Re: Ice Cave
I think some of your vfx stuff is a little heavy handed. The leaking water looks like really thick globs, as to the splashes when they land in the puddles. It makes it look like the water droplets weigh significantly more than they should. Also..the burning barrel. Looks cool, but why is it here? Who would burn a barrel in… -
Re: Learning Mudbox and baking
Hello saija! I think you have a good start here! They do give the impression of solid rocks that weigh a lot. I looked at the picture for a moment, here are some suggestions and a quick paintover to demonstrate the thoughts below: - the surface of the rock looks like it is forming draped folds or cloth-like wrinkles (more… -
Re: A Diorama
The way youre presenting it doesnt make this easy to see, I wouldnt condense all those shots into one image like you have in your last image. That aside, my first thoughts are -The roof is missing a piece, and its shape does seem right. Yours seems very straight, while in the concept it looks like it concaves in a lot… -
Re: Noob Question - Tri's vs. Quads
Thanks for the info Almighty_Gir! I have been looking at some models, which seem to have flat surfaces, however I see people opting to still slice the quad into 2 tri's. I know its probably a loaded question, but could you perhaps tell me why someone would opt to slice up quads into tri's ? Does this not require additional… -
Re: Why bake down normals from a highpoly when you can convert your diffuse into normals?
Generally covering a diffuse map into a normal map isn't going to give you good results. By and large the best that can be done is it treats the diffuse map as a height map... so anything that's bright is raised up and anything that's dark is sunken down. If you look at many diffuse textures in that way, you should be able… -
Re: Input for a total Beginner
You need to push the asset technically. First you have to decide between realistic and stylized. Since you used a photo for textures, I guess you want the former. So for current gen you'd have to look into something like Substance / Quixel Suite to create a realistic wood surface. To just quickly push this particular asset… -
Re: How do you guys create Roughness maps for PBR? Any examples? Also a few questions.
1.) Use reference, observation, and general logic. Roughness does exactly what it sounds like, defines how rough a surface is. This will vary by a wide number of different factors like the material type, wear level, etc. There is no secret here, you just need to research and experiment. 2.) The albedo is the color of the… -
Re: [UE4] Cemetery At Sea (Concept by Graven Tung)
I really do regret to say that I've basically done no work on this since my previous update... mainly because I've been busy with work and everything. I finally found some time today to revisit a small part of this environment. Thankfully my reasons for not being able to do this isn't because I haven't been practicing my… -
Re: Blade Runner - Deckard (Study)

Add in belt loops around waist for pants and outer coat 2. Add tension points based on those loops 3. Work on lower half of the coat, further defining the shape of the… -
Re: projection keyboards, anyone got/tried one?
ya tried a keyboard that uses a IR camera and a laser project before, it was could be more accurate, but i felt it was no better than just using a touch screen keyboard. Since they got no tactile feedback, and you cant touch type on them, so feature wise there worse than just a touchscreen keyboard, since those are the…
