Hello everyone! I cannot figure out the issue with polygon edges being seen on the low poly after baking. Here's the high poly and low poly models (Blender). These are the seams and sharp edges that I have now: Once the baking is done (Substance Painter) and a simple layer (just a color or a variation with roughness…
Hey there, this is going to be a pretty long response. I'm a 3D artist who has also played the cello for almost 20 years, so this post is ... extremely relevant to my interests. In terms of Polycount-specific stuff, I'd recommend embedding images in your post instead of attaching for the future. Just easier for people to…
In modern engines foliage is usualy vertex animated. That means you don't have to animate via key frames. The animation is created proceduraly in the engine. But you have to study what method exactly is used in the engine you use. For example in Cryengine you have to vertex paint your model inside your 3d package to…
Hey guys So, I'm trying to use the TC curvature shader information of polygon models and I'm a little confused. If I apply the shaders in the example scene to my models the render comes out black, Im assuming this is because they are polygon models and all the example scene uses is nurbs. The site also claims there are…
[ QUOTE ] I'm not really a fan of the series, but I'm wondering why they chose to not cell shade the environment. I really dislike it when games do this. [/ QUOTE ] In animation, backgrounds are typically painted, and only the characters and objects which they interact with are painted on cels... well, unless we're talking…
the eyes offset is most easily fixed by unbinding, removing the bind pose, and rebinding them. Since they 100% weight to a single joint this is an easy fix. if during the setup of the fit skeleton it complains about joints not being zeroed out this can also be the issue, if you ignored that. One time I had a similar issue…
Hi, How do you motivate average 3D artists to raise their quality bar or how were you inspired by your leads, if you ever needed to? I think many of you have some thoughts from either side. There's also a specific case to my question. I have a problem with a character artist who doesn't want to learn (by theory, i. e.…
Some insightful info already discussed here and additionally as others mentioned lighting can make or break a scene regardless of an intended art direction so I'd also suggest looking into photography techniques, for example 'Rembrandt Lighting' although the master himself was particularly influenced by the works of…
Legacy , ACES, Adobe and why? Isn't Adobe one basically same as in Photoshop ( ICC profiles based) the games usually ignore while in full screen ? ACES one is for VFX . Games use only tone mapper part of it , right? What you set for Unreal5 based game for example ?
Hey Graffiti, digging the new panel. Yet I'd be curious to look at your mood board/inspiration. Also, what is the purpose of this piece? Portfolio? Practice? Material studies? Level layout? This environment could fit any number of those qualifications; (understood it's still a wip) yet I wouldn't say any of them are…
