How do you guys go around texturing large game models like space ships etc? I mean, I can use a larger texture size(4096x4096) to hold the details but the performance cost and time taken for that process, i feel is not worth the trouble. After some research i came across a few posts here on polycount, about how large game…
Hey This is my second model i am working on to completion. I am taking rooster's concept: and i am creating a practice model just for fun. Here is a screenshot of how far I've gotten so far: I hope you don't mind Rooster but i can't draw for crap lol. Constructive Criticism is welcomed. Remember this is only my second…
Hi there, I wanted your guys advise on how I should be going about modeling hardsurface objects. I am quite stuck in a pure quad mentality which I realize is silly and I am starting to see the pro's to utlizing n gons. I did a quick model of a power socket piece to test two different methods of modeling. The first images…
Hi! Certainly a simple example would be best way to get familiar with how tangent space normal maps look/ behave and to set things up in the soft that's being rendered in. Checking the shared Painter file, it looks like the seam showing in that face area is exacerbated by seams/ discontinuity in the curvature map (and as a…
Thirding what Aesir and Daz said. I've heard that many art directors, when viewing portfolios and showreels (especially online ones) are likely to have their own music playing, so having music in your own reel is going to conflict with that, or at best annoy them. I wouldn't take the risk that one art director happens to…
Hi, To enhance my modeling skills I am looking to model a few characters. Anyone know of a website where I can get both front and side view of a concept character. OBV full credit will be given to the artist but its mainly for educational purposes as I wont be doing much with the characters. Just study modeling. Checked…
The thing I politely ask for you, is that you use your trained eagle eyes to ruthlessly critique these, and as a long time lurker I hope that we can create a some kind of longer lasting relationship, as I badly need some criticicing, as my only critics has been my gf and family. And by that I mean that you point what's…
Hi! Perhaps share some more information how you implemented this in the material. It's likely I came across works of Alex on AS, but am unfamiliar with his tutorials/ specific workflow. Best attach files that allow re-producing the issue (zip and attach to post). If you don't want to share the whole model, isolate an area…
