Terminator Shotgun
hello everyone, i'm new to this forum. i was trying to model an winchester shotgun, used in terminator series, for a next gen weapon. the problem is that i cannot scan or visualize correct normal map with Xoliulshader. even if i scan in max or in xnormals i get the same result(xnormals is better). i don;t see any button to… -
[Coming Soon] PBRTK - PBR Viewport Shader for 3DS Max
Traditionally, 3DS Max has not been very good at previewing what game art will look like in the final game, particularly with the standardization of PBR shading in next-gen engines. PBRTK is a viewport shader for 3DS Max which solves just that! This viewport shader gives you a physically-based shader based on the metalness… -
Re: Computer Repair Help Needed !
A newer gen CPU would mean new motherboard and ram. The cheapest way to go would be to get a used 2600k with a decent cooler, which might end up running $150-$200. you can overclock those chips pretty well, but I'm not sure if that ends up solving his lagging problem. You might need to profile where the actual bottleneck… -
Re: Fox Engine Lighting Demo from Kojima Productions
Meh. One can easily pull out all the graphical stops for one tiny static scene. Come back when it's providing the same level of graphical fidelity and believability in a large, moving environment with lots of on-screen interaction. I'm betting that between a low framerate (almost a given) and the same uncanny-valley-esque… -
Re: 'Cold calling' Job Applying for Video Game Industry
I agree with the suggestions here. Get some game ready stuff created and re-apply then! Look at the artists at the studios you are interested in. Try to find their junior or mid-level artists. If you can create what they have in their portfolio then you should apply. In terms of env art. The CG Student Challenge (or… -
Re: Environment modelling.
Not bad, but watch out for those ngons when creating edge detail. A good workflow for next gen game assets involves taking a mesh into zbrush or mudbox, doing some rough detail, export and UV low rez, go back and add fine details in which to generate normal map from. Also, at least in my case, I try to find ways to make… -
Re: PBR Texturing tutorials?
Photosourcing stuff like you used to for previous gen becomes a bit trickier, but it's by no means impossible. Make sure you understand the principles very well first of all. This video is the best and most correct one out there; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP7HgIMv4Qo Also Substance stuff doesn't have to be about… -
Re: Tri count for naval ship cannons?
Your model is badly optimized, you are using the same amount of sides to describe the roundness of tiny torus's as you are using to describe the barrel of the gun. The extra loops on the wheel axels could also easily be covered in texture, and you don't reduce the amount of loops describing roundness as they converge… -
Re: Portfolio Crits
Alright, I spent the day and trimmed down my portfolio, worked on my renders, and fixed my resume. Thanks to everyone for all the helpful feedback. Anything else that stands out that I need to fix? www.artbyv.com I know I need to push myself and create stuff that looks more like current gen AAA titles, but hopefully the… -
Re: Recommendations for a PC for Workstation?
Apparently the cost quivalent to the Ryzen 7 1700 Is the i7 8700 for 327, Ryzen 7 1700 for 300 https://blogs-images.forbes.com/antonyleather/files/2017/09/8th-gen-2.jpg?width=960 ------------------ But performance wise, the 8700k is only slightly better than the ryzen 5 1600? And rm this is the 8700k, while the 8700 is…
