More triangles ( atlas textures ) or small tilable textures?! Maybe this was discussed somewhere before but i didnt find it... Hey guys! I worked on a several titles in the last years but this questions is still not really fully answered in my head. Even my clients clouldnt clear this for me (at least not the ppl who were…
That's such a great visualization ! Straight to the point. Adding to the above comments, if this current body texture was to get scaled down to 1024*1024 (for instance if an hypothetical game was to be set to medium settings, or as the texture gradually loads and mips up during a cutscene), this is all that would be left…
Just to prove it's not anything in my material that's accounting for this. Here are the results of setting up a post process chain with nothing but a single material node. In that material I have nothing but a single Custom node connected to the emissive channel. The HLSL is just "return float3(0, 0, 0);" And here are my…
Usually people use distance, bevel or blur nodes and some blobs style noise multiplied on top of it to create some elevated edges around tears but it never looks very realistic really especially on walls. And requires lots of miss and hit . For wall paper tears bending down with air pockets and plaster bumps /wires pocking…
Experience depends on what I am using the mentor for. I don't think they necessarily need ten years experience in AAA if getting job there isn't my goal. If their art is good, it's good. Main thing important to me is earnestness, strong communication, and that mentor teaches by example. I used Georgian Avasilcuties…
I can say from character experience in experimenting with this about a year ago. It really is not a BAD approach to working. Take for example POV arms (first person arms) for a shooter. You could definitely have a fully uniformed/clothed arm and have it decimated for sure. Though you might wonder where do we draw the line…
So your single mesh can reference more that one UV/Texture set. For example, "Army guy" (humanoid with soldiers gear) can be split up into a texture set for skin and a set for gear, or everything can go onto one texture set. if you're targeting a lower spec system you may want to put everything onto one texture for reduced…
Hey all! Is anyone planning to take part in Pwnisher’s new DRÆM SEQUENCE challenge? It kicks off Saturday 31st Jan at 5pm (2026). I’m probably being a bit delusional, but I think I’ll give it a go even though I have zero time. And I will try my best to get my students to take part. :) Here is the challenge page…
I guess some of you failed to appreciate quality that came out of this places of higher learning even tho topics that contain 'recent graduate looking for advice and crit ' are very common So this ppl have done their diligence jumped through all the hoops to get a degree but don't have much to show for it without a single…
Thank you for your interest. Overview - 2D Concept artist - Freelance - long-term, low/mid frequency work My name is Kevin and I founded a startup called Crowbox to work fulltime on my first own video game project, felt unchallanged by the industry-work I experienced. Some prologue first I had this idea of a game some…
