Re: Basic topology exercises Giz
I would suggest learning subD modelling to be able to deal with CAD data or complex surfaces. Start small, start with a hammer, wrench or baseball bat, run it all by the steps you mentioned, texturing, retopo, materials and lighting. Even though you have work in portfolio but based on what you have described this will be a… -
Re: Trying to bake very seemingly simple Normals in SP2, weird notches and lines on edges appearing??
As Till mentioned: there's other factors that are causing problems with the last two cubes in the example image. These could be mismatched tangent spaces, flipped triangulation, strong horizon occlusion or some combination of issues. The first two cubes in the example image are sufficient to illustrate the point. The last… -
Fire Extinguisher | Flying Missile Breakdown
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR. For this portfolio piece I wanted to get inspired by the crafty, impossible yet believable weapon designs of these games. What better than C4 attached to something like a… -
Re: Panzer model-Feedback needed!!!!!!!
I do not understand what I am looking at here. Did you model that color render of that Panzer model? Or are you simply using it for reference. It is so completely different to your low poly. And that model itself is loaded to inaccuracies and you SHOULD NOT be using that for reference. Until you answer this I am only going… -
Re: Trimsheet prop?
You certainly can, however the purpose of trim is reusability too so unless you have some similar assets like bicycle for example that can use that same trimsheet it will just be like a unique texture. Here is a good example https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Z5Ngl8 -
Re: [Portfolio] JackyBoy, Environment Artist
Hm it's a good site and there's some very nice content but there isn't much either. The warehouse is a good example of environment artist but lighting lets it down and makes it average. The car is really awesome though. Basically my main crits are: Lack of content, need more environments than just single props like the… -
Re: What Does a Good UV Map Look Like?
I'm very curious about best UV practises. I wish there was a thread here for general UV tips like the giant topology thread and normal baking thread. Often I wonder if I'm unwrapping things inefficiently when I end up splitting things to minimize stretching but raising the vertex count in-engine. It seems like a balance… -
Re: Skipping cutscenes in games
I see Dark Souls used a lot as an example of a game that can tell a good story with little to no use of cutscenes, but it's important to realize that not every game tries to tell the same type of story as Dark Souls. In many good JRPGs, you can basically write a 6 page paper solely about the main character of the game. Can… -
Re: Normal maps.
Look at the difference between the final and the first image in the tutorial image I posted last page, the difference is clear. One looks baked from a high quality sculpt, the other looks flat and boring, and the differences are notable on the shader too, yes. You do not even have to renormalize unless you want to be… -
The mesh stretches when the bone is rotated
An example of stretching mesh: Example of stretching a mesh close-up: Automatic weight has smoothed the situation a bit, but it still stretch, here is an example: The same example, but only in close-up: Here is the blend file
