Re: My development thread.
Not bad for a first sculpt. First ask yourself what it is about this sculpt that gave you trouble, you mentioned stretched polys, not enough detail etc. Make a list of these problems & do the research on how to solve them. For example, stretched polys & various other mesh deformities will accumulate overtime so I think… -
Re: Forever novice looking for suggestions/crits
+1 TwoListen The reason you are stuck on drawing cartoon characters is because the foundations are missing. Cartoons are the simplification/exaggeration of realism. You need to know it's there before you can take it away. It really is about how much you study, not just practice, because doing the same mistake over and over… -
Re: Nvidia vs ATI
The 5970 has issues with drivers. Too many people has problems with its perfomance in too many games. FFXIV is one example, but wait, ATI will fix the drivers making more bugs for other things :P For gaming assets, talking about Quadros, we need the newer quadros (the equivalent to actual gamer cards), and for their… -
Re: What does the Specular channel in UE4 actually do.
It makes sense to me but it helps to have some background as to why. (I'm not an expert so don't put too much weight on anything I say but I generally know the gist of things) The metallic value is for saying what type of material it is and what shader model it's using. I'm simplifying but a non-metalic material will have… -
Re: About topology for flat surfaces in the low poly
But does that ugly triangulation of the n-gon really matter tho? The shape is the same, and I know for this thread (http://polycount.com/discussion/81154/understanding-averaged-normals-and-ray-projection-who-put-waviness-in-my-normal-map/p1) that support loops can help avoiding waviness in the normal map, but for flat… -
Re: Character Animation Reel - Svein Ferkingstad
Hey SveinKF, I really like your reel! Really cool. I especially like the third scene. :) Although I don't have any specific feedback, maybe I can provide some food for thought instead. Regarding cycles in reels, I have also heard that some game studios don't care if you have cycles in your reel as long as the animation… -
Re: MMO World Design
I haven't seen a huge uptake of World Machine probably because it's results are a bit unpredictable. For instance, I know it was used to some extent on Lord of the Rings Online, which came out 7 years ago but there are still plenty of studios that preferred having artists/designers sculpt the play space. Typically you have… -
Re: What are you working on Animators? 2017!
Hey @laviofidelis, great start! There are a few things I noticed while watching that you could improve a little. Here's my input! Idle - Everything looks a little too straight, try giving the character a more interesting silhouette. Widen the legs a little and bring the arms back and out. Rotate the head slightly. Example… -
Re: Rant TIME!
That's nothing like Autodesk or other companies. They force you to update, because if you miss more then 2 iterations of say Max and such, you're forced to pay full price of 4K for the 3rd iteration of the software, instead of the 1K. Not to mention, you need to be subscribed and pay full sub-fee all year around, instead… -
Re: [UDK] Spaceship Interior
CandyStripes05, RILKE, & JamesArk- Thanks guys! MeshModeler- Yeah, I definitely agree. There were a few spots that I considered touching up even before I posted this, like the edges of those metal doors, but in my haste I forgot to do it. I gotta be careful, it's really tempting to get lazy with dDo, haha. I'll do another…
