Re: Tech art portfolio feedback
Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll probably do a long scrollpage version of the site and see if that works. Or might go back to the old site and add the tech stuff in there. Both sites are hosted on the same server, only difference is that the old one is just plain HTML and the new one is wordpress, so easier to maintain.… -
Re: Sketchbook: RedRogueXIII
So some parts can take hell of a long time to model once, redo, and just take longer than expected to figure out the shapes and flows. This is one of them: Overkill on the detail perhaps, but I had the refs and was doing it already so I figured why not take the extra steps. Only missing the firing pin spring, but I did… -
Re: Graphics card question
I forgot to answer to this, so I actually happened to order a new custom PC already: - MSI x470 Gaming Pro Carbon - AMD Ryzen 7 2700x, 3.7GHz, 8c/16t + Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 aftermarket CPU cooler - Kingston 64Gb HyperX Predator DDR4 RAM, 3000Mhz, CL15, 1.35V - EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Black Edtion, 11Gb - C-drive: Samsung… -
Re: Some (very) basic questions regarding file optimization for texturing meshes for use in game engines
Engines like UE4/Unity are using real-time PBR shaders. Offline renderers like Arnold are using their own proprietary shaders. They are completely different shading models and are not compatible. Offline renderers are starting to adopt the map channels of real-time engines to recreate the material, but not the shader… -
Re: Creepy Laundromat
OH man, a thousand apologizes I just noticed your message. I was going to add those rust and scuffs that are in the reference image as decals. That way I could have stronger control, resolution flexibility while maintaining a lower vert count. I just noticed the blur you mentioned that might be from the camera I have… -
Re: Landscape Design Tutorials
Ahh, cool! I'd say the scene just needs props, like reusable boulders of various size to add geometric variation to the rougher base. Which you probably planned to do already. (: There is one neat trick posted by Slum in this thread, bit extreme and intended for baking down to normal maps, but could be used at a lesser… -
Re: Mycon Caves
Smallish update. Haven't have time to work on this much today. Planning:Since this entire place is almost 100% organic, I don't think I'm going to ha ve that many modular sets. Aside from a few mushroom, rock, and stalagtite/mite sets, most of my assets will probably be unique.I want to experiment with UDK's advanced… -
Re: Sketchbook: Willow Paquette
My plan to start things off is to work in modular pieces which I put together quickly after gathering measurements of real world sizes and began to get something in engine to look at and begin working from there. At this point, the models are almost a caricature of what they are going to be just to get proportions and… -
Re: TDS "Equalizer" - Fractured Space
184k tris and 8 materials (4 hull materials, 4 decal materials). All the texture inputs (aside from the manufacturer decals) are greyscale, tinted in the engine with 3 tints per material (masked via pure R, G and B vertex colour). Looking at a 2048 normal map, a 2048 multimap (diffuse-roughness-dirtmap-transparency) and… -
Re: [Portfolio] Ryan Hawkins | Work In Progress
Hey Ryan, Upfront: I'm going to be a little hard on you, as I saw a couple of little things that I did not like or that a bit bad. Sorry! :( 1: I think your hawk graphic in the header has some really bad aliasing that you could probably quite easily fix, but stands out to me as sloppy or rushed. 2:You've got these rounded…
