Re: BRAINSTORM: Ideas for personal projects
This thread is great!My thoughts: --A set of 'modular' spaceships for a pirate faction.This set would include 4 or 5 types of fighter class spaceships in a variety of weakest to the strongest one.The key feature is to make most of pieces modular(obviously need some unique pieces).Think as weakes ship has one engine and… -
Re: Low Res Environment
Good work, I like what you have done. Some very good crits so far also. Just to add to them a little; - The pole tops have a texture assigned to them, if the player is never going to see the tops of the poles then get rid of that part of the texture and use it for something else. - The street lacks the normal wear and… -
Re: The Italian Job
Its an interesting scene but i think the lighting could do with a lot of work. The second reference shot you posted would be a good place to start. Examine the light and where they are placed and how it falls on objects. Try to replicate it. Hopefully this will help you scene in terms of atmosphere. Seconding your textures… -
Re: Sketchbook: MrHobo
Lot of stuff happened and I put this down for a bit. Picked it back up over the summer and then put it down again for a ramp up at work... Then I paused it again so I could spend 6 weeks making my GF a gameboy game (complete with cartridge, instruction booklet and box) for her Birthday. Learned a lot doing it.… -
Re: Settling on program workflow for Unreal
You have the same mesh duplicated 4 times, so the UVs are going to duplicate 4 times which is what you are seeing. Those logs should be one mesh, one UV sheet, one highpoly. You're going to continue to run into problems if you don't understand UVs. Get that sorted first do a fairly simple hero prop all the way to… -
Re: Final Fantasy VIII - Balamb Garden
Thanks. Next issues. Keep in mind this is my first time dealing with modular pieces snapping together. With the first image, I figured out how to evenly use edge connects on a big 128 sided cylinder to turn it into 8 snapping pieces. Then in the second image I realized I still need to curve the height planes out. Even… -
Re: Portfolio Redesign + DM_Zest + Making of Article
Thanks everyone! @shotgun: I think you are mistaking the Zest UDK scene with dm_zest. Although they share the same name and textures they are totally different works! @snow: I plan on doing a writeup about that environment as well so I'll get more in-depth later. But most of the wall and ceiling pieces were created with… -
Re: When to normal map and when not to normal map
Generally no, you would not create a unique high poly mesh for something as large as a building. The primary reason for this is that you would never be able to give it enough texture resolution. Just think about it for a second, you've got an entire building using something like a 4K texture and a character standing next… -
Re: ALIEN (1979) Evironment - INT-Fusion Grid Hallway - Unused art from movie
That's what I meant about "older" sci-fi when I started my own scene. It often has a clarity of design - some would call it simplicity - and a still organic appearance, which beats the shinyness and sharp edged style of most contemporary sci-fi. If you try painting something like this you will find it is actually harder to… -
