It's heading in the right direction, but it's clearly not there yet. That process uses solid colored images. If you attempt to provide something more complex like a photo you get very iffy meshes. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO1LYJb818Q But it's definitely heading there. Think of any style asset that has a…
Your portfolio apart from the title doesn't really scream tech artist. Tech artist roles are different at all studios but all you mention that is really relevant is kismet and uScript but show no examples, and while useful seems more like a level scripter role. You also mention cascade and have an example of hologram…
Although I voted for books/written articles, a concise, well edited video can be just as good. Most of the videos on CTRL+Paint fit this description. Unfortunately, tutorials with production values as good as those are a rarity. +1 to the Marmoset tutorials - really clear and to the point with lots of examples. I wish the…
My only issue is I wish you had more objects that didnt have straight up and down edges, add some angles here and there. Here are some example I guess. Like maybe your left corner could have a curve or something. not my art just examples..…
"3/4 mapping" is a made-up term for something related to the process of mirroring the UV mapping coordinates. Except here you offset the seam from the middle of the model, so only part of the surface is mirrored. The middle area is not mirrored. The UV seam then occurs off the center line. Here's an example, courtesy…
Hi! Perhaps you find some useful info on the Concept wiki page I think the base of many environment concepts is a 3d blockout. For example concepts could be done on top of renders of a greybox level, or the current level state to explore options. I think a crucial part when fleshing out an idea, whether 2d or 3d, is…
Hi all, long time lurker. I looked around and found some examples of someone attempting this in Blender (in like 2007) but no recent examples. Here's where I'm at: I wanted to see if it would be possible to quickly bake something very complex (like FiberMesh fur/hair, for example) to a fur shell. The idea would be that…
I second this, that orc ass needs saving otherwise nobody will hire you. Seriously though, you're not off to a bad start but these aren't portfolio level works as much as they are studies. Portfolio work should be comparable to the companies you aspire to work for. Avoid anything called "WIP" in your portfolio section.…
Here is my logic. Whats the point if u work for example 5 years in the company and u dont have any commercial portfolio piece to show after. And if u decide to leave or studio shuts down suddenly.......and now u wanna apply somewhere else for a job u have nothing to show after 5 years. Ofc point is knowledge and experience…
I believe that it's not quite right, and by sandbox it would mean that your actions wouldn't have any permanent effect which make it impossible to continue on as usual. To take your examples: Skyrim has Open-World Sandbox and RPG elements, permanent damage. GTA has Open-World Sandbox and RPG elements, temporary damage. If…
