Re: Should I practice with triangles if I want to work in games industry?
Use case for triangles or indeed ngons, is when a given surface would generally be flat (planar) particularly applicable for mechanical hard surface objects - shape and their mesh boundary, has either a bevel or chamfer applied before enabling a subdivision/turbosmooth operation because it may not always be an option to… -
Re: A Metal Vase. Asking for help!
I would create a mask from ao, curvature and a grunge map an use that as a starting point for roughness. Fiddle with that until you get something with more variation I would also add some blurred noise as a normal - masked by ao - in order to create some dents and wobbling in the surface -
Re: Archviz swimmingpool in UDK
Because that'll just create a basic phong material, which is a basic representation of surfaces in real life. There's many view dependent, surface dependent effects that occur on surfaces that simply phong spec diffuse and normal can't express. -
Re: How would you model this?
yeah looking at the lowpoly, how straight the lines appear. i assume they built the lowpoly first, then used it to create the highpoly, not sure if it was actually sculpted or maybe just smoothed, baked and all surface detail is just done in a software like substance painter. -
Re: Current Character - Rot Warrior
I would use noise to help distinguish between the different materials and surfaces. As it is now you have it spread across everything pretty evenly. It would be much more readable if you varied the noise/amount from surface to surface. Also, some of your hard surfaces are pretty soft and lumpy. There should be a distinct… -
Re: Intuos3 or 4? Advice needed
It has to do with the rougher surface of the intuos 4. I personally like the surface much more. Feels like paper. -
Re: Acid Pool Material Animation Question
also look at the goo material in dm_deck, it is too parts there is the surface shader, and a effect ot apply to stuff under the surface. -

Joe's hard surface makes my surface hard On a serious note, how long did this take you (roughly)? -
Re: maya 8.5 baking?
Surface Sampler, I believe! Or something like Surface Transfer... one of those should be what you want anyway. -
