Re: Do any of you guys create 3D purely as a hobby or do work outside of games?
Outside of lecturing and brushing up on software I like to work on short term projects here are some examples, (thanks to the guys form Rewind for the UE4 stuff) 3D Printing (Example 1) VRX Experiences are good fun - (Example 2) 360 videos are also cool to work on - (Example 3) (Example 4). This year I am trying more of a… -
Re: [3D] How to unwrap spherical Visor so texture doesn't distort?
Have to agree with @Noren , @ZacD , and @pior : both the contiguous unwrap and compound curvature of the shape are contributing to the distortion in a way that's almost unavoidable with a [tiling] texture only approach. Lot's of good advice on how to proceed with different approaches from everyone in this thread. As far as… -
Examples of great prop artist portfolios?
I'm in the process of rendering out some pieces for my first portfolio and wondering what is the best way to display props. Anyone have some links to kick-ass prop portfolios? -
Re: Critique required on this 1911 pistol!
Roughness Definition I think one thing that could be improved is the overall roughness value of the metal. Most examples that I found on artstation have a higher roughness value. That way the scractches that have a significantly lower roughness value pop more. Basically a higher contrast between your roughness details… -
Modular Kit Usage Clarification
Hi all, I have a few questions around building and using modular kits for environment layout. 1. How critical is it for a modular environment to be fully closed off? Meaning, all assets snapping cleanly to the grid with no protruding geometry outside of the layout of the scene? In cinematic work, I’ve often prioritized… -
Re: Model Viewer (Programming Pimp)
Updated again, adding in ambient occlusion texture support. There isn't an example of ambient occlusion included. was testing with a model included as an example in xnormal. Once again the links are: Full Update including examples Just the Executable Edit: If anyone would like to include examples, feel free to email me at… -
Udim function collection and material templates
After seeing some posts asking about UE4 and udims, I decided to make some material functions and material templates for those people who would like to use this technique in their favorite game engine... Download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zzn7eb59i6b5q15/Udim.zip?dl=0 The collection contains: - 4 material functions -… -
Cool palette cycling examples
Saw this elsewhere, some amazing work with palette cycling from the early 1990's. http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/ I remember seeing this back around the time it was made and being amazed by it. It's amazing what you can do with limited colors. Someone also pointed out how Bungie used palette cycling for… -
Re: Trimsheet normals inverted when rotating UV islands
Rotating the mesh components doesn't necessarily have the same effect as rotating the normal map or the UV islands. If it did then tangent space normal maps wouldn't work on anything other than static objects because in-game meshes are often required to deform and rotate. The assumption that the UV islands and normal map…
