Re: SpaceShip UDK
We didn't really have time to throw unique pieces into the mix, we kept everything pretty modular, me and Luis(Rafael Perez) ended up pulling most of the work because our other teammate didn't do much haha. Thanks for the critique, will definitely build up on this. Oh one last thing, what do you mean by noisy textures?… -
Re: Legend of Grimrock
This looks awesome, you'll get my money. Looks like it would be fun to build custom tile-sets for this, even if you don't seem to be going with procedural generation, I'd imagine you're doing things in a very modular fashion. Level editor plus tools to import custom assets would be great, I'd love to make my own dungeon in… -
Re: Modeling for Games vs Other Mediums
what is your game? a ds game? a low budget 360 game? or a AAA title? in the coming years most AAA title's Props and modular pieces will most likely be done from a high poly just like in film, with some procedurals for things like organic environments. you will model just the same, except you will need to bake down to low… -
Re: 19th-ish century house corner
It's one huge texture for this one. In a game it would have been better to use a modular approach to this (and you could have used one huge texture there to. Since this is a single piece and a show piece i don't really care. I've reused some of the texture but i wanted as much as possible to be unique. I'll post my flats… -
Re: [UE4] Emissive lighting artifact
I got my answer on the UE4 AnswerHub, the trick was to lower Static Lighting Level Scale in World Settings/Lightmass Settings. The guy who helped me also posted two interesting links about creating UVs properly for such modular assets, and about tweaking Lightmass further. Here's the link to the… -
Re: help me breakdown this train car
You could get creative and build this in a modular way, ie: a set of two windows is a tiling texture. Then, make a clean and a dirty version (dirty version full of rust and wear), and use a blended (texture or vertex based) material to mask between the two texture sets to give it unique wear. To make it more unique, put… -
Re: How often do you use Zbrush as an Environment or prop artist?
At Vigil on DS2 we use it to make most of our assets. As an environment artist, I take on a lot of roles such as world building, kitbashing, and building modular sets in addition to creating sculpted assets. So when I make assets, I almost always use zbrush, but the majority of my time is spent doing the rest of the stuff… -
Re: Rackham-esque Tree
Heh, I thought I could get away with being a little lazy with the roots with none the wiser, but I guess not. Fixed up the root system and rocks and finished the branches up top. Before too long I'm going to make 2 or 3 modular roots I can plug into the base, so I'll see how that goes. Anyway, thanks all, for the input. -
Re: Yet another portfolio review/critique!
The props picture on your homepage links to http://www.matthewsmithgameart.com/props-1, which I'm assuming should point to http://www.matthewsmithgameart.com/props. Your environments look good, but I'm a little disappointed you don't have any breakdowns showing some of the map, wireframes, modular pieces etc. That just… -
Re: Nostromo Galley
Your reference images are not work, making it difficult to comment on how accurate the block out is so far. On the back wall I see a lot of unique pieces. Your counters are also all unique. Depending on how t hey are suppose to look, you might be able to make this scene more modular. Once you fix up your ref image it will…
