Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
People here seem to think that there are many different tangent basis types for realtime apps. As far as I know almost any realtime app uses straightforward linear interpolation between vertex normals. That includes Max viewport, Unreal engine, Marmoset, etc... The problem we have here is that certain offline, software… -
Re: WIP Stylised Fantasy Character
had to check for the project, switched machines in the meantime and didnt run it in ages. but regarding that rimlight. this is a 1 bit mask of the custom stencil buffer set to 12 (could be any number really, dont even ask why 12, dunno anymore :D ) here is the custom stencil mask applied per object (so it doesnt apply to… -
Re: Difference between Cinematic workflow and low poly workflow??
Your steps are spot on overall, but they're very specific towards one type of work: organic/environmental. Even for this type of stuff though classic polygon modeling like in 3ds or Maya can do just as well. Just keep in mind that a studio might not be using zbrush, mental ray, etc at all. Another example of a different… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
Your portfolio advertises yourself as a '3D Artist' - which I can only take to mean a generalist, but you specify "Environment Art" in your post here. Which is it? The portfolio in its current state is much more geared to the former than the latter at the moment. I also think your portfolio should be smaller, not larger.… -
Re: [WIP] Churchill MK VII Tank
No crits for your UVs, modeling workflow plus final intent because it's probably how I'd approach generating an asset this complex and by the way, from my experience 5k triangle turret, is quite optimised considering the existing level of detail. So I'll confine my comment to eventual in-engine or realtime viewer showcase,… -

Unsafe ?? https://www.urlvoid.com/scan/cgpal.com/ https://www.mywot.com/scorecard/cgpal.com ..or any other "checker" you might trust.. (No using the site nor the software myself yet..) But then.. you might use (for personal projects..) ??:… -
Re: Ugly normal maps from zbrush
Do you have access to anything else than Zbrush for your bake ? Proper combinations are very rare, as far as I know the following should look perfect (other combos might look 80% right, but theres always problematic artefacts near seams, around hard edges, and were shapes take a suffen turn) - baked in maya, displayed in… -
Re: Unlimited Detail... soon.
If this was realtime why didn't they show someone manipulating the camera in realtime? Because it's not realtime. It's probably running at 10fps and they've combined the frames back into a fake realtime movie. It also has no characters or motion of any kind. On current generation hardware this will be useful for… -
Re: 3D Environment Artist Potfolio Critique/Feedback (Stylized)
Agreed, especially regarding the bedroom and the professor layton piece looking great. The only thing that stood out negatively to me immediately was the UV layout of the market stand. There doesn't seem to be a good reason to have the tabletops/shelves rotated at 45 degrees and have the edges stick out that way, only to… -
Re: Hair / Fur / Fibermesh / whatever...
Well there are simulations for animation that aren't considered "realtime". The realtime hair would be in a game engine that reacts to the players movement as they do whatever. There aren't many of those that are available to anyone, I think only the CryENINGE has realtime hair. But for rendered animated projects there are…
