Re: Aspiring 3D Environment artist: Give me a reality check.
Everyone else's advice seems solid, the one piece I can give you is make sure your stuff is fully textured and finished when put in a portfolio. High-poly models without textures on any of them on a portfolio gives off a feeling of a lack of understanding of a certain aspect like texturing or the ability to finish a… -
Re: cartoon shadows are saturated
That's absolutely true. In some cartoon renderings I don't see that being used, though. Just dropping the L* slider value to get a shadow tone will only work in some cases. You guys mention how important coloured illumination (or coloured ambient light) is. After analysing some more toon media and those previous images… -
Re: Twitch Revenue should be shared with Game Devs?
....you guys realize publishers are actively going out of their way to pay streamers and youtubers thousands of dollars to review, feature and play their titles right? it's called influencer marketing and its still super under priced to the point of being hilariously cheap win for anyone with a marketing budget or who… -
Re: Brampton Bus. Next gen AAA prop for my portfolio.
Hi OP you are a lot like me so my advice is this, please open the weekly hard surface challenge thread, open monthly noob thread and do them. On critique, I feel like you should give up 3D art or have a serious look at what you are doing. You should only be doing weekly hard surface challenges or monthly noob threads. Lets… -
Re: Theming a Level
Well... about a few months ago I read a couple of articles about emotions and how you can convey them in games (I guess one of them was a talk from David Cage). Disclaimer: By no means I say I am the best regarding this subject, I am just stating what I have managed to collect while I tried to search for this subject… -
Re: to sculpt or not to sculpt
some interesting points raised here. wizo thats good advice. I need to stop fiddling and just finish stuff even if its a bit lacking in someway. Pior i agree about sculpting programs not really emulating real clay. I mean who uses a brush to sculpt with :) Joking aside I feel it would be nice if you could have some hybrid… -
Re: Portfolio needs updating
Looking at your site, the first thing I see is that there's not much in the way of finished stuff in there. I know what you're saying about being bad at keeping up and finishing things is almost like a discipline in itself. I'm revamping my portfolio myself at the moment, so I know where you are coming from. In your… -
Re: Using lighting in UDK
Yes. There is no "use xy amount of lights" like answer, you should use as much as needed. You should place the lights to the light sources only (as you said, sun, lamps etc) because the another part of the lighting (bounces-gi) will come from the lightmaps. Light sources in UDK can do both static and dynamic lighting at… -
Re: Best book for game development
Find out what this game tool can do and how it does it. Then do the tutorial that shows you how to build your first scene. You might want to check out ogre 3d as well. To be honest there really isn't a book out there that really cover this. World building is world building. It's different for every project. 1. make half… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Bram Eulaers - environment art - lots of new stuff!
Eek! A lot of replies =) , thanks everyone! I've been trying a variety of techniques, it depends on what kind of rocks you want of course. Usually I create a tiling texture by baking out a sculpted mesh or even use crazybump for it, combined with a normal map painted by hand to get better geometry feeling and less…
