It's absolutely not necessary to go buy a giant workstation to make 3d models and hasn't been since about 2008. You can probably do the work you need to do on that machine quite comfortably - I used a worse one when I was working on first party PS4 titles. You may want more ram for zbrush but in general I'd suggest not…
Thanks EarthQuake I am not trying to diss on Marmoset or dDo I do love them both. I am however creating small scenes at the moment (with UDK & Cryengine) with different ideas for my portfolio and I would like to see some examples. For example single assets I will use marmoset & dDo but I also want to show them inside the…
Take all the following with a grain of salt, but here's my feedback from my short moonlighting career as a lighting artist: Its becoming more common with this generation of game development. It'll probably be even more so in the next generation. It's often not just a 'place and tweak lights' job though, as often you'll be…
In a rare moment where I disagree with Pior, I have to say that is a pretty bad example of lighting and rendering. The shadows are all washed out and uniform, it makes it hard to see exactly what's going on. Looks like a ZBrush screen grab, which in general is not great for showing off modelling skills, unless you spend a…
So ive come across a problem baking 32bit maps in marmoset. Im not 100% sure whats going on but it seems the colour profile of the psds are wrong. The files load in and appear much brighter than normal. Baking 8bit and 16bit is fine. 32bit exr bakes from xnormal for example work fine. examples below, Im hoping its…

In an environment art portfolio how important is it to show that you can work modularly? As of now I am building two full scenes and I was then going to hilight some of the more interesting assets. I am of course going to do a few texture and tri breakdowns for these assets. Is it important that I include some examples of…

The diffuse color is basically a mask for the strength of your thin film. As you head towards white, it decreases. So what is your diffuse color for the glass? Clear glass usually is 255 white. Then you can add Fog Color to increase the glass color where it gets thicker. Effects like this, where we are seeing further…
