Re: Current Industry Standard workflow for 3D artists??
To echo some of the above : - Be excellent at creating highpoly models, both sculpted and as manually crafted geo - Be excellent at creating ingame meshes - Be excellent at UVs and baking. - Also pick a 3D CAD software like Fusion, Moi3D or Plasticity. And then things will vary from one project to another. Honestly not… -
Re: And my axe! Hardsurface, Hipoly, C&C needed
I'm going to just stop this before I end up deleting it. I've fiddled about with the lowpoly, the highpoly, the unwrap and textures and nothing really looks right. When I started this it was my first real attempt at making a HP to LP bake model. I've learned a lot though, and thats really all that matters. The design isn't… -
Re: Bigley Bake Tools
yeah I think I should be able to spend one more week or so to do an update on the highpoly naming system. I would like it to hold the original name of the highpolys... and not rename them to "Highpoly_*" I will see if I can't get to it after my current project which will be wrapped up in a week. -
WIP Environment Scene – Feedback Needed (Lighting / Foliage / Composition)
Hello everyone, This is my first completed environment scene in Unreal Engine, and I’m looking for honest and detailed feedback to understand what I should improve going forward. I’m still early in learning environment art, so I would really appreciate critique that focuses on fundamentals like lighting, composition, and… -
Re: Pirate gun handpainted gameready
I would highly recommend trying a 256 resolution, you can do a heck of a lot detail wise if you learn how to mirror and reuse uvs, along with straightening uvs to reduce aliasing jaggies. It also helps get very crisp output. The knowledge then scales up rather nicely to higher resolution work. -
Re: xNormal - MASTER THREAD
[ QUOTE ] The per-vertex AO is nice! It rendered the highpoly AO vertex colors to a lowpoly mesh with 2048 map in 15 secs! [/ QUOTE ] Btw, sure you use the FP16 or FP32 precission to fully-use the GPU. If you set it to CPU will use it only partially ( but sometimes is required if the graphics card cannot support floating… -
Halo Fan Art - E.V.A Helmet
trying to practice more on my modeling skills. Still having trouble with correct topology. Reference: W.I.P: i want to retopo it but once i make a highpoly. Should i completely rebuild(start from scratch) it for for a highpoly or retopo it and then add details? crits highly appreciated! -

Highly sus to me, i can see problematic moves there if this is true. Just want to hear what people whom use… -
CAD Modelling for Games
Finished Model (textured & rendered): Hey guys, my name is John Kilbride, and I'm a freelance Hard Surface Artist. I decided I wanted to give a small look into my workflow using CAD-modelling software for game-ready props, since when I started out experimenting with this there wasn't a lot of direction after exporting from… -
Ditching Geometry Caches for Maya-to-Unreal Lattice Rigs
Wanted to drop a quick pipeline piece we did solving a data-bloat problem. We needed a reusable, highly deformed eye rig setup for a stylized project, but relying on geometry caching to bake out the lattice deformations was killing our data foot print. We’ve shared a quick, high-level teaser of the rig over on LinkedIn if…
