Hello! I'm currently looking for VFX tutorials similar to this: https://liamandrews1.artstation.com/projects/8BXOZQ I really loved how the author showcased step by step, enabling/disabling elements of the composition, as well as showing the entire composition blending togeher. It was possible to see all parameters and…
I wanted to start this thread to learn more about creating better spec maps. Spec maps always seem like they get no love and are just an after thought to most models. I'd like to hear any techniques, facts, links, good examples or anything related to creating great spec maps. How are you using color to make your spec maps…
Hello everyone, i haven't posted here for a while, i've been learning unreal engine 4 lately aiming for environment art.

I wanna make some pipeline tools for my portfolio and would share them with you. (Houdini HDA's/HIP's only) Noted Ideas: * Better Auto-UV…
Not the typical "hey I went to school for game design and want to be a game designer" thread. I know you dont get those jobs straight out of school. You work up to them. My question is, how do you become an actual designer? Not that Im looking to jump into that position or anything, I'm actually just curious. How do the…
Hi there fellow artists, After a long time I have decided to showcase my art for the first time. My question would be that how many pieces should there be in a beginner's portfolio? At the moment I have 2 that I feel might be good enough. These are some of the pages of a children's cookbook idea. I can't really decide…
Like you, I stepped over from Max to Blender a while ago. You haven't given any info on what it is you want to make as an end product. Why do you need a texture program? There are texturing tools already in Blender. You should start at the other end and concentrate on what masterpieces you want to make, The hotkeys will…
