Using/Utilizing others' concept art for my portfolio!
I'm want to start working on my reel starting this month! Could anyone point me out to ethics and rules while using other artists' concept art! I mean I know it's a really wide topic, but something would be really helpful! For example, I am aiming to create a sci-fi environment. So, I did a "sci-fi environment concept art"… -
Correct Triangulation & smoothing artifacts.
Hey guys, I've looked through this forum quite a bit and haven't found anything answering my current problem. I'm sure other people have had this problem themselves... so forgive me if there is a thread solving this issue and I haven't looked hard enough :( So my issue is about proper triangulation on geometry like the one… -
Re: Qwertyuiop
Starting a boutique outsourcing studio is probably the most realistic way to make a decent amount of money - you have to compete on quality though because the large Chinese and Indian providers are unbeatable on scale/price. That puts you up against people like Airborn - who are very good The biggest problem is going to be… -
Re: bkost's improvement diary
Recently ran through Scott Eaton's hand anatomy lectures. To help solidify the wealth of knowledge Eaton shares, I've built a sculptor friendly landmark diagram for the hands. Although this piece is intended to be a personal study, my end goal is to provide a faithful representation of the forms present. If anyone has any… -
Re: What problems do new 3d artists from India face while applying for jobs.
Sorry for the late reply.....was having a hard time finding the degree program that i can go for. For now i have decided on a BVA degree program(4Y).......it is kind of a mix up of traditional art and 3d art fundamentals / life drawing / environment / sculpting / hard surface modeling are some of the subjects covered and… -
Re: Weird marmoset normal map issue
So the basic problem is a matter of bit depth, in other words how many colors an 8bit per channel image can display. This is generally a problem when you have very smooth surfaces, or your highpoly and your lowpoly geometry is very similar, so you get a very subtle result in the normal map. When that happens, the value… -
Re: VXGI 2.0 is out!!!!!! (dynamic ray tracing)
Definitely experiment more with your settings. If you're using any sort of ambient occlusion, including HBAO+, I found it's better to tone it down to get a more natural look. It has a tendency to interfere, in my opinion. Also, I noticed that screen space reflections stick on- so I had to check the box in the active PPV… -
Re: Environment Artist portfolio review
You'll want to make your whole images link to the content pages, not just the black bar with text. Also, I expect the main title (your name) to lead back to the homepage, in addition to the link you have in the menu. You have 3 different names (artofbeni, beni butnar, butnarbeni@gmail) which could confuse people. I suggest… -
Re: DOTA2 Hero Shader - 3DS Shader Material - RELEASED!
Hmm, still no joy. Tried Low Quality, High Quality, and Viewport 2.0; body remains in blackout for all three. I see a little reflection like edge lighting when the Normal Map is disabled. If I disable Hardware Shading the body appears green. Body appears textured as intended when using a blinn material with the shading… -
Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
OBlast, it all depends how nicely the sbm and obj were exported in the first place. If I understand correctly SBM can potentially store EVERYTHING needed. Normals, Tangents, and maybe other things I am not familiar with. Kindof like an ultimate 3D format. OBJ I am not sure, it *might* not export tangents at all. I think…
