Re: portfolio props
512x512 isn't bad for your portfolio, as you want to show off your texturing skills. But depending on the game the amount of texture space you should use for that varies wildly. If it was a player-held prop, like say a third person game where you can beat people with it or throw it, 512x512 would be okay. If it's just… -
Re: Game Art Props
it looks to me that this might already have a normal map applied, but it definitely would be helpful to see some wires. I say that it looks like its already been baked because those look like seams along the outer edges and those circular indents appear to flatten out as you look down the beam. Also i don't believe you… -
Re: FPS polycounts
The more technical details you can provide, the better ballpark figures the members here can throw at you. Telling us the expected player count range is a good start. 4 - 24 players is nothing to sniff at in an on-line fps shooter. You don't want too high of a polycount if you are expecting to have a lot of players.… -
GroupID and other baking issues (3.04)
Hey, Apologies if these issues have been covered elsewhere, but I figured this would be a good place to report some issues I've come up against in 3.04 (and maybe find some workarounds/answers). It appears that any change to the FBX that contains my high and low poly (all named for baking groups), results in the colours in… -
Re: I need portfolio help for college admission.
Your portfolio really doesn't have a focus at the moment - a few pieces in several different media. You should think about what you'd like to do and focus the portfolio. I don't know the requirements or coursework for your college(s) of choice, but what they generally want in a student is passion. For your 3D models,… -
Re: Abandoned places in the world.
It's a direction I see just about everywhere, professional games included. A few companies have taken notice that too much is too much and started to dial it back to realistic levels. That would explain why Chernobyl is overrun with plant life, or plant life rebounded after the initial blasts at Hiroshima? Is that why the… -

For teaching purposes can you kindly donate any current gen assets?

It will give them a chance to pull the product apart and explore them in there own time. While lecturer staff do come up with material and we employ Visiting Lecturer staff to help do the same the more… -
Re: Character-Retopo, merge and/or combine meshes
So with the way dynamic cloth works in Unreal, you paint a mask for the parts that are to be simulated so it doesn't need to be a separate object or element. You just paint in the part that should simulate in the cloth tool. If you break it into separate objects that creates another draw call. Which you might want if… -
Re: bad ass merc character
Ok, here comes a serious crit, that might sound harsh, but it isn't meant that way. It IS meant to help you, so remember that. All the forms you're showing here are wrong. You seem to have the idea of what you want, and some basic knowledge of the program, but you're sorely lacking in artistic know how. You seem to have…
