Re: Dismal Mountains
You have the cliff texture, now use a mask and tile something like this on top of it. (ofc darker greens and maybe not this exact one :P) Concept (http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/281/a/e/dismal_by_snowskadi-d4c7zyn.jpg) Which will help you blend in the trees, and make it a little bit more lush and natural. Ofc you… -
Re: Does a good 3D Artist need to be a good 2D Artist?
Not a necessity but you will improve as an artist, giving you depth in your skill set to grow upon. For example doing traditional life drawing forces you to test your observational skills and trains your mind's eye in articulating what you see and translating that into a medium. It also forces you to constantly assess how… -
Re: Next Gen Tri Count Prediction
there is no real number, it all depends on how tris are used, the type of game, and the system, since obviously even with the next gen consoles coming out a PC can take much more than a console. Type of game since a open world game would hit tings harder than a game with only small parts of the environment visible at once.… -
Re: Company of Heroes 2: War Paint contest
There are some really nice custom skins already available so there should be no lack of participation now that the game's had issues with sharing any custom community skin and decal content for the last few months. People are forced to remove their free community made material just to start a multiplayer game. I can't help… -
Re: Adept - Character for UT3
Really like the character, cool design, really looking good :) Although im thinking maybe define the grooves in the head a bit better, same with the shoes, just push it a bit more, dnt be afraid to go deeper with some things, give it more shape. Also maybe finish blocking out the rest of the stuff such as his belt etc. And… -
Re: Figure study needs critiques
Looking good, especially for a first try! However I see major problems with the rib cage as underlying shape. The angle of the arc is really big and placed too high. The abdomines are actually overlapping the ribcage but to me it looks like you fit them between the arc. Also when looking at the transition from the front to… -
Re: Stylized Environment WIP
Looking good! My only crit right now is the lack of contrast and slight color variation in the textures. It's making the textures seem a bit flat. I'd also maybe work on the material definition, namely the roughness/specular of the materials. For example the gems on the pillar don't really read as shiny orbs since they… -
Re: Junk Air Tugboat - WIP
Man, I'm so glad you brought that up! I learned the high spec technique a while back, since it helps me ensure my geo is clean. I had forgotten to clarify at the beginning of this project that all the props will be dinged up once all the assets are in. Each prop is in it own file; and once all my assets are checked off,… -
Re: 3D Max not rendering AO properly! HELP!
Turn on shading in cage and check if once again. If it is, 1) use push modifier with 0,01 , That will help. 2)Like Mark said: flip all faces in low\hi poly or try hide low\hi poly...there was some trick but I can't remember the details... 3)You always can detach that elements, export them as obj, import back\ export to… -
Re: UE3 Environment Workflow
If you decided to buy the game without the dvd tutorials you just made your life a little harder. Check out Dekard's sticky as well. http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=53002 What the tutorials suggest is to make a bsp shell of what your level is going to be. Once you have that you start adding structural meshes.…
