Thats fine but focus on geeting every proportions right and the same feeling of the concept - for example the stairs - they are 2 inclimbs going up with flat walkway between where the arch is. the staris are not that steep so you can have the nice depth and view of the second arch and builings down the strteet. the street…
Cheers for the examples; I understand the second example doesn't really make sense, I was literally just pointing out how I've been told that UVs can be OUTSIDE the 1-0 space. Cheers for all the examples, but I'm guessing you can as i was told use OUTSIDE of the 0-1 space for repeating walls etc? Sorry to sound simple but…
For my Artstation setup I was mainly looking at an awesome, recent character art post: Exiled Pink Knight by SeungHwan Jeong. My character is much simpler in comparison, but I took what I could in terms of how to present work well. So I took some headshots in Sequencer and MRQ, and also took some screenshots of my…
I can't post that example its under NDA :) The texture has changed from the OS map generated by max, but doesn't match the tangent map from maya, it's still very object-y looking. I'm not going to plough any more time into fiddling with this at the moment, I want to press on with the production work instead, confident that…
mmm, well I've had lights breaking when trying to use the mats customize utility to setup a scene once or twice, if that could never happen that would be great, it used to also get "lost" behind that preview sphere (you could click) to put the light behind the object, which kind sucked the 1st few times. Forget why i had…
A detour or not, depending on how you look at it. I was trying to understand eye refraction. After finding some examples, attempted to recreate the effect... and it sort of looked correct. There was just that one issue I spent a good deal of forever chasing down. The whole thing distorts depending on whether you look along…
Right. So the reference isn't for any one specific item. I understand the principles of efficient UV use, but the reference is more for providing a visual example to other people. Good packing is easy to find, but getting examples of reuse is what is tripping me up. People are happy to reuse textures in modular environment…
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!…
you can try learning by rough and smooth surfaces (glossy). This is base for classify a lot of materials, but of course, there are few exceptions like rubber materials, that can be smoothness but not necessarily have to emit or reflect the light like some glossy materials, cuz rubber materials absorve too much the light.…
I'm was not being dismissive(english is not my first language, and never knew "shenaningans" could have such a negative connotation, and for that I apologize), I'm well aware of the flexibility of the system, it's just that after conducting a few experiments last night I started to get the conclusion that what could be a…
