Re: [Finished] Overgrown Crash Environment - UE4
Hello again, thanks for all your input :) Yes, the intention was for the tree to have grown around the capsule after it had settled, rather than hitting the bulls-eye perfectly. I realise in hindsight that making one side of the tree thicker/denser as its source root would better communicate this, a la this image: I did… -
Re: Churchill Mark IV - Intro to 3D Modelling First Year Project
The road wheels really seem to be eating up an excessive number of polygons. I'd leave the top of the cylinders as solid, with the normal map supplying the more complex geometry. Depending on the final scene, you can probably limit them to cylinders with 8 or at most 12 sides, rather than the 20 you are currently using.… -
Re: Photoshop tips
OK, this one is kind of general and long winded, but it took me a while to figure out. Would be happy to know of a better way for sure! When importing hard edge graphics such as a vector file into PS, don't use the import dialog to resize smaller and import the file. This will use PS normal default sampling AFAIK, and… -
Re: ANSWERED: Quixel Development
Hi! The absence from the forum the last couple of weeks have been due to holidays, travels and such, I´ve really tried to be here as much as I could and appologize for anyone that had to wait for an answer! 1.8 Have had some issues from some user and some bugs that have affected everybody, but far from everybody are having… -
Re: 5 reasons why the (AAA) game industry is about to crash
Cool article, and I think it brings up some really good points. That said, can anyone cite any economic data that shows the video game industry will crash? Atari 2600 doesn't account for GenX+ Millenials who grew up with a controller in their hand. AAA can't crash. It can however EVOLVE. Even if consoles crash, AAA games… -
Re: ASIDE FROM VIDEOGAMES AND ART, what makes you happy in life?
I don't play TF2... actually I don't have a truly favorite game I play all the time. I was heavily into StarCraft for a short time (before realizing that not only do I suck, but I will always suck when playing online unless I play the game 24/7 like they do). I do love Portal, but that game doesn't have much replay value.… -
Re: Sphere and box reflection probes, when do I use them?
Based on my experience, it seems like you'll notice a performance hit faster with the larger resolutions and fewer actors before you would with a ton of actors at 128 pixel resolution. But that's texture memory and not directly related to just the probes, I've just never had any other issues with them. DX11 has a limit of… -
Re: WIP - Heli MH-6
Sweet stuff dude, I always liked the shapes of the real heli. Yours looks pretty accurate as far as I can tell. Anyway regarding your HP and polycount question: I'd rebalance things a bit. You've got big shapes that could do with more segments (exhaust!!, window edges) and then you have tiny details that really don't need… -
Re: Generally Accepted Workflow
I'd recommend xnormal for what its worth. At my last job the workflow was something like: a) Block out model in 3dsmax b) Export to zbrush and create a high poly sculpt c) Export the high poly object for normal mapping d) You'll probably need a better low poly mesh at this point than the block out. I'd normally decimate a… -
Re: Artstation and tits
@Chimp i think the difference is what we expect from art station. your expectation seem to be that its like some ones homemade fan webpage, "i upload fun pics check dem out lol!!111", like 9gag or reddit or something. and i agree, with that expectation isnt it weird at all to see them cater to the most popular stuff. my…
