Welcome to the 'Retro 3D FAQ', a thread dedicated to sharing information about the creation of 3D art for game consoles made before the age of programmable pixel shaders. If you enjoy the look of 3D games from the 90's and early 2000's, and would like to learn how to make such art yourself, this is the thread for you! :)…
A V G The following art and other content is from a game project I've been occupied with for about 4-5 years now. In short, the game is antinatalism themed and has a quite pessimistic story. It would have various settings, from Earth in the near future (not shown in this post) to various alien planets and megastructures in…
Well yesterday night was one of those days... I work third shift, and the company I'm at decided to have mandatory overtime, when December start which isn't a big deal unless there really is no point to it. I have been working six days a week for a few weeks, and it seems it catching up with me. Yesterday night I woke up I…
Hi all, I have a problem with finishing stuff. I think thats fairly common, but I have no clue how to get past it. I currently use Zbrush, and I love working with it. I got myself a cheap tablet and as soon as I got the hang of it, I started project after project.. but without finishing anything. Currently I'm at the n-th…
Hey all so I've been posting stuff in the PP section during th course of this project for school. I'm a first time noob at modular workflow so bare with me. So far, I've been making the square power of 2 textures first(or some un-square iteration), putting them into a 2048 texture atlas, and then just breaking the chunks…
Hey all I recently got to do an art test for NetDevil (a local game company I have been trying to get a job at for years) and unfortunatly I failed the test. So in an effort to improve the model and possibly resubmit it, for the hell of it, I would like to get as much feedback on it as possible. The requirements for the…
Ok. This project has changed a bit now since last time i posted. The original aim is now not complex or needed enough for it to be considered useful for a thesis. However, the new aim still uses a mech character, but will be a much more focused project. For the aim i intend to have a mech character with its two arms able…
Well the first thing we need to know is your budget. $1-200 means standard compact camera, this will work in a pinch if you know how to use it $2-400 will get you a used DSLR body, possibly with a standard "kit" lens $5-1000 will get you a higher end used body, or a quite good new body, with kit lens You can pick up a…
there's a night market? I thought that one with the scorpions is in beijing ;) Here's my recommendations: for an awesome bar, check out the one on top of the jin mao tower in the hyatt hotel at floor 85 - cool! for a great weekend trip, check out one of the water towns. I recommend Wuzhen (2hr drive with the taxi). Check…
salman_fas:Thank you, I would have done cuts but I was trying experiments with light maps/ modularity, next time I have another approach on how to do this for that kinda of geo cuts. Vassago : Yes its a 1/2 rez of my current texture bake but its on there. I havent baked it for other stuff asside from the buildings so far,…
