Re: What's the purpose of Marmoset
Well... It gives a look that is close to a modern real time renderer/game engine. It has physically based shading, and all the modern stuff that can be done in real time nowadays. I would say almost the best possible realtime quality, in specific cases. And the workflow is quick. You can load stuff in, and preview much… -
Re: Little Leaf, a young Native American
Well, it is for a project that is not my own. The project began with a stylized art style, but the dev's changed their minds and wanted to do a more realistic style. So I took the original model and used it as a base mesh to start from. Hence, the proportions, specifically the eyes are a little larger than real life, but I… -
Re: 3ds Max vs. Maya nowadays and in the future
that's an excellent point... No matter how desirable one might feel a toolset might be for another package I have always refused to develop on a software that is ultimately going to hamstring my time and resources. Not that there aren't a cult of developers building up blender but I don't see any exciting threads at TAO… -
Re: Is there any demand for a game asset focused modeling tool?
i think any software is bound to get bloated and filled with inconsistencies over time - unless you purge it regularly which would affect compatibility with old scenes made in it. usually the user base makes quite a stink when established things don't work anymore and the replacement does things differently, just sayin'.… -
Re: Honda CRV
Hey Xoluil, thanks for the response and the info about the super high poly car models. Thats not the direction I want to take this model though. I see a few places that could be handled entirely with normal map. Perhaps the vents in the interior, I could angle the HP vents for the bake. on the face of the steering wheel,… -
Re: Unreal/General - Scattering Shader - Eye and Light - Correct retention of Energy
There's one important difference. The relation between camera and light is fix when rendering a scene. In this case you just need to transform the light once per frame and save the result to a shader register. On the other hand, each pixel will hold different surface data (normal, tangent,position), which needed to be… -
Re: Game Prototype Challenge 6
looking great rich. I like the "bash the enemy" thing going on. I had an idea for back story before I saw your latest update. So it doesnt include enemies. But there might be a way to intergate them. Anyway. The game is played at a microscopic level within an atom which needs to be charged to become electricity. The player… -
Re: Attempting to Draw Symmetrical Reference for Modelling
Sorry I cannot help with the Illustrator issue, but for what it's worth, I think that Alchemy, Painter, Manga Studio and Autodesk Sketchbook all solid real time symmetry sketching tools built in. There might be a few more too. Mudbox has it as well (of course ! since it's a sculpting app ...) and the painting brushes… -
Re: Interactive Animations
Hi. Unless your web developers also moonlight as artists you'll have to provide them with all the assets (images, text, audio, 3D models etc.) and they'll take care of assembling the animation-rich pages for you using programming. Since you're the only one who knows exactly what the website should be like, you'll have to… -
Re: Ultimate Textures Feedback Tier2
Hehe interesting. Like EricChadwick here says you have to look at the time it takes to create the texture compared to your billed time, that's what we tried to do when we did the price estimates, and then we lowered the price from the costs of what an average artist would be charged. I find it a little hard to say that it…
