Re: Do you ever think of making an impact on the world as an artist?
I guess to make an impact in Art you need to have a message, emotion or story and tell that through your work. you can look at some of the most revered paintings, films, TV, photographs, music, sculptures and books as example. From what i have seen the most common source of 'Impact' created in the 3D world is that of… -
Re: [FINISHED] Forest Ruins Environment
If you want the tree to be the first thing the viewer pays attention to, then it will need to either be the brightest thing in the scene (see the backlighting sun in some of your reference examples) or it will need a color that's different from the rest of the scene (orange lighting from a nearby fire for example). Right… -
Re: Oldschool thread
I have to take a bit of issue with the title of this thread and your examples of 'old school' games. No, I'm not going to say Doom 2 is old school. Your examples leave you with a a rather wide spectrum here. Quake 3 models were generally around 800 tris, and NWN was somewhat the same, as far as I know, if only due to NWN… -
Re: Low poly baking issues (NEW)
Hi! Here is a thread on the topic: https://polycount.com/discussion/81154/understanding-averaged-normals-and-ray-projection-who-put-waviness-in-my-normal-map/p1 Edit: Here is a quick test with a shape similar to your example, trying to illustrate the subject. Geometry is identical, but with example A, I transferred the… -
Re: Artifacts while baking AO.
Hey! Took a look at the file and the first thing I would note, is that the UVs are not good enough. This loop for example occupies only a few pixels - a bad bake is inevitable: Second note would be that the model is currently not very optimized. Lots of geometry that doesn't contribute to shape and shading. Some general… -
Re: TrackMaker for 3DS Max - Creating Continous Threads and Complex Meshes
yes that s the way to go, you can also select multiple geometries and one spline, so that you have more variety in your model. The examples are made with multiple tracks, for example the middle one is => 1 box on circle, snapshot that track, snapshot on a new circle, snapshot that one and that snapshot on a last circle :)… -
Re: Body Mechanics study... critique welcome
I think "jank" refers to the fact that the timing feels very inconsistent. As an example, around f136 he seems to pause during the landing, then he rolls extremely fast. Again at 381 his body shoots forward, not matching the action before it. There are many more cases, but these are 2 clear examples. As an overall note… -
Re: Tropes in Videogames
Another very hopeful sign is that when she mentioned that she would show counter-examples in the next episode, she flashed up a picture of Elaine Marley from the remake of The Secret of Monkey Island. This character from this game in particular is a prime example of subverting the Damsel trope. It is also an older game,… -
Ray marching - Chapter 1 - The very basics and all about the clipping
Ray marching has become a very popular technique these days among real time artists and developers, due to the crazily increasing hardware speed. It was widely used in the past too, but mostly in offline applications because of its computation requirements. But luckily now we can have a glimple in our real time renderers… -
