Re: Becoming a 3D Character Artist, what is your opinion?
Compeletely agree with all the comments about how long and hard it will be. I decided specialising in 3D character art and started working for it seriously ( and I mean 9 to 6 almost everyday, I had the time) 2 and a half years ago. If you click the link below you will see I can't even touch the guys who I am supposed to… -
Re: [UDK] Arcadia Moon Colony: Military Maintenance Bay
Like Divi said, the lighting is way too murky. You immediately loose almost all of your hard work in your hard surface details. I mean, i LOVE the console and other models you have done so far, but the lighting currently is just killing it. There is no determined light source it seems, as well as some indoor fog. Also, he… -
Re: Substance Painter Baking issues
I would guess you need to look into softening your edges, and then going through and hardening edges that have UV seams (as a catch all, though in general you'll only need to harden an edge at a UV seam that is around 90 degrees or more/ a dramatic plane change as it were).

Re: Difference from smothing groups vs weighted vertex normals.

Re: Marvelous Designer workflows/tips?
Marvelous is definitely becoming more popular throughout studios, and is becoming more of a go to solution for cloth simulation. If you are a character artist, it would be silly to not at least look into it and give it a go. I personally love the software and have found it immensely helpful in dealing with any type of… -
Re: Jay's Portfolio
That's why I love Polycount :) Solid crits Fog, thanks a lot. From what I gathered I think its better for me just to start-a-new. I've been thinking about what I could do to help create a strong portfolio, and I figured I could focus on 3 projects / areas. First would be a next gen (small) scene that will focus on my… -

Extending a complex texture naming convention
Recently I've been revisiting the texture naming convention currently in use, and I'm at a bit of a crossroads. While this has barely any impact on the end user (modding/asset extraction aside), it has a huge impact on UX. Currently used naming scheme allows for quick identification while consisting of only three…
