Re: Normal Maps: Can Somone Explain This "Black Edge" issue
I agree with you there. It's always a case to case judgement. And splitting/hard edges generates more vertices, still the texture will be a lot more "reusable" if there aren't as many huge gradients on the shells in the texture. If you have a few pretty basic shapes in your texture you'll be able to reuse those a lot… -
Re: 3D Environment Artist Showreel
I would change the font on the top, this one is hard to read your name. Komatsu G40 : Would be nice to finish it with textures. Urban Fishing : Too much wasted triangle. You don't need to model the ceramic on the platform, make it in texture. Also, the left side has too much polygons. You don't need them. I would say to… -
Re: Medieval Village [UDK]
Don't keep N-Gons, no, bad artist, N-Gons are bad for engine, BAD! Learn to tile your textures and overlap UV's! This is the basics of environment pieces, the polycount Wiki has some more info on this. Also, break up your building into modular pieces. The door part for example could have it own unique texture if you really… -
Re: Village Environment
Heya, this looks great! As @Deathrey said I think there is some problems with your lighting first and foremost. -The sky is too bright for the mood you are trying to accomplish -The lamps are over bright and an odd colour, I would dim them down and put a more orange flame colour, as they are oil lamps or something similar… -
Re: Colonisation: Moonbase, Android Game
Space! Yaaayy!! I like sims, and I like space, so this looks interesting. As for the art, it looks a bit blocky and generic. Are you going for a realistic aesthetic, or something like Kerbal Space Program? I'd research on actual plans or developments for modular space colonies. "The Case for Mars" by Robert Zubrin has some… -

Re: [Portfolio] - Manuel Virks, (Senior Environment Artist, Crysis 2)
Hey Gruesse aus Hamburg :) anyway i would love to know some stuff on how you approached the roof construction. And about the front of the building. Is that modular? Especially the arc windows. The part that goes into the construction (so the negativ extruded part) and the frame to the arc (which looks very high detailed)… -
Re: Sketchbook: munchkin
Progress Just some more bits and pieces for my base mesh to prepare for Zbrushing. I'm planning to concentrate on focal points such as the guns, fireplace, bear rug, trophies and bust to Zbrush. Method To make my life easier, I have used modular wall pieces in Max to construct the room and will repeat items wherever… -
Re: [UE4] Environment: ¨Yir'Daman¨
#6 last update! Hi, guys! Just finished this awesome piece. Was a lot of fun and learned a ton doing it. Lately, I've been learning a lot about composition, color, and balance, and to apply all that learned content was the main goal of this piece. This is the final render: Thanks to everyone that helped with their feedback… -
Re: PSA: How to use a 3d tutorial.
