Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (78)
@atunnard nice start! Me I've recently decided to use UE4 when I need to use heightmap, because it feels like teh current UE5 solutions don't have the quality of a "released" state. If it can help, you can still use heitmap in UE5 but right now the existing systems are... not bug-free. From what I've tried you can use: The… -
I saw a good presentation on planning modular asset sets - you should also see it
I don't normally watch tutorials because I obviously already know everything but this autoplayed and I thought it was very good. Greybeards (should) know all this but if you're smol and haven't had the light drained from your eyes yet there's a very good chance you'll learn something useful by watching it.… -

UDK - Visual Effects and more . . .
Hey Everyone, This year I'm currently in my second year of AIE - Game Development Course. I have been working on a game with other students, we are using UDK - Unreal Engine to make our game, and I have been creating some effects. Various effects from Fire, Water to Material Changing effects. This year is my first year… -
Re: POV: You need to create a big environment, where do you start?
It is similar to scultping or painting. First get in the biggest shapes. Focus on the composition. And, if it were a game, the gameplay. Then you can refine that a bit by replacing the chunky block out models with higher resolution ones. But maybe not the final high detail models yet. Then you can do a similar thing for… -
Re: How to pack more details into my terrain?

Re: Handpainting Normal Maps pixel by pixel (100% Photoshop - 0% HighPoly)
Thank you all! @zetheros - I'm sorry for the late answer, I thought nobody was looking at this post anymore. Would be cool to see what game you are working on your own. If you are looking for very efficient UVs and small textures, that's what I enjoy the most. @starcow - I'm sorry for the late answer, I thought nobody was… -
Re: Photogrammetry, megascans in level design , worth?
Lol , I recently saw that tutorial made by quixel for use of assets made with photogrammetry and manipulate them to create new unique assets in the same level , the level is called Medieval https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvaWBN6TnNw The "level" is assembled in effect with the reusage of items , I have not yet any… -
Re: Hard surface workflow for games?
So guys, its ok - there are many ways, but what is the fastest, IMO: the fastest way to work with hard surface is dynamesh/clip brushes/zmodeler -> combined fashion, but there is always a huge slowdown when retopo this mess of polys; 2) subd in zbrush using zmodeler - u could model everything using separate pieces (eq… -
Re: Portfolio & CV critique
What type of position are you looking for within the industry? 3D Environment Artist? Texture artist? Lighting Artist? I ask because your portfolio doesn't really seem to have any cohesiveness to it, nor is their any defined skillset. The lantern looks like the same lantern everyone else and their third cousin Ronnie has…
