Re: what are the most important basic skills and styles any "digital" artist should know?
Kind of bouncing off of what Dustin said, learn to absorb and learn from other artist's work (no matter the style or medium) but at the same time see that they are now the quality bar you have to be above to be competitive. A lot of artists, especially starting out, will see great work and immediately see them as "so good,… -
Re: Advanced Skeleton 5 Face Rig Issues, Need help!
Since I do mostly real time game engine animation I don't use the full Advance Skeleton face rigging tools because it uses a lot of advanced techniques that aren't compatible with game engines (lip zipper, shapes ect) and the set up process is kind of tedious. You can convert the setup you're using over to be compatible… -
Terrain splatmaps -- how do they get applied?
Hello PC, sorry this seems like silly question, but I just can't find an answer! Are UV's generated for Unity terrain, or is splatmap resolution dependent on vertices? I did some testing in engine to try and figure answer for myself but couldn't reach a conclusion. I have trouble getting something that isn't blurry no… -
Re: Blender - how to copy uv map to other selected object?
you can something that you should probably have done anyway: use an array modifier for the steps. add an empty at the center point of your staircase and rotate it on the z axis as much as the difference in rotation from one step to the next. then take your bottom step and make it a unique object (select all vertices of the… -
Re: Confused about everthing, depressed in the process.
many many people came out of college being/feeling ill prepared for the real world. But that's not unique to our industry. Many people, including me, kept learning, and most importantly, practicing after graduation. All the practice can't possibly fit into a college's schedule. They should teach you the basics, but you'll… -
Re: Reversed scifi trike
This is great! I have issue with some of your design though. It may be too late to reconsider, but I'll throw my points out anyways. I think the front wheels stick out way too far. I can't really see a functional reason why you would have them do this, but it would make it difficult for the vehicle to turn, and reduce… -
Idea for Feedback on Tracking 3D Content Creation Pipelines
I’ve been thinking about a simpler, more modern way to manage the flow of 3D content creation, as an alternative to heavier tools like Shotgrid. The idea is a web app that focuses on clarity and ease of use, with features tailored for artists and teams: * Kanban-style board that shows what stage of production each asset is… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time. :) I took your advice and reduced the scope quite a bit. Originally I planned for three rooms, but after stepping back and asking myself “does this space really serve a purpose?”, the smallest room didn’t justify its existence. Removing it helped… -
Re: script idea: Loop selection controlled by mouse movement
Pior, that's a nice suggestion ! :) Modo has that built in, also there is such feature in the polyboost toolset.I was thinking also about something like 2 dimensional selection, again based on the mouse movement direction.What I mean is a two step selection, where first you move the mouse up or down to expand the loop in… -
Re: Lighting, Seams, and Smoothing Problems
Yes I have tried that method, I inverted in Photoshop, even created a material in UDK and manually inverted with the one minus expressions, and have also baked my normal map with y- in the end I am getting same results. Okay guys, this might be my last post (I promise)depending on if I find a solution in the next 16 hrs or…
