Re: [Portfolio] - Armanguy's Portfolio crit/ Work thread
I think that you need some examples of organic modeling. for example you could make some trees and plants of various types. maybe think of doing some kind of feature organic prop, similar to how they here done in Turok. I think all in all your work is looking good but your normal maps are not reading very well. also i… -
Re: WIP Stylised Fantasy Character
had to check for the project, switched machines in the meantime and didnt run it in ages. but regarding that rimlight. this is a 1 bit mask of the custom stencil buffer set to 12 (could be any number really, dont even ask why 12, dunno anymore :D ) here is the custom stencil mask applied per object (so it doesnt apply to… -

Re: Artist exercises. (Formerly: Upping the ante on our next challenge(s).)
Zwebbie: You're getting hung up on examples of limitations. That list was examples. For instance: Don't use the colour grey. That's a limitation. I wasn't specifying them to be cliches individually but just examples of limitations so people were encouraged to draw away from cliches. Paul was right in that something like… -
Re: Building modular interiors question!
Hi Jordank95. Wall dimensions question: The best way to determine the needs you are talking about is to lay these pieces out in your 3D engine. Make a 3x3m pieces and compare them to the 4x4 pieces and see what works better for your project. 4x4 might be easier if you don't want to do fractions. Also you might need less… -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
Awesome, thanks for that! @EQ: Thanks a lot for the write up. I realize the examples for the problems of the tessellation method are just that: broken down examples and caveats to look out for. But I'd say that in many cases like the cylinder, you might have set up smoothing groups for the lowpoly anyway and could do a… -
Re: Help me to become a better 3D artist! :)
Well, "shouldn't have modeled" is a bit strong. I was talking more specifically about edges that could be removed. For example, you could remove the edges in red and add the ones in green to keep it all quads/tris. About modeling the circular piece, it all depends on how close it'll be see in game and at what angle. If… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Great work in progress, keep at it! Currently it feels like all your props and assets are made of 1 piece and are a similar colour. I know you're going for a frozen aesthetic. I really recommend you look at some reference on how frozen assets look. Usually they still read clearly, maybe have some snow/ice on it. Here a… -
Re: Baking issues, before and after baking normal map
Hi! By now you probably put your plan into action. When you're generally happy with the shading achieved by the modifier, you could apply it as a starting point. Personally, I define sharp edges while checking the mesh shading, placing UV seams at the same time (unwrapping in Blender). I had another look at the model, so… -
