Alex_J Well, that's the thing... How do I make good artwork without making good art, and how do I make good art without good modeling AND texturing because if i post acceptable models with bad texturing wouldn't that lower my chances of getting hired ?. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining, I just need some guidance and…
Hi! Cool to see an update. I must say though, the shading on the terminal still looks off, like the normal map is not working with the mesh shading. I would doublecheck against the shading in your texturing app that all looks as intended in engine. If you want a second pair of eyes on it, feel free to share files (for…
Thats fine but focus on geeting every proportions right and the same feeling of the concept - for example the stairs - they are 2 inclimbs going up with flat walkway between where the arch is. the staris are not that steep so you can have the nice depth and view of the second arch and builings down the strteet. the street…
There's at least three separate types of baking artifacts present in each of the examples above: * Pixelation / jagged aliasing in the normal textures. * Bright highlights around UV seams and hard edges. * Dark shadows around the inner and outer edges of shapes. * Wavy edges around around the outsides of the cylinders.…
In the top row example is the Painter default "painted steel" material as is. I did for both of the examples paint in a mask to wear through to the metal underneath. In the bottom example I took a basic color color and placed a fill texture in (BnW spots 2). Does this read as painted metal? Can you tell what it is or are…
Oh, one more thing... As you your boot is quite square and stylized, i'm guessing you'll want to keep certain edges sharper, in that case, it's all about strategically placing loops on your base mesh. experiment putting loops where you wants sharpness, go back and forth until you are satisfied. *keep in mind also how you…
Since you mention naming and design. An interesting example would be dota and dota2. Dota originally being a warcraft3 mod and using the warcraft 3 heroes/names/some spells. Hero models: all of the hero models are basicly copied from the original designs, wich are all warcraft3 models. I probably wouldn't advice this,…
depends how you want to drive it the simplest way is probably to use a tile sampler set tiles to many in x and 1 in y plug a noise map into scale and have it only affect the y axis (pretty sure you can do that) if you want full control you'll need to dig into pixel processors and/or fx-maps I dont have any really good…
In my spare time, I am developing a 3d game engine for iOS devices and hopefully also Android as soon as most needed features are implemented. My engine iSDGE is based on OpenGL ES 2.0 for rendering, features my own (not yet very optimized, but very comfortable to use) math functions, uses bullet for physics simulation and…
In most use cases, mid poly modeled with appropriate detail will serve as both the source and target mesh, without the need for a conventional high to low poly bake workflow. In other words Substance Painter for example, enables the user to self-bake their mesh maps. Anyhow check out these comprehensive tutorials which…
