Welcome to the 'Retro 3D FAQ', a thread dedicated to sharing information about the creation of 3D art for game consoles made before the age of programmable pixel shaders. If you enjoy the look of 3D games from the 90's and early 2000's, and would like to learn how to make such art yourself, this is the thread for you! :)…
Quality sample projects can be found on Fab, for example https://www.fab.com/category/tutorials-examples/tools--unreal-engine https://www.fab.com/category/3d-model/buildings-architecture?is_free=1&technical_features=modular
Like this? Look for syntax here in the "Example" columns. I didn't see Bit Depth, so I just guessed it could be bitDepth:8 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/lwef/-search-2x-wds-aqsreference
One thing that would be great with the emissive eyes, is if they actually lit up some of the eye socket around each eye, so it wasn't just the eyes in isolation. For example here's a mod using the effect and (mostly) it looks pretty neat https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/110023?tab=posts
Here's a handy material that's helped me out a lot so I figured I'd share with the community. I didn't invent this- @almighty_gir gave me a hand and was kind enough to take some time to explain how it works. The problem: I need to create accurate topographic lines from a 3d terrain, which are later used to create a map…
I'm a low poly modeler/animator. I mainly work in the Half-Life style, mostly creating weapons and hand models, but I can do other things as well. If you're need a commission contact me.Discord: ryder_joestarModels Portfolio: Example of animations: https://youtu.be/GkK0k8RV1OA?si=DfMXVy2vfrADd1s7…
When I'm stuck on getting started with a model, I think it helps to examine models that other people have made, gives me ideas for how to tackle things. An example, searching the web for "sketchfab 50's car lowpoly" https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/low-poly-1950s-car-2045e51f13024c07a6f0ed8a650c7905 Then you can use the…
It would likely distort the UVs a bit, but if you have some headroom there, moving back the lower jaw origin/joint would help a lot. Right now, it seems to sit below or even in front of the eye while it should be a good bit behind it. See your references (the blue dragon at the top left might be a bit hard to read, but the…
This is really overkill for a game but I can't really suggest much (detached handle example) without knowing the type of game and how you wanted to use the mug but as it stands I'd argue it's even overkill for a movie prop If it's a hero object in a first person game (like a gun in call of duty) then you want higher poly…
Yes, wheels dont have flatness at the moment but in the end renders will be :) Currently, I worked at headlights because previous version was not perfect. Now, look better! I also add little details , for example shark fin on roof and fuel cap:
