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: Marvel Rivals Character shader - Nuke + Arnold (maya)
Hello, unfortunately I can’t show the current project. I will probably create a new scene when I have some free time and show it instead, since I’m not able to share the current one. Video reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5fTnIBziXc The issue with my scene is that I can’t achieve the same sense of volume as the… -
Re: Texture /photo straightening techniques?
Thanks pior for the nice idea . it's a bit more straight forward over that bezier curves approach i do but requires more precise vertex placement. Even in your example the upper one is not perfectly straight having some points off . I sometimes need to straighten big chunk of a racing track Ariel image from a drone to map… -
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: 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… -
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,… -
[PAID] 2D TileArt and Environments
Hello, I am working on a mobile indie game and am in need of 3 environments, not unlike some of the examples below. Definitely want to stay along the lines of this more vibrant, playful, and colorful theme, the Plants vs Zombies image above is a great example of the style, and you can also think Paper Mario / Mario & Luigi… -
Re: Normal Map Issue HELP PZZZZ! (maya 2008/transfer maps)
Ok, here is the solution and why it is happening. Case 1: Hard Normals & Small Map In this case, the uvs of this piece are taking up a tiny piece of a 2k map. There are some minor seams around the hard edges due to the lack of resolution, but they aren't noticeable from distance. Case 2: Soft Normals & Small Map Basically…
