Re: Portfolio Critique
Yeah, website layout itself is very nice, but content is confusing. Proper way to do this for env artist would be having 2-3 finished environments with dedicated pages where you show beauty shots, breakdowns, props, textures and shaders you made for that particular environment. As for character art, pretty much the same -… -
Re: Weird problem with importing meshes to SB or Marmoset
The unwrap might actually be the part of problem. Only judging from the model in the screenshot, I can't make out many of the features in the normal map's layout. I suspect that a lot of the UV borders are running across the face and contributing to the seams in conjunction with UV distortion and not enough padding maybe.… -
Re: Remove this post
Really inspiring stuff. I also want to make my own games and your approach makes alot of sense. Starting simple. Learning the basics is the only way to open doors to more advanced stuff. Also finishing a game is a good start. ;D Next 2 weeks I have my exams, after that I have loads of free time. I will also try to create a… -
Re: Texture Image Baking: How do I smooth jagged edges?
Usually it means your UVs aren't straight which means you have a lot of diagonal lines which will be jagged. You also have a lot of really thin, really sharp details on your high poly model which won't bake well or hold up at lower resolutions. Straighten your UVs, make your details chunkier and more rounded and you should… -
Re: saloon
To be honest, this was a test to see if a can handle a larger model. all the bakes and textures. It came down to less then 3000 tris with one texture (4k). I know I could do the texture better but as I said it was only a study (the unwrap was mostly auto generated in 3Ds Max, for a quick layout of textures). I do believe… -
Re: Calamity Jane
Thanks for all the comments, guys! Hope you all had a good Christmas. Funny to see some of the suggestions now as I have actually done a few of them. Her lips had bugged me for a while now and I thinned them a bit, and I did go back and redo the UV layouts to have just the one alpha texture! Glad to see others are catching… -
Re: Level Concept Wip
The problem is that with only black and white to layout something so complex you don't see any depth. So, while you know where different levels and such are, we don't understand and theres nothing to guide us. I would say try flipping it upside down and seeing if you could still easily discern the depth. I'm guessing it… -
Re: [Portfolio] tharle
I would put some wires of the scenes you have up as well as the flats, so your potential employers can see your level of efficiency. And some larger renders/screenshots couldn't hurt either. I like the layout of the website. One thing that bugs me, and it just may be me, but after cycling through all the pictures I have to… -
Re: flatten 3d uvw mapper beta test
Sure it's not rocket science, but it can be time consuming and tedious. Working from the art production angle, any tool that makes the job easier, faster and gives a good result is a definitely a plus for a working artist! If someone has the time to wrangle an efficient skin layout without resorting to plug-in tools, more… -
Re: Portfolio Sean Smith, Character Artist
Finally got the chance to do some additional work to my site. The more I looked at it, the more I hated it so I completely over-hauled it. I'll probably hate this layout/design soon too...haha. I went with the basic images on the front page, killed the ginormous header, less clicks, created completed projects their own…
