Re: How to make the illusion of a 3d object from a 2d image?
Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but depthy is open source and looks like you can run it locally. The "easy" way would involve two renders of a 3d scene: beauty and depth. From hand-painted images, I'd suggest keeping a lot of masks as you work. Start with flat fills to represent depth layers and paint in… -
Re: Are cloud rendering services use-able for tweaking & creating single frames?
I have zero experience actually using render farms, but from what I've read when I looked into it they are better to render greater number of frames where you get the big speed boost by rendering many many frames in parallel. I'm not sure how vray works, but I believe for blender and maybe octane there is some kind of… -
Re: Motorcycles/Scooters, who here rides? Post a pic of your ride
Xoliul: I have a helmet and choose when to wear it. I don't wear it sometimes (especially on scenic routes in our area with low traffic). If I have to be in city traffic or heavier interstate traffic, or on a longer trip with chances of weather changing (helps limit wind noise), I wear it. I mentioned it because I believe… -
Re: [CE3] Bioshock Environment Homage
@Brygelsmack - Thanks man! I was thinking of doing a full breakdown of everything of interest (so nothing!) after I finish it all off, would maybe be cool to spend a few weeks disecting how i did stuff and seeing where im wasting time or missing a trick. :D I got plans to have localized damage in some areas of the tunnels,… -
Re: Demon Hunter WIP
Looking awesome! The faithfulness to the Diablo 3 texturing style looks solid. I know it looks finished, and I know the feeling of finality on these sort of things (if you're feeling it, I mean), but maybe there's one last thing I think that might push this. Hopefully this makes sene, but see if you can splash in… -
Re: Crysis 2
Just finished Crysis 2 (on the 360), and I gotta say; pretty bad game overall! Never took off for me at all. I feel it should be studied by game designers to find out exactly what went wrong with it and never have it repeated. I mean, all the elements are there, and the art is real nice, but they forgot the fun, but I… -
Re: Programming Windows
If you're looking for something to sell, develop on the express version, then when you reach a point to sell it, buy the license at that time. In all honesty, many people start projects, then never complete them. It's better to pay at the end, if you complete it, then pay at that start and maybe not complete it. There's… -
Re: Sudden need to get pro. But how.
Thank you everyone, that's pretty encouraging feedback. Slosh that is really helpful, I appreciate the honesty. I remember someone at a local studio telling me they took 1-1.5 months which is what I based my estimate on. But you are totally right, that is really untenable for a beginner, I need to be more realistic. Okay!… -
Re: Shrine Environment Prop
The runes seem a little too slapped on, its kinda obvious that its just a zsub clay buildup brush. Look at some concepts and try to make the runes look more interesting, maybe taper off at parts and have more going on inside the runes themselves. Add some more to the texture, split up the stones by adding localized grunge… -
Re: Low Poly Mountains - correct thread hopefully
One idea... get a copy of Crysis and load up a level in their editor to take a look at how they do their mountains. Often games use a heightmap on an evenly-subdivided model, like 2 quads per meter or so. After sculpting the heightmap, the env artist uses multitexture to blend between multiple tiled textures. See…
