Re: Struggling with "hollow" mesh
It looks like a mantle for a gas lantern? How close are you really going to get to this and how important is this detail in the grand scheme of things? What engine are you using? Is it behind glass? Are you going to fog the glass? Is it on? Would it be glowing? If so it would probably obscure any micro detail. -
Re: Made 3 meshes of beginner level, what to do next?
Get it textured. More specifically: 1) Retopologize your highpoly model to a low poly model. 2) Get the UV layout done. 3) Bake your textures (Normals, Curvature, Cavity, AO, etc.) 4) Paint the textures. 5) Render it (if this is game art, in an actual game engine) -
Re: Why do YOU love 3d?
Seeing your 3D model finally rendered and moving in the target renderer/engine with the shading and lighting, thats the payoff that makes all the struggle worth. Edit: Wrong! Shrike! What is best in 3D Art? Crush your polys. See them shading before you. Hear the lamentations of their ngons. -
Re: The Last of Us Kitchen Fan Art Critique Please!
I agree with these guys on the lighting. I also think the scene needs a focal point, a hero piece - right now, it's a rough collection of destroyed objects in a kitchenette. Maybe an open fridge, a crashed in car, anything really, just make it an interesting place for the eye to go. Also, is this in an engine, or… -
Re: Media Texture on Static Mesh
I'm about stumped. I've looked everywhere I can think of for something close to a way to do this. I've seen it in games like batman and other Unreal Engine titles. I can get the texture to work, but am I forced to have to place it on a BSP in order to align it properly? -
Re: UV Island texture gutter padding
Depends. What are you using to render your model? The amount of gutter you need depends on the texture filtering method the game engine/renderer uses, the camera angle you use, and the distance the model is from the camera. Get your model into your renderer sooner rather than later. -
Re: Bar/Small Arcade Reupholster! WIP Critique's Please!
The lighting looks really odd to me, which other light sources you have other than the sun coming from the windows? I see a blueish light on the countertops and on the floor but can't tell where it's coming from. Also JPEG compression is not helping you much... Which engine is this on? -
Re: Sky texture
"a sky with clouds texture" Do you work in a game engine? In 99% of them skybox textures require special "tiling". Wrapping around or sth. like that; I don't remember, it should be in material/shader. For instance: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/HOWTO-UseSkybox.html Wrap mode here, I believe. -
Re: EVOLVE environment models
Thanks for the kind words! Seeing wireframes really won't be helpful since it won't give you any context. With current game engines and available hardware, it really comes down to how clever and efficient you are with your material usage, occluders, and how aggressively you LOD your models. -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Forgotten Heights - ZeroDarkBlaze
Also I forgot to mention I am using particle effects bought from Unreal Engine marketplace. Specifically I'm using VFX weather pack by Thomas Harle. I don't have much experience with particles but I did make the sparks and puffs of smoke in my scene.
