Re: Current Industry Standard workflow for 3D artists??
To echo some of the above : - Be excellent at creating highpoly models, both sculpted and as manually crafted geo - Be excellent at creating ingame meshes - Be excellent at UVs and baking. - Also pick a 3D CAD software like Fusion, Moi3D or Plasticity. And then things will vary from one project to another. Honestly not… -

Re: Necessary budget for building a PC to become a 3D Game Character Artist
It's absolutely not necessary to go buy a giant workstation to make 3d models and hasn't been since about 2008. You can probably do the work you need to do on that machine quite comfortably - I used a worse one when I was working on first party PS4 titles. You may want more ram for zbrush but in general I'd suggest not… -

Re: Unreal Engine, StaticMesh and InstancedStaticMesh, doubt realistic use
I understand that you are referring to the fact that the Instanced Static Mesh feature did not exist in versions prior to Unreal Engine 4, specifically UDK 3 and earlier. In UE4 version 4.10, it was already possible to manually instantiate one or several meshes, although this method might not have been well-known in 2015.… -
Re: What environment helps get you a job?
Hi! I think in end the execution is what matters, less the setting. That said, I can see how the setting affects what techniques you can showcase. So when you're planning a project, you could think about what techniques you want to show/ what would you like to work on. For example: Catacombs - modular kit, photogrammetry,… -
Re: Automatic UV Unwrap in Painter - Feedback Wanted!
We thought the example of the robot being automatically unwrapped was fairly misleading. This was due to the automatic unwrapper only being able to give one UV shell per mesh. It seems that this tool works for some organic examples ( such as those given by yourself) , but isn't ideal for hard surface unless the mesh is… -
Re: Learning JavaScrpt for Unity, any book/resource recommendations?
I didn't really knew any object oriented programming before I got into unity, and got along fine with it, just study a lot of the example projects and download other people's examples :) . The cool thing with unity is that the object oriented part is very visual, you're usually working with actual objects in a scene each… -
Re: How do you manage your Brushes/Tools/.. in a studio environment?
@monster awesome, thank you! This is why I created the thread! Never thought of using the Event Manager for this, great idea :) . Unfortunately this is a more universal problem and the brushes were only an example for this. I actually am looking for a more universal solution. Well, if you have any documentation that you…
