Re: UDK WIP - Space Station Dock - Need advice!
I second third and fourth this, one thing that is crucial is details and how they lead the eye, it's obvious that from this camera angle that the scenes focal point is in fact the light coming over the planet, that forcefeild obscures that and makes it just look damn cluttered, the level of detail and distractions is too… -
Re: Advices needed: overdone muscular character
That last image you found is a beautiful example. You can get so much info out of it. You can see how he uses flow and edges to define forms. Where the mesh is denser or lighter depending on the detail needed. It's a beautifl example of sub_D modelling. As for your model. I've been keeping track of this thread, and your… -
Re: Softimage/XSI- worth learning?
How do the rigging and animation tools compare with max? For example, can you just import a mesh from max, fire up face robot and work from there? Anybody rig any characters in xsi? How does it translate into making game assets, like say modeling and rigging a character to use in udk or the like? I've been looking at this… -
Re: Baking hair & fur from max using Projection
I'll do a test of two to see what can be done but for a quick answer it seems if you just spammed a bunch of splines /converted to polys / then mesh if you need them to be mesh, perhaps add a subd modifier into the splines if converting to poly's/mesh down grades them as you show in your example image. Then after the… -
Re: ArenaNet Environment Art Test - Practise
Oh my. You'll be happy to know that tiling textures are indeed awesome, especially when combiend with alpha cards and vertex painting.

Re: Does Unpolished Placeholder/Pre-Alpha Assets Help Sell A Game?
I'd imagine gameplay would be more important than art for a lot of people. I'm going to go ahead and assume most people thought Minecraft looked like garbage until they played it for the first time. Unturned is one of the most popular F2P games on Steam right now and the art looks entirely like programmer art. Both can be… -
Re: Art/Creative Direction and Symbolism
Here is an example of some symbolism, from The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway - The Sea According to Hemingway, man was most able to prove himself worthy in isolation. The sea, in the novel, represents the Universe and Santiago's isolation in the Universe. It is at sea, with no help and no recognition, that Santiago… -
Re: Anyone here work in a games studio that uses Substance Painter? Have a shelf setup question.
I would have the substance designer and substance painter shelves within the same directory so that you do not have to do that. When you designate a substance painter shelf it will create the folders that is uses to search for resources and categorize them. Most of those should already exist if your Designer directory… -
Re: Smooth Normal Map
No worries about noob questions on this one. Normal maps are a big topic, and have confused many people. Try this for starters: http://wiki.polycount.com/NormalMap/ The big thing about normal maps as you noted is that they are about angles. More specifically, they are about normal vectors; normal maps simply bend the… -
Re: Can Unity do this? [Realtime Archviz]
Hey man! For just advanced lighting you can get most of the info from the documentation, YouTube and papers people have written about it. But let me be straight. When you then have finally nailed the lighting. All you will have at that point is a clean GI and some baked lights & probes. This is not enough for the whole…
