Re: Learning proper use of UVs in 3ds Max. Need help
In edit poly you assign material ID's to selections of polys. Then you create a multi sub-object material which is just a list of standard materials. I think you where confusing the UV channels with Material ID's? You would think they would allow material ID assigning in the UV editor but they don't... you have to do it in… -
Re: Going from noob to pro...
If you have experience with Max already I would stick to that, Max is used in the majority of game studios, though not by a wide margin over Maya. XSI would be third, and then there are a variety of lesser apps like C4D, Lightwave, and Blender, and some strictly modeling apps like Modo(though it does a bit more these… -
Re: 16GB or 32GB
I would say why not go one step further? 64GB's? If anyone asks you why, just tell to shut their faces up or you will format their hard-drives! Then again, it does depend on your work, I mean if you're not running a game engine with Uber Shaders, Rendering out Lightmaps, and working on a 2-4K texture at the same time,… -
Re: UT3 environment Daoist
Thanks for the feedback, will get as much of this feedback in as I can. Ambershee is mostly right. Most of the meshes are stock UT3 meshes but I am doing a lot of custom meshes and touchups of existing meshes. For most of the cliff edges in the play area I used custom meshes. A lot of meshes were reimported with correct… -

Re: I want to be a Enviroment Artist
Kwramm nailed it Polycount wiki is a wonderful resource as well. As your grow in experience consider Softimage, Lightwave, 3dstudiomax, Maya, Modo, Cinema4d etc. and of course blender is just as viable as these are all generally good base 3d programs that stem as the main pipeline (in most cases) After that look into… -
Re: Thinking about UDK Materials...
So it's really apparent in these two new renders that I now had a shadow artifact issue on three of the models with it being super-obvious on the one side edge of the box with the circular black vent. It LOOKS kinda like my light-maps are hosed up and UV clusters are too close together...but I'm pretty darn sure that they… -
Re: WIP Corridor environment - Critique needed
@Aboulicious Thanks for the feedback, I think I do need some stuff to help better break up the wall. I'll probably looks at making some more prominent leakage stains like in your paintover. @praesidenter Thanks you for the input. I was playing around with the idea of having the door slightly open, but I think using that as… -
Re: [WIP] Clock Tower Apartment (UE4)
Hey man, it's a pretty good start. You are right; lighting will make this look much better than it currently does. When I'm lighting, the first thing I do is look for my main source of light. Exteriors get a Sun, Interiors get one main light. Pay attention to intensity, colour and angle (if relevant) as those three… -
Re: The Environment Art of Halo 4
"The majority of the game was lit statically using a baked-in lightmap method. This static lighting solution allowed us to achieve very realistic lighting results with full global illumination and ambient occlusion. A specular term extracted from baked spherical harmonics helped bring out the forms in the modeling work and…
