Re: Arms & Armor: Questions & Answers
Reply by islipaway · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Arms & Armor, Chivalry: Medieval WorkshopQ: 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… -
Re: Toying around with normal map approaches
Heres pretty much the same example, using a realtime shader in max, that should be fairly representational of what you would actually see in a game engine. You see only the example that uses hard edges really gives you a clean result, the other two examples having pretty obvious smoothing errors. #3 isnt absolutely… -
Dwarf Pub Environment Scene
*This is my first attempt at an Environment Scene* For my project I wanted to focus in on the Warhammer universe and in particular the Dwarf world. Looking into the Dwarf world I was able to see that a running cultural theme of drinking and pubs in the Dwarf world. The theme of drinking and dwarves runs into real-life also… -
Re: Who else thinks gears of war 2 had awesome writing?
Not so much an example of good writing as so-bad-it's-good writing. And hey, I'm down with that. Army of Darkness is one of my favourite movies. You want an example of genuinely great writing in a video game? And there have been a few examples, but a game that really grabs you and rubs your face in it and shouts "yeah… -
Re: Building modular interiors question!
Hi Jordank95. Wall dimensions question: The best way to determine the needs you are talking about is to lay these pieces out in your 3D engine. Make a 3x3m pieces and compare them to the 4x4 pieces and see what works better for your project. 4x4 might be easier if you don't want to do fractions. Also you might need less… -
Re: Sketchbook: Selrahc
Looking like you have the basic silhouette going, you should consider the polyflow in the face, shoulders, and joints. For example in the elbows and knees consider using carrots to help them collapse better, you can look at a the polycount wiki for examples. Go to category Character> character modeling>topology and look at… -
Re: The Stupidity of Ignorant Humans in this World
You guys, it's called 'Natural Selection'. Humans that are too stupid to have a good sense of self-preservation must be allowed to exterminate themselves and thus make the human race stronger. Now, if enough people will follow the examples of Tubboy's examples (like the Exxon Board of Directors, for example), maybe we'll… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Great work in progress, keep at it! Currently it feels like all your props and assets are made of 1 piece and are a similar colour. I know you're going for a frozen aesthetic. I really recommend you look at some reference on how frozen assets look. Usually they still read clearly, maybe have some snow/ice on it. Here a… -
Re: TFlow - Motion Vector Generator
Truly fascinating stuff. I love how the motion blur (without the added frames) gives a remarkable "high end cinematic" look to the explosion example. As for motion smoothing, I think it would be good to see more NPR examples like the above, as well as perhaps some examples applied to stop motion footage (although I suppose… -
Rendering Tutorials?
Heyall. I'd like to improve my rendering skills. Like using the mentalray SSS shader for example. However I'm finding it difficult to find good tutorials that aren't high level and instead have direct examples of usage. How are you all getting into this stuff? I'm sure there are some awesome tutorials somewhere... I…
