Re: [WIP] RED V-Raptor camera, Plasticity practice
The diffuse color is basically a mask for the strength of your thin film. As you head towards white, it decreases. So what is your diffuse color for the glass? Clear glass usually is 255 white. Then you can add Fog Color to increase the glass color where it gets thicker. Effects like this, where we are seeing further… -
Re: Current Industry Standard workflow for 3D artists??
To echo some of the above : - Be excellent at creating highpoly models, both sculpted and as manually crafted geo - Be excellent at creating ingame meshes - Be excellent at UVs and baking. - Also pick a 3D CAD software like Fusion, Moi3D or Plasticity. And then things will vary from one project to another. Honestly not… -
Re: Necessary budget for building a PC to become a 3D Game Character Artist
It's absolutely not necessary to go buy a giant workstation to make 3d models and hasn't been since about 2008. You can probably do the work you need to do on that machine quite comfortably - I used a worse one when I was working on first party PS4 titles. You may want more ram for zbrush but in general I'd suggest not… -
Re: Normal Map Issues at UV-Seams
Hi! Certainly a simple example would be best way to get familiar with how tangent space normal maps look/ behave and to set things up in the soft that's being rendered in. Checking the shared Painter file, it looks like the seam showing in that face area is exacerbated by seams/ discontinuity in the curvature map (and as a… -
Re: Portfolio Review
I'd suggest taking part in the next few environment challenges posted here on Polycount. The subject matter selection is always on point and those in the know (leads like myself) will see your work there, the bonus of having that public record down the line is potential employers can see how you handle feedback, how you… -
Re: The Future of the Dota 2 Workshop
The only issue is that it seems like not everyone has access to perks like custom animations on their items or sets, and it's been strange to say the least. To bring up an example we were asked to do an item to be given out a tournament in Korea and were asked how to spice it up. The answer was custom animations, which… -
Re: Discouraged on Making High Poly - Looking for Modeling Workflow Advice
I feel like I should mention, incase it changes the advice, that I don't use Zbrush and I'm doing hard surface high poly modeling. Although that said, I really don't mean to brush any advice off, it seems like a lot of the advice you guys gave still stands. So thanks very much! This is a part of why I created this post. I… -
Re: Traditional 2D art is... weird
It must be for you, because i only saw spots, and fat brush strokes i fail to identify as real forms. It's worse than to have blindness, or seeing everything blurry. That brown/dark shape under her arm, is supossed to be a hand? and where are the folds of the clothes? what is she carrying? I think it could be a matter of… -
Re: Texturing theory problem that is kicking my butt
Yeah overgrunging happens way too much, usually because it's an easy way to make things look interesting. But from general use things don't get crazy grunged in real life so some different methods must be implemented. Everything has a small amount of wear as was previously mentioned, but it takes a different form than your… -
