Your work is really cool sickleadzdk! :) Are there any license requirements to use your work? I would for example like to use some models for a mod I'm working on but don't want to get license issues... ;)
@Thatsimokid I think the best looking way to model a knot would be to make it as close to the real thing as possible. You could make a knot out of a curve and then extrude it. Like this (little rope thing as an example): to
man there are SO many great myths to explore. pretty much the entirety of Homers work (not Scott Homer) is fantastic... the death of Heracles could be awesome too... even the earlier times, the fall of the titans to the Olympians for example.
Good read. The only thing I'd add is that it can be important when you post your work as well. For example, if I post something to Artstation at 11pm PST, most of the East Coast + Europe is sleeping.
It all depends how realistic you want it to be and what renderer you're using. Are you going with mental ray or vray? Also, if you can show that IKEA example, it would help us help you.
Yeah also, on the Imgur page click on "Get embed codes". Easier than the Insert Image button, you can just paste the BBcode into your message For example: [ img]http://i.imgur.com/CKQOenL.png[/img]
Ok, so for an average game spec, trace over what you have with some basic geometry with something a bit like this. You can certainly go higher if you want to, this is only a quick example.
Keep this thread alive! How about those Witcher 2 rocks! Simply amazing texture work. Nice work Skyway. I like the Unique texture example the best. EDIT: What is vertex AO?
Hey masterchuck, it's all about having a good lighting, with GI or final gather on and then bake all that information into a texture. But as the other said,, it's all about the light management! heres a nice example: [SKETCHFAB]3aa64527d1614998b4812bfefbbc896a[/SKETCHFAB]
Thank you so much for the reply I really appreciate it. so It seems to depend on the model ? Hmm interesting. If there's any example you/or anyone else could provide or more insight I'd greatly appreciate it
