MGS1 Case Study - Calling all you lowpoly fiends!
Hi all! The goal of this thread is to do an interactive case of the graphics of Metal Gear Solid 1 with the Polycount community. This is my favorite game of all time, and I can still remember just how absorbed I was with everything about this when I was growing up. Now I would like to study and appreciate it from a more… -
Re: Toolbag 2 is on Steam! | Marmoset Toolbag 2 | News & Announcements
Additive would probably be best, yes. but it depends on the look you're going for, i suppose. As a side note, here's a little video showing some of the shader changes i've made. It shows the default blinn-phong shape for Toolbag2, and then the GGX shape used by UE4/The Order 1866, and finally a Beckmann skin specular… -
3D Character/Props Artist seeking work - Experience in several shipped titles
Hi all, I am a 3D artist in the UK and was hoping to share my work. I have previously worked with several game developers like Manchester-based Clever Beans on titles such as 'Gods Will Fall', and the fantasy game 'Cloudborn', from the team at Antler Interactive. I have experience with several studios including Sony,… -
Re: modeling rock candy? (max or maya)
well think of them as crystals like the ones in starcraft that interlock together instead of clumps of squares. If you need it to be that low model a volume that is like a bat and make the texture do most of the work. Try making a high poly version ofr lack of a better term and give it a shader. Make it look like glass to… -
Re: Point light (shader?) issue
Looking at some of your images I can tell you're smoothing groups are off (unless you've baked a full high res to low normal map for this wall section with edge control). If you're exporting from Max, first try fixing the smoothing groups. A quick test, but by no means the best solution, select all faces, then in the edit… -
Re: MEL - Material attribute Command
You need to get the material node that's attached to the object. first you should use listRelatives to get the shape node https://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/Commands/listRelatives.html then you should use listConnections to get the shading group and then again to get the material connected to the shading group… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (93)
Hey everyone, Happy New Year! That’s a wrap for me for this challenge. Learned a lot through doing this challenge, and it’s been an amazing journey. While there’s still a lot missing in the scene and some meshes haven’t received a detail pass yet, I’m not leaving it like this. I’ll continue working on this environment… -
Re: [wip] lil'Monster (feedback appreciated)
Hi :) Regarding the texturing, I would take a look at the Dota 2 Character Art Guide (if you haven't already), also look at hand painted characters (try "yeti" on sketchfab?) to see how other people solve specific problems. You can give the fur more definition by adding some gradients and highlight along the strands. To… -
Re: Banjo-Kazooie Re-Jiggyed: Spiral Mountain
Hi! I think it looks really cool overall, congrats on finishing the project :+1: If I had to point at one thing to improve, it would be some of the fluffy/voluminous vegetation (tree tops) currently looking tad too busy, the cards not blending with the large shape. To address this (maybe you already did some of it?), you… -
Re: My struggles with engines
I had to double-check before writing this. Gouraud shading is used with vertex-lighting. What "Gouraud shading" really is, is a way of interpolating values within a triangle. Basically, to render a 3D triangle, the colours on its three vertices are calculated first (this is a mix of the lighting the vertices are receiving…
