Re: Side-Scroller Level Design
Limbo. Because it feels very natural and free, unconstrained from things like tile sets or other modular/repetitive things. This is felt in the gameplay itself, where interactive objects (such as the boat) are very well integrated into the game world. It also had well-working parralax layers that didn't feel disconnected,… -
Re: Character Artist switching to Environment Artist?
This is a bit off topic, but you bring up an interesting point. I'm an environment artist, been one my whole career and really have no interest in switching. I find creating generic male A or Female B a tedious and boring part of character art and oddly enough find the tedious parts of environment art still fun. But my… -
Re: [UE4] Vampire Apprentice
July 1st, 2018 Was working on the usual high poly to low poly baking, when it dawned on me. Can just bypass the high poly & bakes & just remap to a trim sheet instead. At least for common assets, and reserve baking for hero props. This should free up some overhead and speed up process. https://youtu.be/dGffytWd4ag… -
Re: From blender to MAX or MAYA??
As mentioned, comes down to personal preference. IMO though, I see Maya more as a organic/freeformish kind of modeling app, and great for rigging and animation. While Max to me seems more like a structural and precise app. Still, both can be used to create modular assets with the same precision and vice versa. And there's… -
Re: Why is everyone using massive PNG files for their shots?
this isn't the best example but its what I have on hand as im working on some modular stuff, the difference in the Jpeg is subtle in this but its still there Jpeg- Hard to notice in this image but the background colour is lightly artifacting http://imgur.com/tKJnpWf -92.8kb No.7 Jpeg, as Recommended here more artifacts… -
Re: Space Marine Miniature
Thanks for the comments guys. aesir: I don't actually remember how many heads tall it is, I started with an old base body and then built on it. I am sure I agonized about it at the time, but yeah, I don't remember. The hands and head are also separately kit bashed so they might be off. Jon Rush: Thanks for the heads up… -
Re: Staying Organized: File Naming Conventions
It's more important that there is a naming convention than what it acutally is. Unbelievably I've worked with people who didn't use one. Something like what billysClint suggested is pretty similar to what I do. However I usually try to avoid having too many subfolders and put all the textures and mesh files for one asset… -
Re: Unreal 3 engine videos ( New content )
I would think that with art assets taking as long as they take to make that there would be a strong need for modular design and level assets that can work in multiple ways or with multiple texture sets. With each art asset taking a valuable amount of time to come to fruition, it would be paramount to design assets that can… -
Re: Alley Way scene
I agree about the ambient light level, needs to be bumped up and possibly be made up of more cool colors. Something also to keep in mind with city scenes is light pollution, often talked about when looking at the stars but also effects the light levels on the ground also. I'm a firm believer that light in dark scenes… -
Re: UT3 Instagib Map CTF-Battery
gameplay, fast and furious. Map would make a great 1 on 1 map with a little tweaking. If you could drop the floor and make another level, add more Z-axis this CTF map would be even better. Graphics side, I'm not a fan of everything being the same colored lighting. Look at any UT3 community bonus packs for example, they all…
