Re: Substance Painter vs Quixel Suite 2.0
There's a lot Substance can do that Quixel can't. Substance is much better suited to make tiling textures, creating vfx type textures, creating and using textures beyond the basic PBR albedo/roughness/normal/etc. It's definitely more of the tech artist tool if that's your goal or interest. Better for rapid iteration across… -
Re: Game testing as the entry level position?
Yeah I think getting into the development side of the games industry is slightly more tricky as Junior artist is the entry level position with the level of competition for those jobs and due to the fact you need to showcase your skills right off the bat you really need to hit the ground running. Whereas with VFX you can… -
Re: What are the main differences between the game and film Industry's?
in vfx most of the time u will have less ownership of the work you do and the work seems alot more specialized. For instance, that cg bear you fell in love working on, you will have to let go of it at some point and let a bunch of other people work on it. Your demoreel will be like the same as your co-worker s. In games,… -

Re: Literally Handpainted Uv's
a few fellow students back in the uni days did that usually going over the UV with pencils or aquarel colors. But only crispy stuff looked good like Ink, pencil and such. Water based techniques sucked because they were blurred or cut off at UV borders and at the seams. At first thought you were aiming at camera mapping… -
Re: Cinematic / Film Workflow
For VFX assets a lot of the final look will come from the shading and texture work. So extensive use of displacement map painting, a lot of custom mask maps, procedural maps in the shader, Udims for very high-res textures, and complex multi-layered blended shaders. Modeling would be dense polymodeling with perhaps render… -
Re: And now Pandemic Studios goes down!!
seforin , you seem to have a real downer on outsourcers/freelancers. lots of freelance work is outsourced to production companies this days or smaller quality operations, so imagining that somehow this is all the fault of outsourcing is just plain silly. work has always been outsourced to some degree anyway and speaking as… -
