Re: Advanced Rendering
This is mostly about lighting. Materials need to be tweaked to support the lighting and rendering, but mostly you need to learn how to light a scene. We have some good resources here about lighting http://wiki.polycount.net/CategoryLighting The help file in Max is a good place to start, for scenes like your examples above.… -
Re: Why to choose Faces or Tris for modeling? Pros vs Cons?
Zbrush has a unusual 3d context. It's not displaying polygons like any other program. So it complains because of that. The problem with any polygon that isn't a tri is that you have to convert to a triangle to display it. This doesn't matter if the polygon is planar but if you have a non-planar polygon it can have several… -
Re: World Machine tutorials?
I can't help you with tutorials but what i did is to open the examples and macros then analyzed and reverse engineered what they do. Going through the documentation step by step is also helpful. If you're familiar with node based material editing in UDK or UE4 for example you will find thers a lot of similarities with what… -
Re: guns, lots of guns
I wasnt trying to say you were wrong, because you arent. Your example was quite clearly an observational mistake on my part, I just thought that your particular examples warranted further discussion. I wasn't dismissing the crit. Also, I think that at least some of the 'flat spec' crits are down to the lighting setup in… -
Re: Bunker level kit (W.I.P) feedback wanted
(UPD), I've modeled and textured a locker and some pipes and added them to the scene since the last post. I've also looked into vertex painting / texture blending, but I'm unsure how it applies to a modular kit, since it appears vertex painting would be used once the room and objects had been placed together in order to… -

EA Mythic - 2D/UI Artist & Tech Artist/Rigger
EA Mythic, home of a multitude of Polycounters, is looking for two artists. We're flexible enough to look at both experienced candidates, and folks new to the industry. These are potentially both great entry-level positions if you're looking to "get your foot in the door" (although we prefer experienced, technically… -
Many faces of Procedural Generation: Determinism (classification system, part 3)
Welcome to the third part of this Procedural Generation (aka ProcGen) classification series called “Many faces of Procedural Generation”. To see the previous part click here. In this post we’ll talk about a classification system on the possible deterministic aspects of ProcGen, which makes sense especially for run-time… -
My Character Art video tutorial series now online!
In collaboration with CGCircuit, a new site that allows you to monetize your own instructional content, I just released the first two videos in my four part series about 3d Character Art. You can find the videos here: VOLUME 1: Introduction & High Res Modeling Theory - ~1.5 hours - includes female base mesh - FREE VOLUME… -
Re: How to polish this gas bottle / welding cart asset?
Rather sparse - doesn't give you much to choose from. It doesn't have to exact matches to the model. For worn paint on metal you can search and use anything made of both materials - with different levels of wear. For example you might find some nice images searching through abandoned vehicles, or well used tools. The same…
