Re: BioWare and Mythic Combine to Form New EA 'RPG/MMO Studio Group
problem is, over here in the EU, our bug report system goes to GOA, who couldn't give a rats ass. we get blanket responses of "it's working as intended", or "you'll get an update one day, and no, we won't refund you the item(s) you lost". if a mythic employee would post on the euro forum just to say "hey, we really do read… -
Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
I am glad that I stumbled onto this discussion. . . I am still in shock over the poor treatment of Pixologic ZBrush 2022 perpetual license customers. I suspect that I am one of the last ZBrush personal perpetual license purchasers. I purchased my license for USD$895 on 2021.12.28 after reading the "no update costs in 16… -
Re: Retopology - gamedev workflow, uv, tris, cycles
One of the nice things about retopoing a highpoly for games is not having to worry about tris. You can use them to optimize your mesh freely. Using quads where possible means you can edit the lowpoly mesh quickly when the art director brings in changes. If you import your game mesh into unreal for example, it gets… -
Re: Flower Girl Character Model
I like how you sculpted the face! Throwing colors in will help to judge if it needs adjustment, but you did a fine job on the nose, something that tends to trip most artists when trying to make a 3D out of a stylized 2D work. How closely to the illustration do you intend to stick? The sculpt is shorter than the original,… -
Re: Smithsonian 3D Program - Are the models free...? How to get them?
The Smithsonian is about to release these 3D models and more. They're still working on finalizing the usage rights, and delivery date, though it's likely within a couple months. They intend to release as much as possible using CC0 (public domain), and provide easy ways to download and use the content. However some of the… -
Re: Any new tech artists need to be aware of for the coming Next-Gen?
I mean, consider what you have to gain from moving your texture source to Linear space .... Currently, the lifetime of a regular texture during a rendered frame, as regards colorspaces, goes like this : * Texture loaded/sampled by shader. * Texture sample converted in the shader from sRGB to Linear (if needed, some formats… -

Re: Minienvs and studies sketchbook
Some concrete ! I'm still wrapping my head around lots of things , from calibrations of exports from substance to unity ( what's linear or srgb , if unity "albedo" is substance's base color or diffuse , and whether to use metallic even if i feel more in control with spec/gloss workflow..) The concrete is a lot simpler than… -
Re: General Retopology question
I get your argument, I just don't see why you insist on repeating so much as I've yet to suggest BPR is more superior to MentalRay/VRay/etc. I've even been agreeing with you for the most part. But what hasn't seemed to click yet is that the end goal is to achieve the final result that the artist wants for the image, which… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Kingdom Over the Desert - EpicBeardMan
Update #5 I am finished with the "detailed" blockout. I've made all the objects that I intended to and I populated the space as much as I tought was appropriate. Since the last update (update #4) I added a chandalier and some wall ornament designs which break the blandness of the walls. And I also changed the banner. I…
