Looking for environment artist for space strategy game
Our small team is working on a mobile space strategy game. We need an in-game artist to implement the game's top down star system view. A lot of the work will focus on planet appearance and progression, stars, nebulas, asteroid fields and space stations. Some of the work will be guided by existing concepts, but there will… -
Smoke simulation, how would you guys approach it ?
Hi Polycount, I am currently working on a personal project which is a full CG vfx shot. I've gotten to a point where I need to add a very dense/long smoke/dust trail and I am trying out Maya fluids which seems to be a little too heavy to run on my machine. Do you guys have any good suggestions on how to approach this issue… -
Have you ever used Quixel DDO? I need your opinion! (nice and short student survey)
Hello! I'm VFX student working on a dissertation (in fact the deadline is this Friday!). I'm researching texturing software and I need some opinions on Quixel DDO - I'm asking here because almost nobody I know has used it! The survey asks about other software as well - I'm mostly interested in Quixel DDO but of course if… -
[Riot Art Contest] Johnathan Sagris
Topic by JhnySmthApl · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - VFXOh boy, VFX! So I've got one concept that's really inspired me to do this. It's a water fist(s) flying at an opponent. A simple build-up of the character rearing multiple arms back then unleashing them in a relentless assault. I've thought of a couple variations of this too: Making a right - left - uppercut -or- Fist… -

Regularly visiting a doctor/dentist/psychiatrist in the industry?
I feel this topic is very important to me so there is something I need to know. I recently turned 24, but I haven't seen a medical professional since I was 16. I told myself, the day I do get hired as a 3D artist, one of my first priorities is to immediately start seeking medical help again. While it sounds straight… -
Video Game Visual Effects Resources
Hey there! Currently, at work, I've been spending quite a bit of time doing VFX at work, and I've just been teaching myself how to do... well, pretty much everything. I'm at the point now where I'm really comfortable with the tools, but I want to push things to the next level, and I'm having some trouble finding good… -
Re: File formats for textures
Tga works I suppose but the 8bit limit, lack of general compatibility and the fact that it uses a lossy compression method mean that it is inferior to PNG in every way. as gnoop says deep exr is the logical place to go - it was designed for use in vfx pipelines where there was a need to package up multiple images per frame… -
Re: Help with two uv tiles
You could give it two material id's, and create two fully different UV sets, and import that into painter. Create a multi-sub material with two inputs, plug in two standard shaders in them (give them different colors). Click on the multi sub, and then select all of your low-res meshes and apply that multisub to them. From… -
Re: How common are standing desks in the industry?
Most VFX studios I've been to offer them but require you to get a medical note from your doctor. It's easy and soo worth it. I've had a standing desk since my first job and can't go back. I even made sure to have one at home and recently got a motorized one which is rather handy. I'm probably at 75% standing and 25%…
