Hello, not sure if this issue has a name already but I suffer from this quite often and I would like to know if it can be avoided. The issue i talk about occurs for any PBR material which has different Smoothness/Roughtness values on it. When there is an area on a texture which has high smoothness next to an area which has…
We are creating a vertical slice of our game Novaborn: Crusade of Victus. We are trying to figure out a good art style that fits the Novaborn universe. We have a 3D model that we want to be painted similar to the game Spellbreak. There would also need to be some understanding of vertex normals to help the model work with…
you can mask by UV position - just mess with the texcoords (eg. clamp them - theres better options but I'd need to have the editor open in front of me to do it) and use the result as a mask for a lerp (don't use switches/branching, its very bad for gpus) edit: knocked an example up in designer instead. this will give you a…
Ambitious project! I'm looking forward to the progress. I see that you've added sidewalks in the streets, is there a worldbuilding reason for that? Cause I've never seen any in european medieval town. If you look at photos of Montpellier for example, which is where I'm from, the historical center has no sidewalks because…
I have noticed that 3d takes a lot of time. For example, at the start of my 3d journey, I modeled Daewoo Tico in 100 hours: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/0ngAey My other works on Artstation also indicate work time, so that one can compare.

(UPD), I've modeled and textured a locker and some pipes and added them to the scene since the last post. I've also looked into vertex painting / texture blending, but I'm unsure how it applies to a modular kit, since it appears vertex painting would be used once the room and objects had been placed together in order to…
Hmm. An Architects Guide to Creating Expressive Game Environments Pretty interesting overall. A few parts felt a bit dry to me but the examples she went through (Bioshock, Dark Souls, etc) were pretty spot on. Both of the Lawbreakers talks (Surrounded by 800lb Gorillas+ 360 art direction) were great. The former is…
Oh- thanks you so so so much- This has been the hardest part of low poly for me: trying to understand just how much the silhouette should affect the topology. Especially since in alot of examples, I see the normal/bump mapping doing so much heavy lifting. Would you by any chance happen to have an resources on what goes…
Just make sure you have reference and that you persevere, the only way to get better at this is practice, perhaps avoid tutorials and just look at examples of other peoples work, you kind of need to develop your own technique when hand painting. More specific critique - again, look at reference, cracks in stone are usually…
