Re: PC Build for environment art and engine work.
I'd get a 512GB SSD, I've got 256GB and it's down to 30GB, bad performance when the free storage get's low, I remember there was a feature somewhere - maybe Tom's Hardware outlining this, and also here? Bearing in mind that I have Guild Wars 2, Battlefield 4, Divinity and Frontier Elite Dangerous on there, as well as… -
Re: PLEASE CRITIQUE! My first few projects (40k Grav Gun, t-34 85 tank, Doom Argent tower room)
The bed is the only thing I have textured because I have not taken any classes on texturing yet, and I have only messed around in substance painter long enough to figure out just the bed so far. I will texture everything as time goes on. I am glad they are a good start! I was worried they were shite. I am also somewhat… -
Re: Help with UV mapping character with hard/soft edges
its a good idea to tile your checker a bit more in order to see how bad that distortion actually is. I don't always trust modo's "heat" map colors for such thing. But for what I can tell your unwrap does not seems all that bad, you might have more cuts than you actually need, but in terms of distortion, a character will… -
Re: Pokemon GO!
The reason why it seems that only bad stuff is coming from the existence of this game is because the media loves to promote bad news. We wouldn't read the news if it was all good after all! :) It's easy to believe the whole world is evil and out to get you when you read the news, but that's simply not true. It just seems… -
Re: Elder Scrolls V (Confirmed)
Exactly, but it's an super old myth that gamebryo has been the thing holding the flawless bethesda back, so much that they'll probably announce their own engine now (even if based on the gamebryo codebase) to avoid some of that bad name. It probably isn't the best engine, but the flaws we've seen in the elderscrolls games… -
Re: New to polycount/Need help with poles!
Regarding poles in general, I believe you're going to have poles, somewhere, any time the direction of the topo flow changes/splits. The goal is then only to have them when you actually need to; to move them to areas that aren't going to deform much; and to have them distributed in such a way that problems with poles don't… -
Re: Bigley: Low Poly Thread
I am fairly new to this topology for character stuff... would love some feedback. Is it really bad? Passable? Are the tris bad? I see some people with straight quads down the legs and it looks pretty... but I would be missing some silhouette. I plan on tweaking the bottom of the feet next. Didn't really do anything to… -
Re: "So You Want To Be An Environment Artist" by @GameTxtures
Solid tips and good advice how to be proactive and cope with our work environment, but I'm not getting the motivational part here - "it sucks what you do and occasionally it's great and that makes it worth it". I feel the article would have been better without the "omg it sucks" intro, especially since you could get the… -
Re: Tattoos and piercings affect being hired?
The art industry is very forgiving when it comes to that. I mean if you show up dressed up like babba fett to deliver your reel you might get a job provided your work is good I mean. It's not like working in a bank. The only thing that won't get you a job is bad work and a bad attitude. In fact you might have to come in… -
Re: 1st real model post / head model/ zbrush practice
low levels are way too lumpy/random. high levels just look bad. Work out your low levels until they hae some really nice form before you even think about going crazy with the skin detail stuff. Which really i wouldnt even suggest you do, you need way to many polys to pull it off right and its much better done as texture…
