Breakable environments discussion (56k warning)
So I figured it'd be good to discuss breakable environments. First here are some examples, some are procedural breakable objects, some are purely replacing unbroken objects with cut up meshes, and some are a mixture, it seems. Gears of War 2 tech demo/Unreal Engine 3 improvements (procedural mixed with various art assets?)… -

Environment : D-Day Cliffside
Hey guys... Created this environment for my high school "senior project" class. We each had to set a goal for ourselves and needed to accomplish it my the end of the school year. My goal was to create a 3d environment utilizing Maya and Photoshop that I could use as a portfolio piece. The poly count came to 24,693 faces.… -
Re: Is it okay to have weapons as part of portfolio of 3d environment artist?
In the context of your other threads and current portfolio I would advise against it. I would recommend spending your time and effort on a environmental hero piece that supported your environmental work. The hero piece becomes the focal point and direction for lighting, composition, layout, set dressing etc. Think: -… -
Re: Blender, hard surface and traction in the industry.
Back a few years ago I used 3DSMax a lot and also used a little Maya. In my opinion, 3DSMax is a better modeling tool that Mya and it is widely used in the game industry. In my team, most artist use 3DSMax. Maya has its strength but they are not on the modeling side of 3D. Personally I made the switch to Blender about 4… -

Re: Asking for some tips on modeling workflow/process of enviorments?
I feel a bit grateful before I got into environment modeling, I would draw storyboards a lot. So the transition felt somewhat easy knowing I was taking the same principles that made paintings good and applying them into 3D space. That said, making environments can still be an overwhelming task but still very manageable. I… -
Re: Need sculpting tips - Plants / Environmental
I did kind of stray away from the original design int he sculpt, and to comment on the poly count I managed to get it down to 664 tri's with the same shape and look. The normal map is 512x so I'm fairly sure its okay now for real-time use. I will try and get the shape right in a base mesh next time (I'll be doing that at… -
Re: [Portfolio] Josh Rife - Environments and Props
Awesome, I agree with those crits completely. I will implement the changes to the layout, ASAP in regards to showing larger textures. KILLINGPEOPLE: I see what you mean about lighting. A lot of the lighting end of things has been self-taught. As these are all viewport shots, would you have any suggestions for what to focus…
