Here are some "current gen" examples. Horizon Zero Dawn (don't mind the tech talk there's a short piece on tree creation towards the end): https://ubm-twvideo01.s3.amazonaws.com/o1/vault/gdc2018/presentations/gilbert_sanders_between_tech_and.pdf Here the bottoms of the tree have more detailed meshes because that's closer…
@Pep_mepla Nice progress! I find adding some smaller shapes early that break up large areas, for example some pipes or protrusions, can help with getting a better feel for the proportions. Keep it up :+1: @dspi Congrats on finishing the asset, I think it looks good. A note I have is that the edge of the liquid is pops out…
To me, AAA / AAAA is primarily a marker of budget and production scale, not a guarantee of quality or depth. Skull and Bones feels more like an example of how a long, complex production combined with live-service constraints can erode systemic depth, even when a significant amount of resources has been invested.
Hey there! I'm brand new to the animation stuff in Maya (basic knowledge). I would like to know more about how to animate first person and third person characters (Idle, Walk, Run, Jump etc.) Has anyone good learning resources for getting started in animations for especially first person animations in video games?…
Fair point, have you got any examples of where you can point this plagiarism out? I would like to see what this looks like and how different it is from the original, particularly with concept art. I am like a moth to a flame with this tech, while I don't like the lack of consent and acknowledgement to the original artist…
@FrankPolygon - that's an excellent breakdown/practical example and i feel like I've seen you do something similar before. I think if you got your examples and breakdowns together and made them into a sticky the world would be a better place. also.. its worth mentioning that if you're going to LOD the object then you…
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…
This age-old image shows an example with highpoly only: A example showing the baked result would only be of limited value, because the only significant difference there comes from the texture resolution, which will vary per asset. You could increase the texture resolution. However, even if that's an option it doesn't make…
Maybe it 's one of reasons why pro CG soft is still so monstrously inconvenient in general. There are few examples of nice tools and features here and there scattered among different soft . Mostly they are addons and plugins somebody did for free or cheep. So I don't believe in developers. I do believe in open source ,…
Q: If I created a set for an archer, would special arrows count as the secondary/special weapon? Do things like helmets and arrows have to be functional? For example - a cloth cap wouldn't save your head and a whistling arrow wouldn't do much damage but they may fit thematically in a set (not necessarily the same set, just…
