Re: Old Cintiq: Yay or Nay
got one of the 21's and to be honest its not all its cracked up to be, it has pretty much spent most of its life in the box since i got it 2 years ago. i would still use my intuos 3 when i had the cintiq plugged in. like zacd said they get really hot and dirty quickly and it is kind of awkward to use. but thats just my… -
Re: what should I put in my portfolio if I wanna be a sculptor?
Sculpting I'd definitely go for characters, organic or some environmental stuff. Characters are tough though, a lot harder to make look good than stand alone props. Yeah like ZacD said, there aren't really many (or any) jobs where the artist just sculpts, you're expected to know how to create a High poly version (sculpt),… -
Re: AT-ST W.I.P
Thanks for the tips guys ! @Jet_Pilot : It helped the render but I think I will still have to fix the edges with a smudge tool inside photoshop. Or shoudl I just leave the seamed edges as they are ? @ZacD : Ye I've checked the wiki before starting high poly and was trying to do this in most cases. Think I will have to redo… -
Re: [UDK] Depths - A Starcraft Inspired Environment
Thanks for the crit ZacD! I agree with the comments made that it should have received a better silhouette treatment. I think focusing on more accurately researching one specific race would have been the way to go. As for the Zerg structures, I intentionally tried to explore new territory to bring something new to the table… -
Re: Subd Workflow still used today?
Thanks guys for the insight. It's been really helpful. The main reason I asked this is because I was curious of how they manage to integrate the tesselation/displacement workflow without messing up the texturing because as @ZacD pointed out it would mess normal maps and diffuse,etc with some stretching. But for what I got… -
Re: Robot priest/wanderer/sniper/hunchback
dpaynter26: thanks : )) Yeah, if you have no imagination, just go with someone elses concepts for now. check out paul richards quake 4 stuff at autodestruct.com for example. Lonewolf, go sculpt your guns! : D paulsvoboda: Thanks, was afraid the shapes were too conservative on the face, but i hope itll work. pulled the… -
Re: Is adding supporting loops to control shading behaviour/normal map gradients a good practice?
@musashidan & @ZacD Thanks for your time. I believe that adding an extra loop is actually my case. I got rid of one extra loop. It looked great But only at that angle... From this one, because of the averaged normals in that area, it looks like this I didn't know that we can use face weighted normals for a high to low… -
Re: Mechanic character
Here are some wires to crit. So he's almost 11k tris in total. About 10k for the character and 1k for the wrench. I'll post the flats once I've finished dirtying him up a bit. @ZacD: Hmmm... The hips look fine to me. He's wearing an armor so I guess that's the reason why his hips are a bit a wide. I'm not sure, maybe… -
Re: Unreal Scene looking for feedback
@ZacD yes! Thanks for the advice, my goal is for the viewers eyes to go through the scene to the castle behond, but i see that I am blocking the view with the fog, I will use some colours to lead the viewers eye better along the path that I want. I think you are right about those rocks, I need to work on the silhouette and… -
Re: UE4_Japanese_Alleyway
Hello Guys ! Thank you all for taking the time to help me. So I tried to crank up the light map as ZacD said, 64 to 128-512 even 1024 nothing changed. But thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind (= The only solution I found for now is to make one big mesh of the road and the counter. The road is at 1024 and the…
