Re: Joshs super fantastic improvement thread
Off-hand, I'd say that you need to focus on texturing - both applying UVs and creating the actual textures. None of your models appear to have a texture, just simple materials. Modelling is important, but in many ways it's the easiest third of the job; creating an efficient UV layout and quality textures are at least as… -
Re: KRISS Vector
update: Got the UVs done and packed them all into one layout. I left enough padding for a 2k texture, but I'll probably do a 4k diffuse on this. Anyways, Here's the progress. @ Havoc89, thanks man- I see you've made some nice weapons. @CGA, thanks, but there are a lot of people much better than me at hard surface modeling… -
Re: Multiple UV channels using texture coordinate node?
i dont believe the way you're going about this will work. I would either a: use the UVs from channel one- and use either a lower resolution texture for the emissive or embed the emissive map into the alpha channel of one of your textures. b: assign 2 materials to your object- one for the building, one for lights. The… -
Re: Environment Artist Portfolio Critique
the layout is good and clean. you'll want to give more information on the scenes - some texture flats, shots of some of the props by themselves. avoid the UDK wireframes. there are better ways to show that if you decide to - though i'd argue that the scene you chose to show wireframe on is not the best scene to do so with… -
Re: Which programs are used for basic 2D animations?
although, if you are savvy enough with ActionScript3, you can use flashdevelop and the flexSDK to produce script based animation without owning Flash. You can embed external bitmaps, although all your text layout and shape creation would be code-based. You can do some pretty kicking animation and sequencing with the… -
Re: WIP_KowloonCity_Corridor
Manage to get some time to adjust the blockout further. Do a quick lighting pass on the transition between the corridor to the exit, just to give myself a better visual on how the mood is going to look like. Will kind of consider locking down the blockout for now as I need to start building some high poly assets. Will… -
Re: Mudbox diffuse/normal matching problem
the mismatch looks like a difference in baking method. is the diffuse baked inside Mudbox ? also, why would you want to use default UVs for baking the normal map for lowpoly. ideally the lowpoly should be created outside Mudbox, UV layout down in your native 3d modeling app, triangulated and exported for baking maps. if… -
Re: UTMC - CGAmanra
Haha! Agreed. As for comp stuff, sense made. Thanks for the info! I'm a visual learner so yeah scribbles all over is a must! I'm finding that most of what I've made are 'discovery' pieces. I need to move into more technical stuff of concept art. Functionality, layout all of that fun stuff. -Update- Think I'll call this… -
Re: Polycount's Sketch Thread!
MagicSugar - thanks man Allan I like it! I think that you should structure up the thumbs and sketches a bit more so they dont come of as to messy, presentation and layout is key, keep it simple. As for the concept, Some more polish on him would be nice, maybe make him less flat by tweeking/adding shadows and highlight, -… -
Re: CryEngine Portfolio level + custom assets: Lab X2
I have the basic layout sketched out (tracks, tunnel entrance, swamp, hillside w/ RADAR, etc), and I have about 900 reference images from the real Chernobyl exclusion zone. I've been going through these to pick out which buildings I think would fit in for the lab complex as well as the surrounding areas. For example, this…
