Re: [UE4] Street Scene-Environment (Finished)
Well, finishing the house remodel and taking care of newborn twins pushed this project back a few (re: many) months, but I'm back working on it! Coming back to the project after a bit of a break, I decided my concept could use a bit of an overhaul. I liked the bones of what I had, but it was looking very blocky and too… -
Re: New Path Goal
It depends on the company, really. Depending on the team size sometimes level designers are one in the same, but other times they are not. More often then not, though, a level designer is going to be doing more then just creating scenes in whatever editor your using. For example, working as a level designer on Skyrim or… -
Re: Multi/Sub-Object vs texturing an unwrap
Multi-Sub object or Multiple Material IDs have benefits and drawbacks. Things like tress are the best reason why you would use multiple IDs. Depending on other circumstances, multi-ID may be a better course to go for modular workflow. For example, maybe you design multiple texture pages with the same layout, therefore… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Deep Chasm - MARKDIDIT
Some more progress. I'm sort of stuck in a phase of planning modularity while I'm not sure exactly what makes up the side walls? Is it a natural cave or ravine? Are these all giant carved stones? or is it a bunch of tiny runed bricks that were each manually placed? Not sure whats the best combination of mentally cool /… -
Re: environment artist portfolio critique
I'm curious as to how much, if any, of your work is built modularly? Assuming you're trying to go into games, most of the work you'd be expected to do is kits and, while I definitely see what look like some repeated assets in your pieces more of what I'm seeing is one off parts that would, in theory, be used as set piece… -
Re: Is it practical to use more than 1 texture for an FPS weapon?
Sure. More specifically you're talking about two different things. One is the amount of textures (base colour, roughness, normal, metalness, ao...) you'd use, which depends on your goals. Typically this would mean all those mentioned maps for a PBR setup like UE4; but maybe you're doing a hand-painted workflow and only… -
Re: Horror Indie Game
Thank you so very Much Snader! Fell in love with your feedback, it was really kind off you to offer your help on this. And regarding the repetition issue. I will approach the game with the loop and story system. So each time you die WILL be different than the previous life, so every time something happens it will be… -
Re: Environment: Alleyway Scene
One thing you should also keep in mind is how grounded the player is when given "MMO" specs. Can the players fly? Double Jump? Climb walls? Jump at all? Is the player 4 inches tall? If Cryptic is testing you, I can guess it might have super powers involved ;) Did you model / texture the tops of the buildings as well? These… -
Re: GameTextures.com - It's like CGTextures, but for video games!
Hey TeeJay, Good question. There are a lot of uses for them, and yeah, it's a huge gamble on my part. It's difficult to say if there is a market for them, as nothing like this has ever really been tried. That's the risk of starting a company though, right? Our target audience may not be professionals, I'm more pointing it… -
Re: SketchDump of a newb: attemps at character art
Whats your target polygon count? Is this character intended for a mobile or light application? If not, you are wasting a lot of time trying to create detail vert by vert. I would strongly suggest using sculpt mode for the bulk of your detail; its simply more efficient. I'm sure you put a considerable amount of effort into…
