Re: [Portfolio] SarahFaber, environment artist
In terms of studying lighting, there are some good gnomon dvds or the eat 3d one on lighting and post process is pretty comprehensive and pertains to game work. after learning the basics behind lighting it really comes down to looking at images and trying to replicate that look a lot of the time. find examples of really… -
Re: Boring bathroom study [CE3]
I'm surprised you didn't lose your mind trying to get that perfect mirror look in CryEngine, did you have a different setup per angle? Choose your shots based on what you could see in the reflection? Its one of the main draw backs to a deferred renderer as you would need a whole new collection of buffers just to render a… -
Re: UV'ing High Poly Model Problems
Joopson and Cryrid Reconstruct Subdiv is only working for some sub divided parts and on others it's not allowing due to the presence of triangles. So this is a partial solution. It gives me 2 subdivs on the turret part but it's still 490k at subdiv 1. Originally I added 1 turbosmooth divided by smoothing groups in max so I… -
Re: Magic Staff Critique: Student
Thank you for your feedback! I agree with everything you've said. I definitely felt the movement was there, but it is all on one axis and could have benefited from being exaggerated more. The barnacles I was afraid maybe I would make too many and overbear the staff, something I hope to learn is when to push the design… -
Re: UV errors while extruding
I haven't used it but I have seen an Extrude and preserve UV's in Bonus Tools. But trying to keep UV's alive at same time as modeling does seem like exercise in frustration to me. Sometimes I use edge slide with preserve UV's but that's more during modeling tweaking phase, not creation -
Re: Blender dark pixel artifacts while rendering - How can i solve this?
Hard to understand what you mean. There are no single pixels sticking out, which would be fireflies most likely. And the stains could also be the texture. Eevee or Cycles? I guess with animation you use Eevee. Try increasing the shadowmap size. Are the lights baked? -

Re: Is Eastern style a downside for me to get a job?
technical route may be a bit more difficult...or maybe not... experience or a good folio that shows skill is what counts. For example, finding people who're good in Max, Maya, ZB, is easy. What's difficult to find? People who can create shaders, lighting or do optimization in UE4. Stuff that often requires some actual… -
Re: Sometimes, life gets in the way - but...
Welcome back! I haven't seen you around here before, but I like your determination! Good luck! I believe sheer grit and determination are necessary to becoming a great artist. As for obstacles go... It always felt like an uphill battle getting into the industry. It was really tough, but you have to believe that if you… -
Re: <Student> UE4 Castle Enviroment
A few critiques to help you get going: On the trees, I would spend some more time on the shape and variation. I noticed the trunk stays extremely thick all throughout its length, and the branches also stay very thick right to the end. They also feel very mobile-esque, being very uniform and game-ey. Though it was for Cry,…
