Re: Maya UV Tools?
Hey Brian, sorry for that comment. Its obvious there's a lot of work in there, 10k lines of code is no joke. It was worth it for me. I'd say the reason for that comment is a lot UVNinja is accessing Maya commands through MEL. My issue with that is a lot of maya's UV commands are a bit unreliable. smoothUV sometimes explode… -
Re: Game Specific Animation Techniques
I would like to see less game animators using the standard boring Maya character rigs and at least put some effort into modeling their own stuff, or at least get some SDK characters (like the awesome SDK meshes here on pc) and rig them up for some animation. It just feels way off to me, seeing… -

Super Adventure Box tribute - Unity/Substance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nev5ip6-Dx0 Last weekend I took some time out to practise some asset production. I often find myself creating or learning something useful along the way when I do. What started out as a curiosity about using Substance Designer to create pixel art, ended up as a homage to Guild Wars 2's April… -
Re: [UE5] Lighting help needed! Jungle Scene
There is probably a way to use one image for lighting and have another show up in the BG, but I wouldn't use a foliage one anyway, just wanted to check. Depending on if there's something behind the camera, you might want to block that part of the scene in/off if it won't be seen at any point, so there's less light coming… -
Re: DFAO Specular Occlusion - Alireza's Art Blog
Tip 02 - PBR materials needs baked shadows and specular maps and here's why. It doesn’t matter if it’s Megascans or what, once imported in game engine you get average looking materials. In Megascans library you’re looking at renders on surfaces with tons of triangles. Every tiny detail is in 3D and it receives shadows plus… -
Weird problems with texture (with pictures!) (agisoft metashape)
Hello I made just a quick scan last year by my cheap old smartphone - Xioami Redmi 7A. Of some debris from a building renovation i went by by a chance. I loaded it into metashape, did high quality mesh from depthmaps and did texture (generic, mosaic, 8192*8192 px resolution), BUT (!). The texture came all "weirdy" and… -

Re: Lack of Environment Artists
I think whats tough about characters is that you have to get it right in that one shot you have. Environment artists have the luxury of many repeat attempts to get each piece right within a scene. And you can repeat that in reverse. The thing thats easier about characters is that you only have to do one at a time,… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | September - October (68)
Thanks for the response @dyceus ! I will certainly be using the method you described for my labels, it should also work for adding extra leaks to the jar models. I am using surface translucency volume for the lighting mode, below is my glass trim material node set up if that's helpful. I changed a couple things and I think…
