I've iterated on the lighting using the feedback everyone provided. Here's what I've done: * Most of my lights were set to dynamic (some were set to static, need to pay more attention to that). * Materials that were wayyyyy to shiny were modfied. There's a few more materials that will need to be dialed down. * The exp…
People still use BPS but not really to build entire levels, maybe for blocking/gray boxing but not for final levels. Terrain is usually generated either in the editor using a landscape system or in a separate app like WorldMachine. Buildings, foliage and props are usually modular static mesh pieces. Hammer is an ancient…
I'm not sure about the lighting, I know Skyrim does it very light but then that is at the cost of realism. I think you have a good inbetween, though you could make the light of your torches a bit warmer. One thing Skyrim is really good at is directing the player, using the environment to tell you where to go. You should…

There are good and bad workflows,but not "best" workflows.If you compare workflows like the rounded edge shader and the Zbrush smoothing method, you'll notice that both have their strengths and weaknesses.The first method is faster but you can't use it outside of a specific software.The second can be exported anywhere but…
It's not that unique sci-fi doesn't exist, it's that companies are too chickenshit to take a chance. What recent sci-fi film/game actually made you go, "whoa, what?" based on visual design alone? I'm hard pressed to think of anything notable within the last decade that broke any mold at all. Ghibli always managed to bring…
Assigning selected objects to a layer is annoying in 2016 and beyond. I did a listener and created a macroscript and set it to a shortcut. That way I can just hit the shortcut and click on the layer. This native function I couldn't really find in the dialog -_-. But you can build a script. Something I ran into though. It…
well to be honest, one of the reasons might be how autodesk's does business. back in the day when I went to school school reps wanted to get max, but got a all kids of attitude from the sales rep. They got a nice response from alias, so the school got Maya and said f you to max. Maya works on both Mac and PC Max doesn't...…
I thought the video was a load of bollocks in all honesty. I think the guy that made it has more problems ahead of him frankly because he's blaming something external for his internal issues and this is a delaying tactic( or spiritual and philosophical thumb sucking) in the progress we ought to make toward realizing what…
Hey guys, thanks for the crit so far. I'm in the process of rescaling the scene as it was far too big when i put a character mesh in to have a look. (i did want it to be large but turns out i made it too large) I've solved the lighting problem, unfortunately i didnt know what was causing it and i still don't however, the…
