Convenient ShaderFX alternative ???
Years ago I loved that cool 3d max plugin but since they inserted it inside , I no more able to use it. Kind of example of "better is enemy of good" Slow, hardly interactive, over complicated and too low level for an artist with a lot of puzzles and choices irrelevant to art tasks. In a word I'd like to find an alternative… -
Re: I'm giving a talk about Polycount, game artists, being a professional.
Thanks. But back to my question -- lets say I couldn't contact you buy you had some images you've created that are perfect examples of a point I am trying to make. Would you care I had used it? I mean, you've posted them to a public forum and no money is being made, so I reckon its technically "okay". But morally, and… -
Re: Hand painting practise - crits please!
Yea i saw the lighting examples, although i'm unsure how i'd go about doing that? If i go any darker, there will be pure black in the texture, and if i go any lighter, there won't be enough tonal variation to make the glowing lava parts stand out... I overlayed a white gradient starting at the face which faded to dark… -
Re: Character and Enviroment freelance fee's
For those example props, I'd say 100 - 1000 dollars is about right, depending on volume of work. A single elaborate fountain might be close to 1k$, but with a contract to do 20 or so of them, 500$ per elaborate asset might be fine, since there would be some reuse of decorative bits and there would be a streamlined… -
Re: [UE5] Lighting help needed! Jungle Scene
HI! I would start off by saying that your lighting does not look dreadful! Unfortunately sometimes when people are making YouTube videos they will leave out important information such as post processing changes, or shaders which can heavily impact the final results of a shot. For me the biggest thing that's sticking out in… -
Re: PBR safe base color node in Designer?
Well, there is no pure color in properly-formatted PBR color maps. And tone mappers can only do great with good inputs. White paint for example should be no brighter than 240 or so. Snow is the brightest at about 243. A lemon peel is around 220,185,0. -

Re: Polycount Colour Survey
I'm very fearful. I try to make posts that don't offend people or stir up backlash in some way. This is why I kept the OP short and discrete. You're right, that there's more to color and there are other cartoons as well. But what if someone waltzed in here and blasted me because "I didn't pick enough cartoons from a… -
Re: Advanced Rendering
This is mostly about lighting. Materials need to be tweaked to support the lighting and rendering, but mostly you need to learn how to light a scene. We have some good resources here about lighting http://wiki.polycount.net/CategoryLighting The help file in Max is a good place to start, for scenes like your examples above.…
