Re: PBR grass vs asphalt albedo/base color value?
The vast majority of the surface area in a 1m square of grass is near vertical and a pretty significant proportion of that is facing away from the viewer As such... if your light source (the sun) is on the other side of the patch of grass from you, any light going in has a relatively low chance of coming out in the… -

Re: Next gen Hoverbike (Looper)
Hey Ron! I must have missed your post, i finished the bike as an in game asset, it now looks like this: [SKETCHFAB]ad6f63cb5bf14ac98336e71a59964d31[/SKETCHFAB] more images of the bike, in other rendering engines, can be found on my portfolio page: http://pietervantorre.com/portfolio/looper-hoverbike/ Glad you liked it so… -
Re: Looking for retro games with an old rigging technique
"Quake 3 took a hybrid approach with the torso, head and legs being separate skinned meshes." That's not exactly true. In QIIIA the elements with smooth deformations (torso and legs) are not skinned meshes (as in, driven by a skeleton) ; they are purely vertex animations. They can of course be authored as skinned skeletal… -
Re: 3D Concept art
I'd say the first ones definitely look like concept pieces, and work well. The last one that you posted looks a little more like a polished render but honestly I like it the most. Might just be that I like the design the best :P but I think they all work well especially as concepts. Only critique would be that these look… -
Retopo of a dragon sculpt (beginner)
I made a dragon sculpt and I am now trying to make a retopo of it, intended for animation down the line.

Re: Character Artist Survey
[ QUOTE ] The advancement of LOD tools (meshlab rocks) have been a huge help in my workflow. It will never be 100% automatic, like soul said a program can't determine some key areas like the face, etc. But a powerfull lod tool in conjuction with hand tweaks really does the job much faster. [/ QUOTE ] our lods are all… -
Re: Raiji - 2D Character Design
Hi @Kinaya . Great work! I have some inputs categorized. Presentation: 8/10 Your approach of creating a rendered front, flat back, and a face is more than enough for a 3D artist to determine what they're looking at to produce. If you're showcasing a character for gameplay. Facial expressions isn't that relevant. Usually,… -
strategies for dealing with OFPA bloat and perforce?
Yesterday I was happily laying out buildings in my city map and managed to generate a single p4 changelist with over 180,000 files in it. The number of actors in my level isn't a problem in itself, where I'm getting issues is that p4 does not like having 180,000 files in a changelist and the resulting upset seems to be…
