redesigned the gorgon but because she is important boss i won't show her model until game is published. But, figuring out how to animate the snake locomotion cycle took more hours than rebuilding the model from scratch and making the rig. There are a few examples online, but few are joint based. The only viable joint based…
Hello, unfortunately I can’t show the current project. I will probably create a new scene when I have some free time and show it instead, since I’m not able to share the current one. Video reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5fTnIBziXc The issue with my scene is that I can’t achieve the same sense of volume as the…
Hey everyone, I’ve started working on a new practice prop. Its a chemical/paint waste disposal bin. I found this one and thought it would be a great study piece because it has a lot of subtle form changes, surface damage, and material storytelling. My goal with this project is to: * Keep as much real-world detail as…
Hm it's a good site and there's some very nice content but there isn't much either. The warehouse is a good example of environment artist but lighting lets it down and makes it average. The car is really awesome though. Basically my main crits are: Lack of content, need more environments than just single props like the…
I'm very curious about best UV practises. I wish there was a thread here for general UV tips like the giant topology thread and normal baking thread. Often I wonder if I'm unwrapping things inefficiently when I end up splitting things to minimize stretching but raising the vertex count in-engine. It seems like a balance…
Look at the difference between the final and the first image in the tutorial image I posted last page, the difference is clear. One looks baked from a high quality sculpt, the other looks flat and boring, and the differences are notable on the shader too, yes. You do not even have to renormalize unless you want to be…
I see Dark Souls used a lot as an example of a game that can tell a good story with little to no use of cutscenes, but it's important to realize that not every game tries to tell the same type of story as Dark Souls. In many good JRPGs, you can basically write a 6 page paper solely about the main character of the game. Can…
I finally have the time to start a WIP thread for my contribution to this contest. First an introduction. Even though my forum handle is "animagical", I'm actually know as "animagic" over at the RL forum. My specialty is making animated films using iClone, which I have been doing for several years. I am not a modeler, so I…
Im looking for a LOW POLY modeller to assist with creating some low poly assets for an iphone car racing game. The game is a top down style game with pixel art cars, trees and smaller items. The track is a textured 3d plane. I am looking for a number of low poly models to be built and textured in a style that suits the…
I listed some examples that show that someone at Autodesk is working on Viewport 2.0. Its seems like there simply are not enough man hours devoted to it. As a new viewport renderer (VP2.0) they have the opportunity to re-write the transparency sorting features, for example take a look at the drop-down box in VP2.0 listing…
