Re: Glaze - a tool for protecting your art from "AI" theft
There was an example posted somewhere within that Twitter thread- I can't find it, though. They showed the version the generator recreated as something akin to a messed up VHS tape- huge blocks of random colors and structural corruption -
Re: Sketchbook: Martin "VertexBee" Punchev
Last week I've mentioned about this special SubD modeling technique and promised to write a brief tutorial, so here it is. In a nutshell: Create a low-polygon model and set all the edges that you need to be sharp and crisp to be at 1.0 crease value. To be in greater control of the surface you can also assign weights to the… -
Re: Long Term Environment Project
Hello again Polycount :) So over the past two weeks I have been learning as much as I can about rocks, never made them before and to be honest I knew there is an art to them (love looking through the Rawk thread here in Polycount, and after working on my own, I take hat off to you guys), I just didnt realise just how much… -
Re: Newb starting an environment for Blizzard's Contest
Hey, nice start. You're on the right path with your terrain textures, and making tiling textures. Once thing it seems like you maybe aren't getting, though, is blending terrain textures together. If you know how to use masks in photoshop then you've already got the basics. Blending two terrain textures is done by using a… -
Re: What should have in my new portfolio...
Thanks guys! When I re-started the doom scene, I had a talk with ZombieWells from here (who worked at ID and I think he is working at EPIC atm) and I asked him about the dirt thing, and he said I should make it look clean. And actually the original environment is also clean. That scene will be a playable level, and there… -
Re: My Year Long Trek
All right, what are you trying to do here? Are you remaking a skyrim dungeon? are you trying to improve on a skyrim dungeon? Are you making your own? Even still, these assets need to go in an engine, or in the creation kit that comes with pc skyrim for modding, (I think your planning on do this). It is hugely important.… -
Re: UV mapping for terrain techniques?
Well the problem is thats not really how you tile textures at all. Sure you "can" do that but for things tiling textures in the 0 to 1 is not something you do at all. Then again it depends on what type of texture blending you use be it vertex or blend maps. The reason for this is each asset requires a different tiling rate… -
Re: Rendering your game assets, why not UDK/CryEngine?
I think you people are trying to read too much into something that doesn't exist with too many variables. I have yet to see someone mention for example shadow issues pending on the card type and drivers you might be using with a specific engine (shadows in real-time don't work in Autodesk products on AMD 8xxx series cards… -
Re: Motivation is Bull
The post is for sure a good guideline how to approach a project, but for example my biggest issue isn't the lack of motivation to finish a project. Where I find myself struggling is actually a different kind motivation in the sense of 'what good for is this anyhow?'. That's a question that never rises at work. I get my… -
Re: How is 3D-scanning useful for 3D-artists?
there is a lot of ways 3D scanning is useful for Artists and designers of all sorts. i think the uses can be summed up in a few broad catagorys: 1:1 Asset Replication - as others pointed out a lot of studios are utilizing 3d scans to get real world assets into their pipeline from the likenesses of actors and models for…
