Aaaah, feck it. EDIT: OK, so this is the question I have now, why don't people create the correct tangent 'bakers' for their software before releasing it? It doesn't make sense, atleast make the information easy to access so people know. I just found out today thanks to EQ that UDK is NOT synched with anything except Max's…
I have to say the biggest thing as a community I ever see as far as getting people to budge/ work together has been hard competition. As pixelmasher said On the opposite side of the coin we see alot of artist who act like they dont know there bad ass, post a few beauty renders, and then every kid from hobbiest to AI post…
I think one of the main atributes which seperate computer-games from other kinds of media is the interactivity. No matter what kind of game you play, you always have choices to take and interactions available. For the field of story-telling I'm missing the fact, that my interactions in the virtual world really reflect on…
So I took a look at your substance. From my perspective it seems that your are a bit confused by the resolution system of Designer. It seems you want to output textures at 4K, but Designer works in your ram to be efficient. When I opened you graph my computer consumed a total amount of 15gb of ram. This can result is some…
@Neox Substance Designer can be used to make shaders, MDL for example and there's ongoing work to integrate MaterialX. To the OP, we have lots of resources to help with understanding how Naughty Dog does their textures: https://polycount.com/discussion/122359/the-last-of-us-art-dump-rogelio-olguin/p1 Great post from…
Maybe a bit offtopic and i do not want to rant: Isn't this exactly "the problem" also in other areas (even other "industries") ? "The industry" does not define clear standards (and also the management fires everyone doing the real work).. So not only the newbies does not know what to put into their portfolio but also the…
Hi there once again! I have been very grateful for all the contacts I have made with my previous job offerings, so I would like to offer this job here as well: Turn character designs into animations. I already have 1 great animator working on this, but due to time constraints on her side, it would be great to have 1-2 more…
I'm glad you find it useful. There's a lot of scripts, shaders, lighting, LODs and Unity settings all working together so it's a challenge to explain it all clearly. To qualify everything I write: I'm not an engineer and I don't pretend to be. I work closely with them, I do a lot of scripting but I stay out of their code.…
Hello everyone, I'd like to know your opinion on the widespread use that many developers are making of Megascans (to name one example) and other paid or free asset packs in their one-person or small-team development projects. It's not just once or twice or three times that I've recognized the same asset pack in different,…
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR. For this portfolio piece I wanted to get inspired by the crafty, impossible yet believable weapon designs of these games. What better than C4 attached to something like a…
