Re: Hand painting practise - crits please!
Well, workflow wise, i won't tell you what order to paint it in, but you definitely need to conceptualize it as something other than individual rocks. It's not just a pile of random rocks, it has a unified form, and if you don't go to great length to communicate that to the viewer it's not going to have any sense of mass… -
Internet Rot and brain drain: The loss of technical knowledge as sites and forums decay
Hi there. I made my account back when I was very young and frankly I hate this stupid username. But I don't feel like making a new account to post what I feel is an important message. I hope you will read what I have to say. I work as a pixel artist and 3D artist, and pixel art has had such a gigantic brain-drain that… -
Re: Ambre (WIP) - 3D Game Environment Art
This looks like a fun project and the progress so far is promising. Very nitpicky, so feel free to ignore: I think some of the cracks on the face are a bit random. They go in all directions rather than following some internal structure or weak points, and some of the widest, most open parts are in flat or depressed areas… -
Re: [WIP] Mclaren - Intense race aftermath (Need criticism before moving to interior modeling.)
Hi, here is a list of issues to consider divided in several categories. General: - currently, race car bodies are made out of carbon fiber that is painted or wrapped (autocollant) - wheels sit inside the wheel arch and not flush with the fender and are slightly tilted inwards (camber) - usually the rear wheel is slightly… -

When and how to use diffuse roughness (oren-nayar)
Most of the major render engine has a roughness attribute on diffuse/albedo (image from arnold support) I normally never touch diffuse roughness. I'll just leave it as is (usually 0.0) But as I dig in more. Especially in Renderman it has its unique name for diffuse roughness which is called oren-nayar. I googled oren-nayar… -
Reflections in UE3 (Cubes? Cameras? Tutorials?)
I have finally gotten my model into UE3 and textured, but the texture seems a little flat. The normal and specular maps are good but not producing the effect I want. Looking hard at the model I realize I need a portion of it to seem reflective. I have seen these surfaces all over Mass Effect. Now I am wondering how to… -
Normal baking object with thin straps
Modelling software: Blender Rendering software: Unreal Use case: Real-time render modelling portfolio I'm trying to figure out the best way to get good normals on a backpack object, with its various thin looping straps. My high poly modelling uses straps with thickness, and I presumed that they ought to be made into planes… -
[RevShare] working on an isometric dark fantasy CRPG, our team needs more people!
we are a small team, and we need some 3D artists/animators and some programmers/coders. (bonus points if you know how to make isometric assets and characters, and if you can make spell and area effects) trimetric tiles are what we are aiming for message be and I'll show you! 3D character animator (Blender rigging… -
Re: UV trickery
The protruding handle shape can be completely removed leaving a flat surface that still has the texture for the handle in the right place - including the normal map. Assuming it's been executed well, there should be no visible difference once the model is far enough away for the silhouette of the handle to be insignificant
