Re: PC build for MAYA & ZBRUSH
well, looks to me that your proposed video card is pretty slow compared to nowadays standard. is there a reason to go with last generation here for a new build (compatibility with maya or other...?). you're not going to need top of the line but e.g. the 1070 is a nice speed bump, good to have for realtime renders,… -
Re: What made you want to work on games?
Movie industry is too difficult to get in and my skill is not up to snuff. Also in general the movies here are shit and boring. I did work in advertising for a while. Had to deal with shitty customers, choleric Bosses and superficial and obnoxious colleagues. The general obsession with excessive materialism and mindfucking… -
Re: dDo and nD02
I haven't personally used nDo2 but I use dDo all the time. It's an awesome tool but as others have said it can hurt your skills if you aren't careful. Personally I usually just use dDo to set up the different files/folders/etc. and to automatically export my D/N/S when I want to see the update textures in a realtime… -
Re: Showreel from pros but no wireframe?
this exactly. as a game artist your job will be to produce assets that can be put into game. show textured, shaded stuff. make them look the best you can - after all your primary job is to make stuff look cool. i personally don't think it matters if it's shown in a realtime engine, viewport screenshots or rendered offline.… -
Re: Motoko Kusanagi FanArt (chibified)
Updates pt 4: Final run of updates on this til next weekend. Early look dev of Hirez sculpts as is, in Marmoset 3. Whats cool with this is I can get started on the real-time materials, import the final real-time mesh with projections later on, and reapply the materials and export to Unreal or Unity. Other great option for… -
Re: The M I R A G E effect [Help]
Huge thanks @Obscura, I've learned a lot about some new nodes that I've never used before with the image you've made. So today our city (Babolsar) was strangely very snowy and they closed our school, so I didn't waste time and managed to make the mirage effect with good realtime reflections. The note is , @radiancef0rge… -
Re: Using a pre-planned texture sheet?
Yup, you pretty much answered your own questions :) Also both Maya and Max have an option called "preserve UVs" which eneables you to move a vert in 3D space and have the UVs adjust themselves accordingly in the opposite direction in realtime so that the texture doesn't "move" and the vert being moved effectively glides on… -
Re: A question to somebody who knows about material stuff
This is what the Disney brdf ggx model does. It was developed on the film Wreck-it Ralph to simplify the amount and type of maps needed to create realistic materials. It has since been adopted by modern game pipelines and is pretty much the new standard in realtime texturing/shading. The metalness map defines whether the… -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
Naima: I realise what I just said about stupid questions, but yours was answered by Eric, with pictures and all. Is it that you just don't understand what normals do? If so, I'll try to give you the concise version: they influence shading. Broken up normals give hard shading, welded normals give soft continuous shading,… -
Re: Creating a portfolio, how i got tired of lurking
Thanks Albert. One thing about never posting any of your work is that you never know how bad or good it might be. @Strom nothing 100% yet, that's what i'm working on now. I want to see what of my current works i could recycle or finish. Thanks for the Critique on the Dr.House face, i thought it was a bit lumpy. As for work…
