This post based upon OP's numbers here http://polycount.com/discussion/171689/pbr-the-problem-with-greyscale-metalness#latest: I have several questions regarding this metalness usage plus a real-world example to ask questions about: (BTW this is not for game engines and targeted for 3DS Max renderers and such) 1. We are…
I missread the OP. :# I think he meant inflating low poly. It's what I meant. Doing it to Hipoly is indeed weird.

That way it works in many renderers that are not supported by regular texture…
Amazing work overall. As for your request depends what you want to do with it. I would suggest story telling, and in that regard gothic goes hand in hand with dark/gloomy vibes.

Visible geometry when this is for example some advertisment.. and what shoes does your favorite hero wear anyway ? (Of course it would look odd when for example a soldier wears high heels.. :wink: )

Art is a big selling point to games, and I'm afraid all the work you've put in developing the mechanics of the game might not shine as it could. However, if it's a passion project and you don't have more than your time to invest in this, then…
Hi folk, I wanted to ask you about time management of yours. How exactly do you arrange your time every day for studying and working with 3D? Maybe you are using scheduled daily routine, or maybe it more spontaneously? Can 3D artist arrange your day without fatigue, or it's impossible thing to do? For example, one half of…
