Hi! I respect that you're upfront about your use of AI. I suggest you take look around the forum to get an idea of what some positions are on AI use, for example AI Art, Good or Bad? If you really want to learn and improve: Ditch the AI part! Looking at the image, I see objective errors which make me question whether…
Eq this is not correct. Well, I don't think so anway. It would be possible to get the same vert count as the flat shaded example by making each triangle it's own uv island but I don't think I've ever seen someone do that accidently, where as I have come across lots of examples of people unnecessarily flat shading models, a…
Hi everyone, I’m trying to recreate this kind of anime coloring/shading style from One Piece (image attached). What I’m specifically trying to achieve: * Strong cel shading with soft transitions in some areas (like the face and hair) * Intense glow/red eye effect * Clean but dynamic highlights in hair (not overly…

Here are some "current gen" examples. Horizon Zero Dawn (don't mind the tech talk there's a short piece on tree creation towards the end): https://ubm-twvideo01.s3.amazonaws.com/o1/vault/gdc2018/presentations/gilbert_sanders_between_tech_and.pdf Here the bottoms of the tree have more detailed meshes because that's closer…
Hi, I’m working on a classic 2,5D (2D backgrounds & 3D characters) point’n’click adventure. And I need 91 2D cartoon character illustrations (western style, no anime) based on the 18 3D human characters used in the game. So I give you a screenshot of the 3D character – and you create 4 cartoonish illustrations based on…
In most use cases, mid poly modeled with appropriate detail will serve as both the source and target mesh, without the need for a conventional high to low poly bake workflow. In other words Substance Painter for example, enables the user to self-bake their mesh maps. Anyhow check out these comprehensive tutorials which…
Hey there! I'm brand new to the animation stuff in Maya (basic knowledge). I would like to know more about how to animate first person and third person characters (Idle, Walk, Run, Jump etc.) Has anyone good learning resources for getting started in animations for especially first person animations in video games?…
@FrankPolygon - that's an excellent breakdown/practical example and i feel like I've seen you do something similar before. I think if you got your examples and breakdowns together and made them into a sticky the world would be a better place. also.. its worth mentioning that if you're going to LOD the object then you…
Nice blockout! I would suggest choosing your rendering system first, then set up the ground shader to work within it. For example, in Unity I would use a layered shader, and paint a mask where the water would be on the concrete. And add some clumps of dirt as geometry.
