Re: Unpaid Art Tests - Why is this even a thing????
@poopipe ,It's not what I gain, it's what I lose. Self-respect being the main thing. And if I do it, it also sets precedent for others to follow. It becomes race to the bottom. It's just like littering. A single coke can won't destroy the world. But if everybody litters, or even just 1% of everyone is littering, then the… -
Re: PM M1910 MAXIM feedback - WIP
Thank you for your feedback everybody :) I absolutely do agree with all of it. I tried to mix procedural wear and tear with hand painted but apparently didn't do a great job. And regarding the glossiness of the paint, i tried to get close to the reference I used. It's a bunch of pictures from what I guess is a russian… -
Re: Ukraine - Our Colleagues and Friends need our help
It breaks my heart to see anyone thrown into this war, especially 3D Artists / Developers as it really brings it home, here is a post from Studio 801 on Linkedin -
Re: How do you create giant, non-repeatable environment structures for games?
Based on the relative scale of other things in the environment the height estimate of 500 to 1,000m seems a bit overstated. Half way up the right corner of the structure there's a flock of white birds that are fairly close to the structure. Going off a quick search: Canadian geese are a decent sized, large bird and they… -
Re: 3d environment artist Self taught advice/guidance?
Honestly speaking, your work unfortunatelly it is under the bar at the moment. For the time period you have been learning this is super good, however. Note: I'll be unloading a lot of information in this post, do not get frustrated, take things 1 at a time. It's mostly terminology for you to start searching about and… -
Re: The flat color of a normal map in Marmoset 3
Flat normals in Toolbag (and most other applications that use normal maps) are 127.5, 127.5, 255. This is technically in between 7f7fff and 8080ff, but either of those should work. There is no way to remap the normal map input. Could you provide some more information about the problem you're trying to solve? -
Re: What is a good Monitor for 3D Work?
I got a 27" 1440p iiyama for the kids a little while ago at about £250 - it's really not bad at all. Wouldn't call it professional quality but you could do a lot worse for the money. It's worth looking at LG - their consumer level panels are decent - I've had a 27" 4k one for 3-4 years now and it's still holding decent… -
Re: Which Graphics card is best NVIDIA Quadro vs GeForce?
Unless you already know for sure you need a 3090 you don't need a 3090 - what exactly is it you'll do that requires 24gb of GPU memory? The same goes for the 5950x - what will you do that can take advantage of 32 threads ? 5800/5900 and a 3080 will get you 90%+ of the performance for (at RRP) 50-60% of the cost leaving you… -
Re: Arnold GPU Rendering Crashes/Freezes
I tried with adaptive sampling off and then it keeps rendering (So adaptive should always be off for interactive rendering?). However, when there is Ornatrix hair in the scene and I use GPU it keeps re-starting instead of refining. When I 'collapse' the hair modifier stack it keeps rendering. What could cause this? Also,… -
Re: Recently hired in AAA? Show us your portfolio
@sacboi Thanks! The 80lvl interview was a nice surprise but I think I partly misinterpreted what they wanted me to talk about so its sort of all over the place haha. The specifics of my workflow has changed a lot since then as well, nowadays I model in Blender and use Toolbag with its bake-groups to create the normal map.…
