Define your target plattform. We are still stuck in the XBox360/PS3 world. Modern video cards are 10x more powerful than Xbox360/PS3, still all modern games target first the XBox/PS market, then the PC market. Addtionally we had a shift in rendering technology in the last decade. From forward rendering to deferred…
I don't have much first hand experience with pre-rendered work, but I've heard that rendering in Maya can be a nightmare compared to max. The key is that as 3D artists we must build our assets to the specifications of the tech that is using them. Although your assets may have spec maps, that doesn't mean that they're…
My first game ready art. Took a while to finish as I only knew how to use Zbrush when I started and my anatomy knowledge isn't all that great especially female anatomy. The face in particular had a lot of revisions. Every time I learned something I would apply to this model. Lots of frustrations and back and forth stuff…
Hello! I am new in 3D, so I have a noob question about UVs, seams, and the following render in Arnold. Currently I am checking the following pipeline: 1. High poly in Maya. 2. Low poly in Maya. 3. UVs for the low poly in Maya. 4. Baking in Substance painter. 5. Exporting the textures back to Maya and rendering in Arnold.…
The final Cinematic My main focus was the camera angles and the movement of the cameras. I tried my best to render it in the highest resolution. I faced some issues like shadows disappearing and exponential fog not acting properly in renders. I edited the sequences and the sound very quickly. So I know the post-processing…
Towards the end of the modeling process I started to think of my final illustration. The last few projects I've done, I've taken them straight from Zbrush to Keyshot to render passes, and finish up with a paintover in Photoshop. This process has been popular for a number of years now and can be quite liberating in…
XRef's can be a bit buggy. Pitfall 1) Sometimes they'll stop updating when you update the source model. So its normally best to wait until you're done with an asset before placing it. If you're in and out of the source file making edits, there's a good chance it will freak out. When it does freak out, you'll close the…
by render window, i think he is expecting there to be something like scanline render or mental ray, and to ansswere your question ArchieVision you cant, VW is purley meant for modeling no rendering, so to render a scene move it to a other package or use a standalone renderer
Modeling: Maya Texturing: Substance Rendering: Marmoset Introduction: It's an in-school art test that I got from my modeling class. I'd like to get more advice to improve this model before I put it in my portforlio. Thank you! Reference: Artwork:
looks like an exposure problem. Are you using photometric lights? If so make sure to work in a proper scale. (set scale units to metric or inches) realistic lighting is based on realistic measures. That way you can really be sure of what you are doing. Also as a tip, create a matte arch and design material and put it in…
