Definitely solid props. There are a couple areas that stood out to me. Cricket Bat: - You have shading issues showing on one side and also in your normal map. This will show up in some engines. To fix that you should make the edges around the sides hardened normals. To get the normal map to work correctly, you then need to…
One suggestion I have for 3D artists, even professional ones is to really study what a roughness map and metallic map are trying to simulate. There are a lot of great youtube videos out there that explain what those maps are trying to simulate. Even understanding the science behind what those maps are trying to do will go…
Had my GF crying when he met his dad, then when his dad sacrificed himself (and wiped the grid?) So from that angle, this movie is still compelling for non-geeks. Which makes it a win storywise. My feeling about the haters is that this movie came out when a prime slice of the audience were adolescents. I was 4 but…
*I hope I can post this here, cause I know it's not really cg related, but I really need help, so maybe the great dear luvly powerfull admins / mods can allow this for once . I finally got myself to pressing the exit game button on the World of Warcraft menu, so now I have time for serious things again. I got accepted at…
Joined the head and body together, try to get neck length correct, did a quick and dirty paint and material to try get a better feel. Had a bash at the face forms again, try to make it more refined. still trying to get things right... Here's where I am at. From now I'm going to go around cleaning and polishing the body,…
Finals over. Continuing trying to figure out creating functions in substance designer. @electricsauce thank you for the second .sbs, but Its hard to understand because its only the functions, not attached to anything so I do not exactly know what each is doing. Going to continue to try and hammer this out. I am thinking…
Ok so i'm trying to make a living with my craft like everyone else and I've decided that niches are the way to go. The niche i have leverage on is just the automotive field in general. By this i mean, i know the types of cars that are sought after, i know about badge engineering/ the chassis engine codes/ What company owns…
Welcome everyone to the 84th edition of the Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge for the months of May and June! This challenge is a way for real-time 3D artists to test their skills and create a piece of work based on concepts provided. It's open to those of all skill levels and we do our best to provide meaningful…
Frankly if you're going to be drawing references for scenes that require complex perspective and you're going to be modeling them anyway then you should just start by modeling them. "Sketch" it by blocking it out in 3D. Trying to draw it just strikes me as a waste of time and energy I hope I am not going to sound like a…
this was discussed last night between myself and a few other colleagues. we actually wondered if the school would be able to block the exe or the port that they connect to thru the game. since yesterday was basically the straw that broke the camels back (we all had to leave because of the disruptions), i had wondered…
