Great start Elod! This has potential to be really good. My biggest gripe with this is aspect ratio and lens choice. The space is very compressed in the frame, so it looks like you're using a default 35mm in Unreal or something similar? Which breaks conventions of cinematic language when it comes to showing vast open space…
Nice job! End result has really nice texturing work. The wireframe could use a significant amount of optimization I think. Usually for a game asset like this, you would want to have the edge flow match the design details, rather than being an evenly distributed quad grid. Curious how low you could go, and still preserve…
@piorAlso didn't have a drawing tablet at the time, actually still don't but currently looking at XPen's Artist 12 for what I want to do plus within budget of what is affordable. As for using AD to sketch with, well once I became comfortable dealing with each layer - masked curve grouping and various output settings this…
I'm looking to create 3D stylized assets and props of various Solarpunk styled scenes like this example: (source: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/dOxBwe ) STYLE I'm targeting a cartoon/anime stylized style similar to "Valorant" or "Borderlands 3" or "G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout": Another example of the targeted…

I like the variations, but the mid-level shapes are looking all a bit blobby, compared to your refs. I think you could be better served by using lower-poly meshes, with tiled textures and multi-texture blending. I'm reminded of Anthony Vaccaro's work on Uncharted 3, for example. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rZAvJ See…
Maybe you have already tried this? However, what I usually do to keep style. I have a hand full of alphas and brushes I always use for wood, metal, and or rocks. and I usually go about sculpting them in the same order each time. Clip curve > move topo > Trim dynamic on "edges" > the same 2 alphas every time > Orb flatten >…
Hi there everyone! After years and years of not really being around, I have an actual project to work on again.We have thrown around "Platinum Formation" and a bunch of other names, but insofar nothing has really stuck. For now I can just describe it as like Assault Suits Valken/ Front Mission GunHazard where the main…
@5rettski Observation and speculation can be informative but sometimes the best way to learn is to actually recreate the effect by starting from first principles. It may be helpful to break this problem down into it's constituent parts then work through solving each of them individually to build up an understanding of the…
I’ve been trying to get cleaner highlight flow on this model, but I keep running into issues where the highlights feel muddy or break abruptly — especially on larger surfaces and edges. I’m working in Toolbag using HDRI + a few lights. From a modeling standpoint the surfaces should be clean, but the highlight flow still…
