Re: Amir's Portfolio environments
Choco I just wanted to stop by this glorious thread and say thanks for all of the tutorials and media you've shared with the polycount community. Your environment and terrain work is such a pleasure to look at and it's great hearing about your processes. There are definitely weaker areas of my latest environment piece that… -
Re: Crunch Time in the Games Industry
I think what's becoming more prevalent, is the 'passive crunch' culture that Google pioneered. At these studios 'Crunch' isn't mandated, but a LOT of people take extra time to ensure their work is the absolute best it can be within tighter deadlines (only works at studios that grant a significant amount of autonomy). Which… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback - Prop Artist
Out of curiosity, did the other studios actually explicitly say you're not good enough? Because a "no" can just as likely mean "We don't need another prop artist right now." Anyways, most of your stuff looks very solid to me. The root scene seems a bit weaker than the others, so I'd probably drop that. On the couch,… -
Re: Are there good employment opportunities for a low poly 3D artist? (without sculpting)
If you get technical, then it can be a bit of both. Before Switch, Nintendo handhelds were fundamentally weak and couldn't handle the same game engines used on consoles/PC, so we did see a lot more games that intentionally went with a low poly artstyle. But now that they caught up to PS4/XB1 (although still being weaker… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge January 2014 (15)

I wanted to add some more retro to my scene, so i… -
Re: "Spirit" Sniper Rifle - FPS
The bipod was made by this reference Full disclosure, I am starting to think I may have folded them the wrong way haha. Though the second picture makes it look like they do fold inward. I am not 100% sure And the majority of the weapon is based off of this weapon. Savage 110 I grabbed a pic of the stock meeting the main… -
Re: foliage shading question.
If you're using subsurface scattering, you need to plug in a value for the opacity channel. I believe 1 is completely opaque and 0 is complete translucent and 0.5 is semi-transparent. You also want to check the strength of your light source. A very bright lightsource makes the SSS more obvious whereas a weaker or duller… -
Re: Bugs! We got 'em!
Can you please confirm, cause I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. So you are saying that if there is no ad block - on all , or some of those devices, and\or when you reach the level up or whaverer thing, or when does this occurs? Cause on my computer I use ad block and I got the previous badges and other stuff… -
Re: Oddworld - Strangers Wrath.
It's a fun, solid game. Controls are perfect and responsive, the story is engaging, it is visually stunning with great audio. The weapons choice is fairly unique, and I like the fact that for the most part you not only have to hunt bounties, but hunt for ammo, In many respects it does play like Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver,… -
Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
Try expanding the cage more horizontally than vertically. That should help cut down on the wavering edges a little (although it can introduce other issues like more pronounced skewing on the top/bottom of the cylinders - in this case it's all flat anyway so you should be fine).
