Re: My work with Substance Designer and Substance Painter.
Hi guys, Here are some screen-grabs of work I did for Zero Latency VR. Models were made by James Brady. Bakes and a paint-over from zbrush, along with the models were supplied to me, so I could texture the assets with Substance Designer. Before: After: Other renders: On the substances: All of them have adjustable… -
Re: Video Arcade- W.I.P. Environment Art
LateWhiteRabbit - Loops, detail, sure, fine. But why use more than necessary? You can say "oh you won't notice in the end" But this is not good modeling practice. While it sorta works okay in this instance, all the redundant loops will make life hell at more complex shapes. Furthermore, the model isn't made efficiently… -
Re: Super Hero Animation Critique
Cool idea, you have a nice base to start from. F1-44 Everything here is pretty static. A good tip I learned is: when doing a motion, use the “largest control” to sell an animation. For example: when doing a laugh you could just animate the head, but to really sell it you want to add his hips and gut to involve the whole… -
Re: Slicing a level up in Max before exporting to a game engine
Yeah, each "real" terrain piece was centered at export time, then after some swizzling they were written to the proprietary format. Actually IIRC they were all stored in a single binary file, not separate files, so the engine simply pulled out the ones it needed at render time. The special file format was simply to process… -
Re: Object coordinates in in UDK?
what radianceforge said. however, it sounds like you're just looking to place objects relative to one another. The quickest way to do this is to place one object and then copy/paste it and open its properties and just change which mesh the placed-node references, under the staticmeshcomponent. You can quickly populate a… -
Re: Paintstorm studio - new painting package.
I've experienced the same as you. Studios don't like any cross over of software between home and work - whether it's you bringing your license in, or using a work license at home. It's a liability that they're better off avoiding. --- I'm watching this licensing feedback with great interest and taking notes. I remember… -
Re: motivation discipline & distractions
While these new tools greatly speed up the process of making artwork more realistic, - realism isn't the only art style available. However, it's a tried and true method, and in my opinion young people who want to find work often see using these powerful tools as quick and easy methods to create high fidelity assets for… -
Re: Vayne4800's workshop
Big update post inc: I have been mostly slow with modeling in the past year or so due to life and overall workshop scene changes. With that said, here is what I have completed since last update: The following sets I provided skinning and technical support. Thanks goes to their authors for giving me the opportunity to do so… -
Re: Looking for feedback on a portfolio piece
Will PBR be a "novelty toy"? No. Unreal Engine 4 exclusively uses a PBR workflow, Cryengine uses PBR these days (not sure if it's required), Marmoset Toolbag 2 uses PBR, Marmoset Skyshop for Unity uses PBR, IIRC Unity 5 will use PBR, I'm sure high end proprietary engines like Fox Engine use PBR as well. Offline animation… -
Re: Best unbiased rendering engine?
You know unbiased engines take a looooooong time to render, right? Such is not practical for animations unless you have a render farm to back up the job. Maxwell Renderer is, theoretically, the most "accurate" unbiased engine out there. It is more or less designed to simulate the physics behind an IRL camera. V-Ray has a…
