Re: WIP -Stylized Katana Sword
I ran some render tests and some of the ambient shadows were too strong(the metal piece at the bottom of the sheath, for example), but that was just because the object weren't close enough to eachother. The rest of the model was fine, so I decided to move on to texturing. I also prepared an ID map to have an easier time… -

Re: Artist exercises. (Formerly: Upping the ante on our next challenge(s).)
Zwebbie: You're getting hung up on examples of limitations. That list was examples. For instance: Don't use the colour grey. That's a limitation. I wasn't specifying them to be cliches individually but just examples of limitations so people were encouraged to draw away from cliches. Paul was right in that something like… -
[PAID] We're looking for a really fast rigger to consult with us on our rigging pipeline [FILLED]
Hi all, I’m an Art Department Director at a game studio, and we’re specifically looking for a very fast character rigger to help us evaluate and improve our rigging pipeline.

Re: Is it possible to get a good bake without support loops?
This is really just a practical example, this model itself isn’t used for anything. I usually work on low-resource video games where the mesh has to be heavily optimized, which is why avoiding support loops gives us a big advantage. Sometimes my models can be seen in first person, and that’s where the main problems… -

Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
Awesome, thanks for that! @EQ: Thanks a lot for the write up. I realize the examples for the problems of the tessellation method are just that: broken down examples and caveats to look out for. But I'd say that in many cases like the cylinder, you might have set up smoothing groups for the lowpoly anyway and could do a… -
Re: Photo Scanning Pikachu
Plush is probably not the best choice for (detailed) photo scanning, as the deeper parts between the hair are obscured pretty quickly when you change your position and you'd need a crazy resolution to scan the actual hair. The overall falloff/fresnel effect caused by this might not matter that much, but could still play a… -
Re: Help me to become a better 3D artist! :)
Well, "shouldn't have modeled" is a bit strong. I was talking more specifically about edges that could be removed. For example, you could remove the edges in red and add the ones in green to keep it all quads/tris. About modeling the circular piece, it all depends on how close it'll be see in game and at what angle. If… -
Re: importance of LODs in game ?
Auto LOD is included in every major game engine and it can be good enough in most cases until it isn´t anymore. Like for example eyes or hair pieces which are suddenly missing. (these four examples show an active Auto LOD without the included Distance where it occurs) Depending on when those issues pop up, you could do…
