Re: Necessary budget for building a PC to become a 3D Game Character Artist
It's absolutely not necessary to go buy a giant workstation to make 3d models and hasn't been since about 2008. You can probably do the work you need to do on that machine quite comfortably - I used a worse one when I was working on first party PS4 titles. You may want more ram for zbrush but in general I'd suggest not… -
Re: Rickenbacker Bass Guitar
I decided to re-assess my this pieces' textures ... again :) The original was too plain. The second was too overly chipped and the wear was too "painted on". I have learn much about texturing since then and I believe this is a major improvement. Less chipping, more roughness variation and more based on real examples. I'm… -
Re: Артефакты в unity
Hi! Don't know what happened when you beveled the edges. If you did so using modifiers, I would double check the result in Unity or reimport the export, to make sure UVs didn't get messed up. Attached you find two examples illustrating what I meant previously (another loop on flat area, then have lightmap wrap around… -
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: Trim sheets. How to use them?
Alright, so you're suggesting in a case like this to make a bunch of bricks that are mapped to blocks instead? But let's say I want to create a large block for an example, it would require to much resolution for being uniquely unwrapped and wouldn't have the necessary details with a tileable texture. Or would you go with… -
Re: ZBrush 4R2b
they've had a version of this since Zb4 as a material, Fibers1. this looks like pretty much the same thing except you apply it as a surface like noise instead of a meterial that only shows up in the render. There appears to be a bit more control over manipulating it, using the move brush etc, but the dog example was the… -
Re: Creating a good metal texture or: My metal is not metal enough!
Yes I was suggesting putting a power node between the cube map and the multiply. It functions as a contrast enhancer, leaving the brighter portions less touched than the darker portions. Brighter areas of a scene reflect better than darker ones as they have more energy they can lose to the material and still be reflected.… -
Re: A new modeling tool released
i really jsut want to have it so you can make your own radial menus, and be able to make them with 2 to 8 slots in them instead of just 8. when i get time, im going to make some example videos of some features and UI enhancements, using other apps like modo, and maya etc and talk about possible ways it these enhancements… -
Re: Curve texture stretching
Well the nature of the problem is simple. If you texture on a straight object and then bend it, the texture will stretch on the polygons that get wider and compress on the polygons that get thinner. That's the basic logic. If you texture on an object that is already curved, then there is no stretching or compressing to be… -
Re: A good place to start?
Short list. Can explain later or if asked: Game Dev programs across the world would like game art for their student game projects. Quality will vary. Good example (full disclosure: I art directed on it): The Maestros at USC Games. We had ~25 volunteer artists at any one time Indie games on places like TIGsourxe or…
