Re: Tips & tricks for working with large scenes
Get xsi, its really stable, theres a reason Blur use's it for layout. :D :D As Pior says, all the small details never carry over into the bake, the decimated shot you have above with the 'crackly' edges will read much better, especially when its been compressed. I think the decimated slab you've shown should be fine for… -
Re: Baked Normal map has a seam I don't know how to fix
Well here's the Normal map, shrunk it down from 2048 to 512 and saved as a JPEG because I'm not sure how big Polycount lets us post images, but hopefully its good enough. To be honest, I've thought about the pixels lining up properly, but I'm still pretty new to baking normal maps and doing UV layouts for characters in… -
Re: U4 Diorama - By the Bridge (zbrush+handpaint mix)
Alrighty, took some time to put together a texture and wireframe showcase thing. Didn't really know what to show and what isn't interesting so I'm just going to put everything up.. besides, I have a fairly simplistic website layout so you can just scroll back up quickly if you don't care about that stuff :) Glad you guys… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback
Layout is spot on. Not too many clicks to get to images. I like how I can see the image at a decent size but if I want a closer inspection I can. Better than thumbnail to shadow box in my opinion. The work its self is really nice, I particularly like Yeti'n Roll. If i was being really critical I'd say the vital information… -
Re: [UE4] Sci-Fi Corridor
Sorry about the images guys. I am useless at this posting forum stuff :P I've had to put them in as attachments cos I can't figure out how to get the image to show in my post lol. Here is another update though. I have moved onto UV'ing. I think I may have to work with about 3 to 4 UV sets, due to this being a partially big… -
Re: Using Deferred Decal Blend Mode on a Mesh in UE4
Hi. I contacted the guys at Epic Games earlier, and it seems like they are not planning to extend the decal materials to work with meshes :( . But there are 2 other possibilities, they are described in the Ster Citizen decals thread. One is to use locally projected textures on the base geometry. Not the cheapest, and most… -
Re: [3Ds Max] Scene management and/or exporting with MatID
Aw shucks. Thanks. OK so it's really just managing scene complexity. I use Layers a lot for this, I've been rendering large architectural scenes with tons of complexity... 1200-seat dinners in hotel event rooms, in hotels with multiple floors. Each floor having multiple furniture layouts (dinner, theatre, classroom, etc.).… -
Re: Sullum97 Irish Bar Looking for critique!
In my first semester I was tasked with doing this same bar. I had almost no experience, my scale was off, the layout was wrong, and I always felt guilty about how it turned out. In an effort to better understand the pbr workflow I gave myself a little over 2 weeks to accomplish this entire project and I was able to do it… -
Re: any tutorials on grouping and spreading out vegetation realistically
There's a great explanation of how to create good game landscape compositions in the Allods Online art bible, "Creating a World in 7 Days" (starting page 13 or so) http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Art_Bible I used similar techniques recently to make some environment layouts, a couple examples...… -
Re: zbrush multi mesh bursh without resizing....
If you have all the pieces you want and you know the layout you want, you could export them all and bring them into another 3d program and set them up, not ideal though I know. Essentially what you'd need to do is change your brush size but if you don't get it perfect that could be a hassle. Phil K has some great tutorials…
