Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
I would like to share something with you guys, that I discovered some time ago, but I didn't have nice use cases to show it off. Now in the ray marcher, it saves me a lot of time, and simplifies and shortens the hlsl code that I actually need to write. Hopefully it will be useful for someone else too. It is about adding… -
Re: Environment artist - Intro & Portfolio critique,
Just a quick portfolio review of your artstation - I like your colours, and I like your moods. I like your ability to previsualize a very, very early mood sketch. But if you want more work in the games industry as a concept artist, then I'd like to see more specific examples of 'designing' self contained assets. Right now… -
Re: How can I make powerlines?
I would suggest NOT using an alpha blended surface for these. The texture is going to be filtered with distance, and the lower MIPS will be very blurry. It's generally better to just use pure opaque geometry. Include enough cross-sections to reduce long thin triangles, which can cause performance issues with some GPUs.… -
Re: Jukebox Hero Prop
I didn't checked on any references.. but the detail/scale of the worn out metal seems to be more fitting to for example some smaller thing like maybe a painted toolbox (??) or of the metal case would be thicker and will be worn out very much like for example some forklift.. now i checked and.. .. it seems you got the… -
Re: Anime Process + Shader Techniques
Sorry, I didn't realize -- yes, exactly that -- I know enough that I can make rudimentary shader code, I'm just looking for operations/math/advice/direction/etc that might help me to achieve something like the above images/examples, especially with the constraints I've mentioned (performant enough for many onscreen chars… -
Re: Painter - height / normal UV discrepancy
Update: By trial and error I have found precise formula for Height Adjust filter Multiply slider: square root of the multiplier between two Texel Densities For example suppose we have Td = 4 and Td = 15, thus 15 / 4 = 3.75 and now the square root of 3.75 = 1.936 so to obtain equal height magnitude between two Td = 4 and Td… -
Re: [FOLIAGE] ~ Polycount VS alpha cutout, which one to favour in trees?
Hopefully you've taken a breather, it seemed like you were getting pretty stressed out and wasting lot of energy on posts. If you put half the energy into figuring out your problem that you did into posting, you would have 1-2 test cases up and running and be well on your way to figuring out a workable solution. ;) 1st… -

Re: What Blender Tasks Are Still Wasting Your Time? Looking for Real Automation Targets
You’re right, decimation is a better word for what I’m doing than retopo. Ideally yes, the decimation and unwrapping would all be handled in one step. Best case would be a modifier that I put on the model once and forget about. I know there are quad-based topology solutions out there that would probably give me better auto… -
