Shadow Problem
Even after giving this simple modular planar mesh a proper light map in a second UV channel I get these horrible blotchy shadows.How can I fix this? Please note that: -I have already created a second UV channel with a proper light map and set UDK to read this as the light map channel. -I have already locked the UV's to the… -
Checkpoint Beta Environment
Hey guys, Well this is my first environment, and I wanted to create a environment that was low tris count and also modular. After buying and playing a ton of Deus Ex: Human Revolution I decided to model a environment off a concept from their Art Book, I wanted to make some things my way and be a little creative. The scene… -
Critique Request: A Tree and A Cave
Hey Polycount, I wrapped up a personal project with the goal of understanding tools and fleshing out pipelines for modular organic assets. Coming from a stylized, handpainted background I also really wanted to get more in touch with realistic workflows. Any feedback welcomed, but I would really love any advice on how to… -
yet anther sci-fi corridor
Hi polycount, I've been a long time lurker on this forum and recently, an aspiring game artist. This is my first attempt at doing an environment. I'm going for a dark scifi horror movie like corridor/sewer. I plan on adding some props to break up the repetitiveness. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. what… -
Re: Help me get more optimized with this scene
Sharing materials across multiple buildings is generally a good approach. You can also model elements in a modular way so that you're reusing meshes in addition to materials. While each building may have 10 materials, objects sharing a material will be batched into a single draw call. It can get more complicated than that,… -
Re: Portfolio and Career Advice
Re: blizz art contest, I think they meant more along the lines that an environment artist should have some environments to show. Take that Egyptian stylized wall, create a few more modular pieces with your trim sheet ability, a few props at the caliber or above of the bow and get it in engine. That alone would show exactly… -
Re: (maya) probably a noob question on rigging
Take a look at mGear its a modular system and you can add features as many as you like. Its to complex to learn to crate such rigs. They use custom solver and a lot of python magic. mGear is free and super fast and easy to learn. If you dont try to become a rigger i wont try to learn it. It does take years to master like… -
Re: Post Apocalyptic Checkpoint Environment (Critique Welcome!)
@icegodofhungary thanks for the crits! I added wear on the paint for the dividers and poles, as well as lowered the roughness on the plastic. I would say that getting the translucency to look right has been the largest challenge so far. @bhenderson thank you as well! I continued with the modular approach with the buildings… -
Re: Architect thinking about breaking into the Gaming Industry
As previously mentioned, an online portfolio is a must. For each artwork, you should show a detailed breakdown of the scene such as wireframes, materials, trim sheets, modular components, and other things that are relevant to game asset creation. I came from a civil engineering background. Although most of what I learned… -
Re: Cargo Freighter Spaceship
I thought I had upped the exposure bias in photoshop after taking this enough.. perhaps not. I need to sort out my gamma. Quick update to address glaring things I noticed just now: Upped the polies in the gas planet and added a ring, then added exhaust cones to the thrusters/engines. Any tips on how to really get a sense…
