@Dmorgan A good example of what I mean is klamante's post earlier in the thread. Much of the detail in their finished piece doesn't come from the 3D model itself but instead the texture applied to it that they then painted the details onto manually. https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2798001/#Comment_2798001 You'd…
Roxxor, this is absolutely awesome feedback, thank you so much! I feel as if I’ve already got a job :) )) But seriously speaking, with your feedback I can make a very good study plan for myself and continue developing. Without understanding where to go, it can sometimes be very frustrating. Right now I actually have time…
Hi! I’m looking for advice on implementing a game asset like this. It’s a platform made up of several objects placed tightly next to each other, forming a single surface. I’m interested in methods to texture-paint such an object as shown in the screenshot. I want to achieve a seamless surface — say grass, a meadow, or…
I agree with @killnpc that having an artist to deal with all of this could help. 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…
Can you post a shaded wireframe of the model? For example: https://polycount.com/discussion/63361/information-about-polycount-new-member-introductions#make
nice sketch swiz, for the face though, you might want to change the angle of her head so it's not a direct face-on stare at the viewer. maybe nsfw example 1 maybe nsfw example 2 maybe nsfw example 3
Added convex / concave separation, and its working on both normal map and vertex normals. Example with beveled edges (vertex normals): Example with a normal map input: And an example with some noise texture break-up and convex only edges:
hey! nice project you have here, looking cool! I did an overpaint below ( sorry for the messy quality :D ) I think you are on the right track, here are a few things you could consider! by reducing the contrast where two different materials meet ( for example the pant of his backpack, as it touches the fur ) you can guide…
I just ready this and I might haved missed it if mentioned, but it would be nice Normal Map generation tools that are friendly for game art, ie you could flip normals whatever way you want and you could easily tell the baker the way you want things mirrored. Realtime shaders that support mirrored uvs. A more streamlined…
Like this for example: The only way I can see to make something like this is manually by making a lot of boxes and filling each one. There has to be a quicker way, right? There are some palette generators online but they only produce a handful at a time and seem geared towards home decor. I'd like to be able to designate a…
