Re: multiple tillable materials or one unique material?
Here is a proof that the "general usable materials assigned by slots" is the best performing and also good looking solution. Use a standard size of e.g. 1 square meter for the UV projection (e.g. box/cube projection) and make some seamless tileable materials with now significant spots. for large areas use different scaled… -
Re: Rickenbacker Bass Guitar
I decided to re-assess my this pieces' textures ... again :) The original was too plain. The second was too overly chipped and the wear was too "painted on". I have learn much about texturing since then and I believe this is a major improvement. Less chipping, more roughness variation and more based on real examples. I'm… -
Re: How can I model this handle?
If you have soo many problems with this and you came not up with the idea to ask your teacher.. or simply look a some real life references.. for example any twist drill available in any hardware store.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Drillbits.jpg ..then you may have to overthink your path to be an 3D artist.. maybe… -
Re: Insomniac Spiderman Retopo (Help)
Thank you so much! By cuts I'm guessing you mean multi-cut, yeah? The work of the Spider-Man games have been a great inspiration for me as a 3D Artist, so really, thank you. Another question not as related to the retopo process. How were you able to create the tendrils for the symbiote stuff? Like the suit transformation… -
Re: My thoughts on Normal Baking by with UV matching
The main problem with this method, or a similar method someone else posted a while ago(where they take the lowpoly and bevel edges to create the high, but keep the silhouette the same to avoid waviness) is that your edges will always look like jagged lowpoly models. When you get some slight waviness in there, it will at… -
Re: Is there a specific rule regarding the length of a wall, or can it be any dimension for modular
No need to snap to a grid for a 1-off asset. You really only need to use gridded modular meshes if you are making a whole town of buildings, and want to leverage a library of reusable parts. For example: https://polycount.com/discussion/144838/ue4-modular-building-set-breakdown/p1 -
url forwarding?
hey guys, I have a question that the web gurus here may be able to help with. Perfect example is polycount itself. I always punch in "boards.polycount.net" and it redirects to "polycount.com/forum" How is this done specifically? I know about .htaccess 301 commands, but I cant seem to grasp how to tell it to use a… -
Re: Face sculpting
There is alot of musculature you are missing. The bone structure is too strong around the jaw and not strong enough in areas like the brow. The example is stylized and the features are enlarged while the skull is small in comparison which suggests youth. In Blender you can set up an image plane and place the front and side… -
Re: Артефакты в unity
Hi! Don't know what happened when you beveled the edges. If you did so using modifiers, I would double check the result in Unity or reimport the export, to make sure UVs didn't get messed up. Attached you find two examples illustrating what I meant previously (another loop on flat area, then have lightmap wrap around… -
Thick modular meshes in games. Why?
I've noticed it a lot in recent games like Oblivion Remastered, God of War Ragnarok, etc. The modular meshes have thickness for some reason, even if they are tileable or unique. But some games like AC: Mirage have all their meshes thin. What's exactly the point of thickness here? Example from Ragnarok
