Yay more stuff from paul! Glad to see you touch upon tilling a little bit, making unique high poly meshes is all well and good for "hero" pieces, but I would figure for a scene that big you guys probably used more tilling trims than anything else, i would bet. Seems like some really smart modular way of doing this kind of…
I'm not sure I understand what the difference between method 1 (decals) and 3 (polygons) is? If you're going to be close, and it's not something simple, like a tiling line, use decals (polygons for the lines). Give them a chipped paint alpha, and lay them out however you like. Alternate methods I can think of: 1) 1 giant…
Well we use HeroEngine and our teams can all work on the same stuff at the same time... it makes undo interesting, to say the least. I'd imagine something like that could be done for 3d apps, but it'd be very, very difficult- they aren't really built to be able to do stuff like that and I can't imagine what you would need…
That's a definate improvement, it looks more realistic from a texturing standpoint, also theres some nice details in the back. And as for your question, I wouldn't use tileables on props, just buildings like this. Tileables should work for pretty much all architecture you are doing, but it requires more texture memory to…
Why dont you try 3d to 2d work flow .You could set up a camera as you like it use preexisting speedtree model render it with alpha if the tree has a good silhouette its going to work just fine after that you could apply any number to filters to turn in to more painterly look if that's what you are after , no painting…
Because clean (or, clean enough) UVs are just as important as clean enough geo. If you believe that the process is is a pain in the ass, then that just means that you haven't yet gotten used to creating your geo while thinking about your UVs all at the same time. If you do, all your seams will be planned and placed as the…
There's a lot in the comments that suggests that that program with an outrageous subscription price is a scam and the models are being made by actual artists. Though wth regards to stability for 3D artists, I am thinking it comes down to what you do in the studio and how creative your work is. In AAA for instance from my…

Hi, a while ago I started a new project for my portfolio. For this I wanted to design and build a modern day combat walker (aka mech) and place it on a small diorama base. The mech should be based of current day military technology and style (think of a mech version of a Leopard 2 or an Abrams). I used modern military…
