Re: Can Fusion 360 quadrify when exporting?
You're not winning me over with your examples. Your last example can be done very quickly in Max and almost entirely out of spline shapes. I've been through them all in search of new hard-surface tools/workflows for game-ready assets: Modo, Blender, Fusion360, Houdini, rounded edge shaders, Substance designer chamfer,… -
Re: Fable Village
First off, I am loving the concept that you chose. This can be a really cool scene. I would recommend trying to work on the surface definition. As a whole, the atmosphere is starting to read but when looking at the details the surfaces break down. Work on the blends, lots of the surfaces smoothly blend into another with… -
Re: Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition!
You guys... are seriously amazing. Do any of you have any books or video's you recommend for Maya or Unity? I just finished looking through this whole thread and didn't see much, just links, which I've glanced over but they are a bit too far over my head. I'm looking for anything from books talking about the different… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2012 Edition
Heya dude! The stitching is zip-ties that are used to hold the fiber-glass skirting on if it cracks or falls off. Some good examples here ive exaggerated the size of the zipties so they are noticeable/come out in the bake. Its common practice as when you hit something, or clip the bodykit you can just use zipties to fasten… -
Re: WIP_Star_wars_the old republic_scene
Remember that you have a free alpha channel in each texture. So you could just put the two AO maps in there. Seeing as your two diffuse textures are really a grunge/noise texture with a color tint you could even go as far as to use a texture with a different with dirt in each channel. Then just multiply each channel with a… -
Re: What is the most important skills for a character modeling?
You have a reasonable example :poly142:. Hey man, the forum doesn't cost you anything from typing too much or sth like that, feel free to express anything you wanted :poly127:. Thanks for the advice, about the software I'm now mostly using Zbrush for practicing my sculpting skills, the reason why I chosen it is it's really… -
Re: "clean" topology?
Smoothing and normal issues aside that you might encounter in some engines, long thin triangles like the ones depicted in the first view also take a hard toll on your fill rate as they often have quite poor quad efficiency on the gpu. The modern gpu fills triangle in 2x2 areas on the screen and if too many quads fall… -
Re: Fighting Stage redesign (UNI module)
I think what would really drive home the idea of a destroyed environment is one large focal point of destruction, from which all of the damage emanates. So, for example, instead of having a small hole in the ceiling, knock out a good 10-20% of the stage and set the rest of the damage around the idea of outdoor… -
Re: Ngons for assets in UE4?
Max 2012 was when they(Adesk) started to first implement Nitrous viewport. My guess is that your invisible edges(dashed) are simply not showing up on account of a 2012 display issue. As for what I'm describing, a plane isn't a good example as it has no silhouette. You only need to worry about shading errors after you have… -
Re: Where does it go? Metalness vs Roughness
It is specific to what kind of weathering you are trying to create. Metals corrode and oxidize, and in the process they undergo chemical changes. Also, many kinds of damage and localized wear include a component of surface transfer between materials. Do what looks right for the circumstances you are trying to replicate and…
