Re: Environment scene Docks
ah, the night scene looks very promising ;) I would suggest that u add shadowmaps to the mesh right from the beginning if u r already testing some light. Shadows will change a lot your impression form the lighting. Floor has some patter feeling so u could maybe add some more IDs to create a trim along the edge or add a… -
Re: madonna
hipness by checklist: 80's nostalgia? check! free running? check! latest dance styles? check! fucking DDR reference? check! pretty baldly calculated. i'd be able to enjoy the excellent production if i couldn't her the echo of her fake british accent... and the video's well put together as well, but Madonna looks pretty… -
Re: 3dsmax navigation issues.
Yea the cutting thing isn't really a problem for me, I mostly use the insert loop function in polyboost. Which will be coming to Max2010 soon enough. As for the spline issue, that's great and I do that if I have geometry that's already the shape I want. I use it for trim, pipes, wires, zippers you name it... But often I'm… -
Re: Props for Games
Thank you, well tris are for the low poly and for any game. My high poly work is all quads yes. quads are important for not breaking/stopping edge flow and quads import into zbrush better. Tris = bad for high poly. You might have miss understood or misheard when taught that. Also, make sure to always-ALWAYS count tris for… -
Re: 3D Model for Game Question. Does more UV shells affect performance?
The real question is what is your texturing going to be. Like you might not even need to flatten everything all that intelligently if you are packing UVs into some swatches and gradients for some stylized looks. If you are intending to do stuff like bake normal maps from a high poly character sculpt, you'll just have a bad… -
Whats your favorite retopology tool?
I really like using an add on for Blender called the PolyQuilt tool which works very similarly to Maya's Quad Draw which I also like, but it has even more functionality since you can work in other modes beyond vertex (edges, tris, quads and n-gons) and because your doing this in edit mode, you have access to Blenders full… -
Sherlock's ~Concepts & Collaborations~
Hello there! I thought I would start a thread to share and collaborate on some workshop items. I have been making some concepts and done a bit of modeling as well. As I make more I’ll post them here, all feedback and suggestions are welcome! ~Concepts~ I decided to design a few pieces for Beastmaster since his workshop… -
Maya Ambient Occlusion help - faceted results
I've been bashing my head against the wall trying to figure out what it is that I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to bake out some AO for a lo-poly character and I always get a faceted result, like I have all my edges set to hard edges (no smoothing groups). I've done this a tonne of times in the past with far less dense mesh… -
Re: when to use megascans as an environment artist?
Had been very enthusiastic about megascan materials , company bought the subscription, I tried for quite a while and ended up hardly using them at all. Cover too small spans. Looking either instantly too repeating or otherwise too flat and characterless . Never right balance and extremely hard to tweak. Very few nice… -
Re: Frustrated with what's possible with game engines
If you're making images or movies, no need to work under realtime restrictions. If you're working on assets for use in actual games in production, realtime methods are still a requirement. Raytraced or not. It has to render at interactive speeds, period. And usually it has to do so across a range of hardware, so LODs. If…
