down. After UVing… -
Re: Losing Your Artistic Voice to Convenient Asset Packs
I dont like it. Theres an inherent cynicism that comes with a project made entirely of asset packs and tutorials that cheapens the art of game development. Stock assets are however an incredible tool when used as such, they can give you a starting off point or fill in a gap in your skillset when needed, but it should be… -
Re: [WIP] Makeshift Radio
Hi neat works here congrats, Just quickly curious the "tape" mesh, was that by hand/eye "made" or did you do some sort of sim (simulation) on it? I ask cause its very tight & looks neat & was curious if you found a quick solution. Tons of how to's about these types of practices, on surface materials, though i found many to… -

Re: 3D Art - Guns for Unreal Project
Rendering or lighting seems to be slowing things down for me a quick glance and topic search term in artistation brings up a tone of good references to lighting clarity and possible solutions with a search term of lighting guide/tutorial , tip/tricks. For everyone, i know i had to learn these things also, sometimes its… -

Re: Newbie question regarding modeling
You can bake to a mid poly version if you bake object space normals and covert those with an app like Handplane, but it's pretty much a waste of time in my opinion. Just add some supporting geometry wherever necessary on your lowpoly instead as geometry nowadays is pretty cheap. In a best practice scenario you should never… -
Re: First model ever (terrible i think) (surf theme)
Just don't go and try any large projects that you are not ready for and do a bunch of small props until you have the workflow from modeling all the way to having a textured asset in engine imo. Or else you end up with someone so awful that the shame will pierce your soul. At least that's my experience. Just know what you…
