I'm curious to hear peoples ideas on how to approach windows for shops/bars/cafe's etc in street scenes for example. Specifically for buildings that won't be entered by the player, but may be viewed up close. Looking at examples in games I've played, it seems the common approach is either an image straight onto the window…
Years ago I loved that cool 3d max plugin but since they inserted it inside , I no more able to use it. Kind of example of "better is enemy of good" Slow, hardly interactive, over complicated and too low level for an artist with a lot of puzzles and choices irrelevant to art tasks. In a word I'd like to find an alternative…
I understand that you are referring to the fact that the Instanced Static Mesh feature did not exist in versions prior to Unreal Engine 4, specifically UDK 3 and earlier. In UE4 version 4.10, it was already possible to manually instantiate one or several meshes, although this method might not have been well-known in 2015.…
Thanks. But back to my question -- lets say I couldn't contact you buy you had some images you've created that are perfect examples of a point I am trying to make. Would you care I had used it? I mean, you've posted them to a public forum and no money is being made, so I reckon its technically "okay". But morally, and…
Yea i saw the lighting examples, although i'm unsure how i'd go about doing that? If i go any darker, there will be pure black in the texture, and if i go any lighter, there won't be enough tonal variation to make the glowing lava parts stand out... I overlayed a white gradient starting at the face which faded to dark…
For those example props, I'd say 100 - 1000 dollars is about right, depending on volume of work. A single elaborate fountain might be close to 1k$, but with a contract to do 20 or so of them, 500$ per elaborate asset might be fine, since there would be some reuse of decorative bits and there would be a streamlined…
(UPD), I've modeled and textured a locker and some pipes and added them to the scene since the last post. I've also looked into vertex painting / texture blending, but I'm unsure how it applies to a modular kit, since it appears vertex painting would be used once the room and objects had been placed together in order to…
Our mobile game studio is looking for a highly talented horse sculptor, along with a low poly horse modeller and a PBR horse texture artist. The quality of your work must be professional and not that of a hobbyist. Below is an example from another game to demonstrate the level of quality we require. A detailed brief will…
Hi, I'd like to share this freelance opportunity with you guys. We are looking for a character artist who would be interested in making models, textures, and animations for a mobile AR Game. We can discuss specific details later on, for now I'd like to take a look at samples of your work and possibly get a quote per asset.…
Maybe a bit offtopic and i do not want to rant: Isn't this exactly "the problem" also in other areas (even other "industries") ? "The industry" does not define clear standards (and also the management fires everyone doing the real work).. So not only the newbies does not know what to put into their portfolio but also the…
