It is still like that though, lots of optimization has to happen to run on the limited memory on consoles and mobile. The limited time good uv work takes is worth the gains by a pretty big margin. Why use 2k map if with good uv work you can accomplish the same in half or a quarter of the res. Most games have hundreds to…
Zepic - First i get a concept picture from one of the guys - and break it down of what i need to build. Normaly i do just pieces in highpoly and render it out on a texture.(thats why i cannot really show highpoly stuff, just a mess of pieces) After the HP/LP pass i build the stuff, mostly copy paste and tileable pieces. To…
Work on a society where murder is not considered as often as it is in America. The murder count in Iceland for the past decade is lower than 10. You're thinking about it backwards. How do I console my feelings of loss. Wouldn't you rather not suffer that loss at all? Revenge fulfillment is hollow at best. When you have…
The research contradicts a lot of that plus it wouldn't match the characters its not James Bond. I think its inaccurate to compare it to an old folks retirement home because they are about comfort, big chairs and house hold furniture and don't have tech equipment everywhere. When you look at the decor of the 70's brown is…
Great scene! I like the choice of palette here and the colors feel well balanced. I really like the steamy particles. They're very screenshot-able. I think my favorite materials in the scene are the pipes on the ceiling. You can clearly see some definition on those pieces where the grime covers the cleaner pipes. For my 2…
With all of these great looking WIPs, I'm pretty sure that I'm out of my league, but I did say I wanted to give this a try when this started. Sorry for the delay, my first attempt wasn't too good as I was trying to sculpt Anubis with Zspheres and everything seemed to be a bit wonky, so instead I'm attempting to go by a…
Hi guy<s sorry for the delay i had to refresh my memory about how to use substance designer since i have the 4.6 version and i came up with a way better sand plus i add sparkling effect to the sand here what i have so far: Here the roughness map Here a close up view of the roughness map Now the real test is to put this…
Great point about how weak government security is. It's been this way for decades. Watergate was leaked, and it cost Nixon the presidency. Iran-Contra was leaked, and Reagan dodged the bullet but Oliver North was thrown under the bus. Clinton we've already mentioned. Wikileaks is making those incidents look like small…
The industry hasn't been that way for a while now. As it grew, it transitioned into a business model where the flop of a single game could kill an entire studio. Its the consequence of having mega-publishers and development budgets with 8 figures. (and even higher marketing budgets) After a string of successes earlier in…
Thanks for the feedback Mark. I plan on adding more ageing to the entire scene as soon as I'm happy with the layout of the alleyway and buildings. I'll be using vertex painting and decals to break up my tiling textures soon. Most of my materials in the scene don't have any reflective properties at the moment, but I'll be…
