Re: Have you paid for your photoshop?
Its certainly not a cheap line of work IF you choose do to go with the most expensive tools out there, but they are far from being a requirement. To note, being more expensive doesnt necessarily mean better in what kind of assets it can pump out. Modo for example is more than half the price of Maya, yet arguably a far… -
Re: How do you control your artstyle?
This is going to sound arrogant on my part but I felt that one of your paragraphs is misled. Values play a more important role in making an image muddy/dark. It's more important to play with what is dark and what is bright. What brings contrast and what doesn't. What color you choose is secondary to that. From my… -
Re: How often do you disagree with your peers/superiors?
Frequently , and I am open about it - always have been. If you let something you think is shit go by without raising it, you are guilty of making the end product worse than it needs to be. It doesn't matter whether its within your discipline or not, making video games is a team sport and you all suffer if its crap and… -
Re: New to Zbrush...how many times do you typically subdivide your mesh?
It depends on your need, even when you work with your mesh, you can also feel it. The higher you subdivision, the less you could control your mesh. So only subdivi when you feel like you need it, for the first stage liking blocking the mesh, try to get as low as you can so it will be easy for you to control your mesh, if… -
Re: With polygon counts rising are you going to update your portfolio with 100k meshes?
Polygons are just numbers in a portfolio, and only if you decide to show them off. What counts is what looks good and shows competence. If your characer is movie grade and rendered over 8 hours in arnold, whatever. The result counts. Show what you can pull off, and let the companies give you constraints later. If you… -
Re: Building modular interiors question!
Hi Jordank95. Wall dimensions question: The best way to determine the needs you are talking about is to lay these pieces out in your 3D engine. Make a 3x3m pieces and compare them to the 4x4 pieces and see what works better for your project. 4x4 might be easier if you don't want to do fractions. Also you might need less… -
Re: Run your own studio how you want!
Upgrade them to Level 5, then switch careers. In fact, switch ALL their careers to level 5. When you have enough of their base careers at level 5 (designer, sound engineer, writer, coder) you unlock producer When you level up producer to level 5, you get to unlock Director When you level up Director to level 5, I think you… -
Re: how do YOU create your height maps?
Like almighty_gir stated here, it really depends on what you want. What kind of heightmap do you want? If you want nice displacement results, it will require baking from a high-poly mesh. If you just want something similar to a bump map, well then you can get that generated from a 2D diffuse map. Or just paint it yourself. -
Re: Do you support game creators even if their personal views are at odds with yours?
And comparing people to animals makes you no better than the people many of you label as "bigots." Denying the humanity of others, for better or worse, is the beginning of the very attitudes that some of you are railing against. Do not fight with monsters, lest you become one. And when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss… -
How do you manage your reference?
Heya, I was curious how you guys managed your textures or inspiration/influence or other images. I don't mean during production, Kuadro, layers and plane scripts in 3D packages are fine for that. I mean when just gathering images at the beginning of a project. Of course you could just dump them into folders but I was…
