Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - May & June 2017 (48)
@Umbrafoxus I plan to render it in UE4 since I work with it and I know it better than other game engines. As per challenge rules I think a Modo render wouldn't be accepted! I learned something cool already (!) when you mentioned modo camera matcher (I never used it before and it's awesome!). Also the edge shader you see in… -
Re: [Best Tool Asset Store Award] Amplify Shader Editor - Node-based Shader Creation Tool
Hello everyone! Our regular forum users are already aware but, for anyone else, we're happy to announce that we recently added support for the Unity HD Rendering Pipeline to Amplify Shader Editor. This is part of our long term development plan as we aim to provide a reliable future proof-solution for advanced shader… -
Re: World Of Warcraft FANART: Undead Starting Zone [image heavy!]
This is fantastic so far, I love seeing all of the WIP shots and watching it all come together. :) Your texture work is phenomenal! I really like the way the foliage in particular is turning out - the cobwebs/moss hanging off of some of the branches is a perfect touch. That house is awesome, too! Lots of little details, I… -
Re: Getting cozy with 3d Art
You did a great job for your first asset! If you are looking for some help getting good renders out of Marmoset they have a bunch of tutorials on their website to help with that: https://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn. Look at some of the GDC videos too. However, a lot what is required to get good lighting, rendering, and… -
Re: New PC Build
5820 runs at a slower clock than the 4790, which means the 5820 is probably slower (or at best not significantly better) at most day-to-day tasks. On the other hand, for high end rendering the 5820 should be faster, but only if your renderer can efficiently thread all 6 cores. I think Modo's renderer is very well threaded… -
Re: Maya LT!!!!???
They are putting some things back in, the lack of MEL scripting was a real dealbreaker. I think LT is on a good way and compared to the 3000-5000$ a full 3D studio software will cost you it is a fair deal. As long as you can do everything that is advertised + use the custom content (scripts) you are used to from the… -
Re: HP Combat Vehicle (WIP)
Your hard surface modeling skills are prety good. I see a few faceted areas and some edges that will be too hard to bake. There is much more to life then omni lights!! That render is not doing you any good. There's no need to screencap a high poly model. You wont be able to achieve anything close to the level of uberness… -
Re: First "finished" game asset: greek pillar
Thanks Jess, 2 lights was turned on and switched it to 1 now I did multiple renders since I wasn't sure how to go about it. hopefully i did it right. here's the high poly ones Here's the lowpoly model with normal applied. I'm not sure how you wanted it applied, to the diffuse to see it "painted" on or in the normal bump.… -
Re: Looking for critique/assistance on normal maps
Popol is correct. The reason you triangulate in your modeling package before baking is because different programs will triangulate differently. 1. The engine you would display this in would handle lightmapping assuming this object never moved in the scene 2. Yes, you can bake ambient occlusion within xNormal. 3. It depends… -
Re: Jungle + small village environment {WIP}
Thanks, cmtanko. I made that scene years ago. I created an early version of it for an environment modeling class, and then redid the composition and lighting for my portfolio (this version). It was all created in Maya and rendered with mental ray. The ground was just made with a poly plane divided into a grid, then…
