Re: Artist exercises. (Formerly: Upping the ante on our next challenge(s).)
Zwebbie: You're getting hung up on examples of limitations. That list was examples. For instance: Don't use the colour grey. That's a limitation. I wasn't specifying them to be cliches individually but just examples of limitations so people were encouraged to draw away from cliches. Paul was right in that something like… -
Re: importance of LODs in game ?
Auto LOD is included in every major game engine and it can be good enough in most cases until it isn´t anymore. Like for example eyes or hair pieces which are suddenly missing. (these four examples show an active Auto LOD without the included Distance where it occurs) Depending on when those issues pop up, you could do… -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
Awesome, thanks for that! @EQ: Thanks a lot for the write up. I realize the examples for the problems of the tessellation method are just that: broken down examples and caveats to look out for. But I'd say that in many cases like the cylinder, you might have set up smoothing groups for the lowpoly anyway and could do a… -
Re: Critiques my Blender 3D Environment please
Hi! Looking good already. Perhaps some straight lines could be broken up and sharp edges beveled. Then possibly some break up and variance on large, unform areas, here cabinet and beams. If would like to push it further, I think another 'personality pass' would be good. For example: the favorite pillow is patched.… -
Re: Help me to become a better 3D artist! :)
Well, "shouldn't have modeled" is a bit strong. I was talking more specifically about edges that could be removed. For example, you could remove the edges in red and add the ones in green to keep it all quads/tris. About modeling the circular piece, it all depends on how close it'll be see in game and at what angle. If… -

Re: Portfolio Review - Jeremy Chapman
Personally I would say to try and make it a bit more focused towards the area of work you would like to go for, and perhaps make a seperate portfolio for say your graphic design and 2D/sketchbook stuff. Also make sure to have sufficient breakdowns of everything, like making sure to include wireframe shots, and examples of… -
Re: Rich Diamant using Substance Designer
Indeed the examples shipped with the tool are very basic and were made a looong time ago using only noises... Here are a few assets I've been working on recently. It's good to keep in mind that noises are not everything and SD allows you to bake maps and edit vector, which is at least as useful. In most of these textures,… -
Re: Introducing Handplane Baker
Need one more option Some times it is usable if I can use Hard Edges/Smooth Groups as guid for Auto cage inside baking program. For example xNormal can bake normal map by using this with option "Use exported normals" and "Average normals" as standart auto cage, but with Handplane now I need separete polygons by hard edge…
