Re: From Film to Games, what are the biggest differnces.
Don't worry very much, the good 3d work will be good everywhere. I've been working as a generalist for years, and i take almost all the works i can get, adverstising, animation, tv and games... The change is like an ilusion. Once you get used to work with normal maps, realtime shading, and a few things... all is the same… -
Re: Is there a specific name for this kind of shading?
haiddasalami, thank you! This is quite enlightening. I ended up finding a engine that can do that watercolor effect in realtime, called "aquatree"/"aQtree". However there is very little information about it online. Does anyone know it? Aparently it has been developed by the same creator of Ivy generator, Thomas Luft, and… -
Re: Do you prefer Video or Text tutorials?
It depends on the tutorial. I find painting/sculpting tutorials easier when its realtime in a video format. However, if it were a tutorial on baking texutures from xNormal, it would be much more helpful as a text document. Essentially if the tutorial is based on technique then a video would be better. If its about a… -

Re: New portfolio (Character artist)
Good point about the menu, i saw his portfolio as it was being made so i only noticed when you pointed it out. I'm a massive fan of the minimalist style and i enjoy all the art in there. I wouldn't mind seeing a character with some hard surface stuff/another realtime character. I would make the homepage image of the guy a… -
Re: [Portfolio] Justin Roberts - Environment Artist
I use lightbox on my site and don't have any problems with it. I took a peek at your image sizes and that might be where the problem is coming from. I would recommend opening them in photoshop, then going to File->save for web and devices. That does a good job at compressing the images. You also get a realtime preview of… -
Re: L.A. Noire
This is from Team Bondi... who splintered off of Sony. The Writer/director of "The Getaway" for the PS2, that is not necessarily raising my hopes for gameplay. Nothing about that video says that its not realtime, then again, nothing about that video says it is. The Ps3 can probably render all that just fine, as long as… -
Re: Organizing uvs and Texture resolution
Cut it like this and tile the shells. http://oi60.tinypic.com/2ahb0js.jpg And if this is game art, you want as few texture maps as possible - it's bad practise to split up an asset into multiple minor maps unless you have a really good reason to. In the VFX industry this isn't a problem though as all graphics are… -
Re: Rendering setup in UE4 (or Substance) for portfolio props
Been a while since I watched this but this one covered it iirc. https://youtu.be/nZ7wj3aoyQs Or if you're feeling adventurous there is also EEVEE, the new realtime renderer in Blender. https://youtu.be/eAVjwXEjDdo There isnt much I can say about rendering in Painter, you go to the tab and upper the samples to get a crisp… -
Re: ME weapon recreation WIP- hard surface practice
Haven't played ME2, but in ME1 they explained the guns having infinite ammo by the fact that the guns used a solid slug of metal as their source of ammunition (mass accelerators as they are) They chipped parts of the metal and formed the bullet, realtime. Now why does the concept have a casing ejection or whatchamacallit…
