Re: In need of portfolio advice/feedback
Overall I think the portfolio looks pretty solid, but it could be improved a bit. First thing I'd change would be to strip out lightbox as it slows browsing down, but a lot of people seem to swear by it so I guess that's just my opinion. The render engine is called Marmoset Toolbag, Marmoset is the company behind it. Might… -
Re: Village Environment (WIP)
Thanks for the kind words! I kind of browsed through a bunch of different style's while trying to get some sort of inspiration kickstart for shapes and such: a little bit of WoW of course, kingdoms of kingdoms of amalur, skyrim (mostly for shapes and their visual language, not really the textures for this), dishonored, and… -
Re: 3DS Max viewport limit box?
Hi Eric, Yeah I gave that a go. I did write a post about it but yesterday the storms managed to cut out the power (and give me a zap via my Logitech G25 pedals which are now in need of a fuse I think!) right in the middle of my reply :D Basically my scene is about 10km x 10km but I'm working on 50m chunks of road at a time… -
Re: The Guitar Thread
I use a triple XXX (yeah I know, redundant name) from Peavey. 120 watts RMS on a half-stack. It makes me happy. But what I really want to mention, is Rocksmith. Has anyone looked into this game yet? It's out Oct 18th and I'm excited about it. I've been waiting for a "Guitar Hero" style game that plays with a real guitar… -

Re: Blender -> XNormal Baking Issues
Okay, here's what I tried: Did a double bevel on the low poly mesh, so that I can easily put the UV seams and the Sharp Edges right in the middle. Low poly looks like this: Both low poly and high poly are set to smooth shading, and the low poly has Auto Smooth enabled and set at 180 degrees. No Edge Split modifier, but a… -
Re: Colt Dragoon
Just saw your thread, very nice work! I'm a big fan of black powder guns and even own an 1860 Army, so it's great to see someone tackle one of these big ol' beasts. If you're interested in accuracy, the Dragoon had two different engravings on the cylinder during its run. The first one used only for a few years, is a battle… -
Re: Landscape vs Static Mesh material painting
The advantage of a landscape actor is the built in tessellation based LOD, and sculpting ability. Not much else. But the LOD is a big thing. Landscape material can use the same blending functions as a regular material. The structure of the material would be a little bit different from a regular landscape mat, you would… -
Re: Approaching Game Topology and Texturing questions from a newbie
Many professional artists post their models via Marmoset or SketchFab files. These allow you to view all sorts of things, one of which is wireframe. It's an interactive viewer so you can quickly browse through lots of people's content to study their constructions methods without having to download their physical model.… -
