Would love to see a more interesting shape on the big tree. The roots are nice, but floating. The main trunk is very straight, could be nice to make it a spiral or some other interesting shape, that complements the half-circle stage. For example, an old Juniper in Moab by Douglas Miller:
Sorta, bit it doesn't work well . I tried to go that hi pass way . blur a bit and treshold dark lines and then add white value to initially highpassed picture ( right in my example) to isolate cracks only and clean small dots noise but it kills a half of tiny crack lines too. then I tried to expand /bevel what left of…
Right. So the reference isn't for any one specific item. I understand the principles of efficient UV use, but the reference is more for providing a visual example to other people. Good packing is easy to find, but getting examples of reuse is what is tripping me up. People are happy to reuse textures in modular environment…
Looks really cool, I like your lighting and use of color. One thing I think stood out to me is the graffiti, in real life i dont think there would one be one super massive perfect graffiti on one wall, maybe add some smaller tags around the other walls to make it look like many people have been to this place over time.…
you can try learning by rough and smooth surfaces (glossy). This is base for classify a lot of materials, but of course, there are few exceptions like rubber materials, that can be smoothness but not necessarily have to emit or reflect the light like some glossy materials, cuz rubber materials absorve too much the light.…
I'm was not being dismissive(english is not my first language, and never knew "shenaningans" could have such a negative connotation, and for that I apologize), I'm well aware of the flexibility of the system, it's just that after conducting a few experiments last night I started to get the conclusion that what could be a…
Ive been diving into high poly now for a while teaching myself to model at high quality and I admit I dislike it . Spend a shit load of time cutting in detail that most people won't care about in the end . Doom 3 is a great example once the woe factor wore off on the graphics there wasnt much to the game play and so will…
Hi @d1ver Thank you for your feedback. It is very constructive and I really appreciate that you've gone through the extra mile measuring my lighting values and matching it up with really useful examples. I'll definitely take your advise and try to adjust my scene and will keep that in mind for future project as well. In…
A detour or not, depending on how you look at it. I was trying to understand eye refraction. After finding some examples, attempted to recreate the effect... and it sort of looked correct. There was just that one issue I spent a good deal of forever chasing down. The whole thing distorts depending on whether you look along…
"Now I think it's kind of rediculous you dont credit the "build your own character" games. I think every game should offer this option as a way to enhance immersion but you seem to see it as a less then worthy solution to a problem you s" You can have a elve or alien sometimes as a option in those same games I disregard.…
