I finally have the time to start a WIP thread for my contribution to this contest. First an introduction. Even though my forum handle is "animagical", I'm actually know as "animagic" over at the RL forum. My specialty is making animated films using iClone, which I have been doing for several years. I am not a modeler, so I…
Im looking for a LOW POLY modeller to assist with creating some low poly assets for an iphone car racing game. The game is a top down style game with pixel art cars, trees and smaller items. The track is a textured 3d plane. I am looking for a number of low poly models to be built and textured in a style that suits the…
I listed some examples that show that someone at Autodesk is working on Viewport 2.0. Its seems like there simply are not enough man hours devoted to it. As a new viewport renderer (VP2.0) they have the opportunity to re-write the transparency sorting features, for example take a look at the drop-down box in VP2.0 listing…
on a side note... Coming from traditional media years before I considered painting would really be possible on computers it at first took me a long time to wrap my head around using sliders or simply droplet selecting hue value and sat. And what was a correct blend between two colors is different when considering the…
I think you are not understanding how a texture is applied on relation to the UV of the model. On this gif I'm using a tileable brick texture with two examples: One where the model has some UV shells/islands/pieces with equal texel distribution (the UV's are scaled acording to the size of its polygons in the 3d space so…
What you're really taking about is materials and textures rather than UVs. There's a number of reasons to have multiple materials and UV sets on a model. Some examples : 1.The character is made of modular pieces, for clothing customisation, npc/background character generation etc. 2.You need higher resolution textures for…
I think a lot of 3D artists overlook the power that scripting with their 3D application provides them. "I'm an artist - so why do I care about scripting?" I hear you cry. Scripts are great for automating repetive tasks, and you don't need to be a programmer to take advantage of them, though if you understand a few of the…
Thanks! I do want to add more stylized pieces that don't have the issues of the older works. Also all the stylized pieces are interpretations vs the realistic ones where I tried to be as accurate as possible, and my professional work has been in realism as well, so it makes sense how my career in the industry is shaping…
Splitting and straightening the UV islands to increase the overall texture density makes sense in theory but in practice it's a bit more complicated than that since there's multiple factors to consider. In the overall scheme of things a single road wheel is a very small part of a tank and it's unlikely that every part of…
3D Character Animator (Senior/Lead) As a 3D Character Animator at Vertexbee, you will spearhead the creation of high-fidelity, realistic character performances for an Unreal Engine 5 project. You’ll be part of a newly formed agile team of industry veterans that will push the boundaries of Unreal Engine to achieve artistic…
