Re: Help with timeframe estimation of a project?
It would still be helpful to pick a more specific art approach, in order to figure out scope. The amount of time per asset in Cities:Skylines might work within your (apparently modest) budget. The amount of time per asset in Destiny would be way way beyond that. Both of those games are modern games. -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | January - February (94)
Cool designs, looking forward to see them translated into 3d. Looks like a good start @Hymil. What's your plan for the edge-treatment? Will you bake from a highpoly or something else? Are you going for some stylization or realistic texturing? Keep it up! I had to give the abandoned place a go. Once again will use Unity and… -
Re: [UDK] Hellcannon of Chaos (Warhammer) - Sourcefiles inside
I agree. Warhammer models can be hard to look at because of amount of details they have. OP model do not have this amount of detail. I think he captures well balance of details. It's much easier to look at it and focus. Though I'm warhammer fanboy so i cloud just be used to it ;p. -
Re: Figured i'd start something new: Tony Stark's Malibu Home (interior only)
How do you plan on texturing everything, as in the amount of sheets/size you're going to use? I'm just curious, as there's a pretty serious amount of stuff to put in here, and I'd be interested to know how you plan to tackle it for my own gain :) Looking great so far, the floor looks fantastic. -
Re: Blender 2.6 Modeling Tools. What's missing and what do you want?
Yeah I really miss it, Max has spoiled me. If I make a cylinder in Max, and decide it doesn't have the right amount of sides, I can change the amount of sides before collapsing it into an editable form. With Blender, I have to make a whole new Cylinder if I've deselected the first one! :thumbdown: -
Re: Fell off the bandwagon!
I'd say stick with the software you already know and concentrate on that. Art-wise, focus on quality, not the amount of time it takes at first. 1 room, tells a story, props, lighting. Get to the base of what makes textures really appealing, don't worry about size of textures, amount of polygons. Start with selling a scene. -
[Lightmap UVs] ~ How can I handle a very large asset with very little contiguous surfaces?
This is the asset I need to bake the lightmap for (the building in the centre): This thing is 10 meters long, 6 meters wide and 5 meters tall. Every plank is a separate mesh and there are some details here and there, on the inside.... My issue is that, unless I set the lightmap resolution to a whopping 512px, I always get… -
Concept Art Journey - Darkwatch REMASTER
I just played Darkwatch 2005 in PS2. I'm surprised how great this game could have been in its time. I spiraled to searching what went with the IP itself and the studio. I feel bad about what happened to the studio and the creators. This was easily another iconic Playstation IP everyone could have enjoyed today if it… -
Re: Environment Artist: Highpoly Zbrush or regular 3d program?
This. Don't let the bluntness of some of the other posts confuse you(the OP) because using something like Zbrush only makes things inefficient if you are working inefficiently with it. What's amateurish is pumping out diffuse textured stock assets that you slap with some photos. Low-poly is the idea here, but the goal is… -
Re: 3ds Max Scanline Baker Strange Ray Misses and Bright Normals
Generally speaking, vertex count is more important in games than triangle count. So if you have a model with 5000 verts and 7000 tris, vs a model with 5000 verts and 5000 tris, the 7000 tris model is actually much more efficient. Triangles are not free, but saving triangles at the cost of verts and these sort of UV layouts…
