Re: [Portfolio] - Armanguy's Portfolio crit/ Work thread
I think that you need some examples of organic modeling. for example you could make some trees and plants of various types. maybe think of doing some kind of feature organic prop, similar to how they here done in Turok. I think all in all your work is looking good but your normal maps are not reading very well. also i… -
what about a pixel contest?
Pixel Art Competition , this summer we will be starting our journey with flirting with cubes Contest Start Date ?? Contest End Date ?? Here Goes the Rules 1-Only cubes must be used , the spacing between the cube and the other must be a cube too, also you can't orientate the cubes . 2-Using real photos as Background is… -
Re: Is it possible to get a good bake without support loops?
This is really just a practical example, this model itself isn’t used for anything. I usually work on low-resource video games where the mesh has to be heavily optimized, which is why avoiding support loops gives us a big advantage. Sometimes my models can be seen in first person, and that’s where the main problems… -

Re: Artist exercises. (Formerly: Upping the ante on our next challenge(s).)
Zwebbie: You're getting hung up on examples of limitations. That list was examples. For instance: Don't use the colour grey. That's a limitation. I wasn't specifying them to be cliches individually but just examples of limitations so people were encouraged to draw away from cliches. Paul was right in that something like… -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
Awesome, thanks for that! @EQ: Thanks a lot for the write up. I realize the examples for the problems of the tessellation method are just that: broken down examples and caveats to look out for. But I'd say that in many cases like the cylinder, you might have set up smoothing groups for the lowpoly anyway and could do a… -
Re: Photo Scanning Pikachu
Plush is probably not the best choice for (detailed) photo scanning, as the deeper parts between the hair are obscured pretty quickly when you change your position and you'd need a crazy resolution to scan the actual hair. The overall falloff/fresnel effect caused by this might not matter that much, but could still play a… -
Re: Feedback from those who know about 3D art.
You asked for it. Remember you can also ignore this post. If you did not appreciate the response. Long story short; its very cold & mechanical but i don't see much cuteness & fun factor, (for me). Think a stylized approach to this kind of design would've spoken louder than a startwars rolling bot (one of the many they seem… -
Re: How do people get so much resolution in their textures on low poly models?
Here's an example, I highlighted the reused UVs in red, and the UV seams are pink. The reused UVs are offset in UV space 1 whole unit, which is purely optional. This way they reused bits are easier to see in a UV editor, but because the texture is tiled, they end up getting the same texture anyway!… -
Re: importance of LODs in game ?
Auto LOD is included in every major game engine and it can be good enough in most cases until it isn´t anymore. Like for example eyes or hair pieces which are suddenly missing. (these four examples show an active Auto LOD without the included Distance where it occurs) Depending on when those issues pop up, you could do…
