Re: Future of 3D modeling
To quote a lecturer at GDC : 'Carmack is a false god'. The quality comes from the artists, not the fancy tech. So yeah I don't think we should hope too much for crazy realtime folds and such (if it was true, IRL sculptors would just throw a plastered towel on their sculpts and call it done). Also voxels are I think the… -
Scanned data or hand painted...?
Hi Looking at the head texture for Arthur Morgan from RDR2, would you say scanned data was used, or do you think it's hand-painted in Photoshop...? I mean, I'm inclined to say it's scanned data, due to how detailed it all is. Especially the stubble. But then, development for RDR2 probably started before using scanned data… -
Re: Offensive Combat Artdump
trevor: the what? i have NO clue what you are talking abou!!11 :P Tdub: well some things needed to be changed while working on those, be it because of the art direction, or tachnical limitations, because all characters have the same rig. maybe i should have worked over him for the webplayer, like i did with the… -
Re: Portfolio Review
cholden: Thank you! The reason most of my props are so angular/boxy is because I was unfamiliar with normal mapping and unwrapping, and the Norse Hall was kind of me trying to do it on a large scale. I'm working on my organic modeling as we speak, hopefully have something concrete in a week or two. I have a hell of a time… -
Re: Story Time: Payment for Art Test? Is this the norm?!
"I remember talking to a friend a few years ago that was then-working at Redstorm Entertainment and was taking an art test on the side for Epic Games, he was not being compensated for the art test." Well, I think you pretty much answered your own question right there. Applying for a job at Epic games is quite different… -
Re: gametime's art dump
Fox Engine Office Remake: While the Fox Engine is very impressive, especially the E3 2013 Trailer, I felt that the Office demonstration was doable in CryEngine 3. To prove it, I present you Fox Engine Office Remake. All assets have a proxy model and the level is in real scale. Many assets have POM to further enhance their… -
Re: Answered: Problems exporting materials to Dota 2
Hey there Ilore! I'm Linus with the Quixel support team. So the reason things are looking weird for you inside of DOTA is that 3DO does not have a DOTA rendering mode, instead we use standard PBR as you would see in most other engines. There have been some internal talk about adding a DOTA 2 shader to the suite, but we… -
Re: Texture Practice
Apparently the newest version of UDK has finally added a screenshot button, I haven't used it myself as I'm still using an earlier version. I tend to just take a screenshot of the scene with lighting baked and game view on (that way you don't see all the gizmos) using the printscreen command (if you're using a pc it should… -
Re: Focusing on Blizzard's hand painted style?
You shouldnt have to make those either or decisions, while its ok to start with one and lead to another, I think the worst thing any artist can do is limit themselves as it both reflects on professional options and artistic results. For career purposes, focus on environment and be able to hit both handpainted and… -
Re: I'm just getting into 3d and I'm trying to make a thing with proper topology.
Thanks so much for answering! I'm in the process of trying to follow your steps and I found this tutorial (https://blog.turbosquid.com/2013/11/06/making-a-quad-sphere/) to help me with the subdivision of the cube into a spheroid (I've never done it before) and I got to step 3 which looks like what you have in your step 2.…
