I lived 15 mins away from work. So that helped. It wasn't mandatory that it was 18 hours, usually just 12 for most people. For me though, it was a bit of a special case as I was one out of two environment artists remaining on the project by that time. Most had quit and moved on. If you watch the credits at the beginning of…
You can go about that way by re-using the same assets within that asset and scaling them, rotating them, modifying parts of it differently. One thing I forgot to mention is that in the image supplied, the electric box in the two different shots with different modules inside can easily be put on one texture page. You…
Actually, the Dirt Layer feature is obsolete and was replaced by the Blend Layer. http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/SDKDOC2/Blend+Layer Diffuse color is changing the appearance of all geometry using an affected material and you will need two materials applied to separate parts of the mesh or two meshes if you want to…
Yeah and it's the same way particle systems work. You have a thousand quads all drawn in one draw call. The way it works is there's usually one of two things: a special break command sent added as part of the mesh to say we want to start drawing a new section, or (more commonly) "degenerate" geo, which are just zero-sized…
Hello! I've been posting daily sculpts for two weeks into my sketchbook but I realize thats probably not the forum for feedback. I'll post all the ones Ive done so far into this master post and then trickle them out as I work my way through the second part of this month of sculpting. To not flood the page I'll just post…
@Noren thank you for clarifying about the normals - this whole thread has been very educational! I've took all pn board and after lots of tweaking i fixed everything up, and even optimised my UVs some more. Im still getting some shadowing on the bake, but I think this is a result of the low poly being too low, and not…
Interesting.. blender does have several "types" for the width: Oddset, Width, Depth, Percent, Absolute With the last one it can do waht 3DSmax does.. (checking with Blender3.6 because my internet PC can't run >4.0 :wink: ) ..ohh wait.. checking 3.01.. and also blender 2.93 from 2021 could do this too: but not Blender 2.8..…
Neat theme and nice start also if I may suggest some sort of contextual hook for this concept, plus truth be told might come off a tad subjectively biased too... Well namely arachnids, specifically spiders I personally adore them. Where I live, we grow them pretty darn big and hairy (think scaled down Aragog from HP) and…
Reseting the tool can also fix issues like that too. Go to the tools properties and there will be a reset button. The issue might be on the transform itself, always a good idea to reset it too.
Since last time I've spent a lot of time tweaking and re-tweaking the fog and added some ground fog for some added atmosphere. I had a big problem with not being able to get enough moonlight on the house whilst also getting enough moonlight on the rest of the scene. Someone I showed this to said I needed more light on the…
