Re: Trim sheets. How to use them?
It depends on the texture. I would look at the asset in your engine with all the textures applied and decide how it looks. If you add loops where it's stretching, that starts to fix the distortion. If I really want to get rid of the distortion you have to add seams, but adding more texture uv splits adds more verts, so… -
Re: Advice. Modular workflow. One UV or separate.
That depends on what each piece looks like. You should try and layout your UVs so you can use trim sheets, since certain objects are going to be one type of material, and you also want to reduce the amount of textures used for your assets. You are actually dealing with a really complex issue due to texture limitations,… -
Re: I need some reference for learning ornamental modeling
I haven't read the linked thread there, but I made a ton of ornaments recently and the way I did it was to use clip art images (or make your own. photoshops new radial symmetry is great for this), project them onto a plane in zbrush, mask by color intensity, poly group, delete the excess part, then either mirror+weld weld… -
Re: Zbrush alpha ona curve, help please :)
When I use the Alpha rolling feature it just makes a bunch of instances of my alpha with a space between and not fully colored, even though i have it set to Freehand and the RGB is maxed at 100. Any thoughts? I might just do the Photoshop method but would like to do it in zbrush so I don't need to worry about if the UV… -
Re: Questions about unwraping UV and Normal map
You can definitely share that UV space, but keep in mind how is the texture going to look, if it's something like a chipped paint wood, the repetition might be visible. You can have three or more unique instead of all of them and mix them around. For P2, I usually flatten the strip, if you keep it round, if your map will… -
Re: OT: Food/Drink at the desk...
I don't really drop, but I knock over. I permanently have both a tall glass of water, and a cup of coffee off to my right hand side (left handed so it's well out of my way), out of the way of my keyboard, and the PC tower (sits on top of the desk). And I drink and put it back on my right hand side. But I sometimes drink,… -
Re: UE4: Fantasy ruins environment
Thanks for the feedback guys. Epic Beard Man, I know what you mean! The reason for this is that I have made a decision to get more props in after the first blockout stage. I normally get bored with big personal projects early because they are slow to come together and I want them to looking great straight away! :) . To… -
Re: Opinions/Critiques on my Portfolio
Portfolio layout is really spaced out. Not sure what you did or other people did. No contruction shots, flats, etc. The work comes across as dated and not game art. It would be of great benefit to present your art in UDK, CryEngine, or anything real time. Not seeing any examples of command of current tech (no normals,… -
Re: UDK problem with normal maps

Re: The Beast - Questions and Answers
Seavannah You can use any software to create your character. As stated in the rules, the edge flow and UV layout are part of what the jury will look at. Your asset needs to be useable/posable so the wireframe should reflect that. Only texture maps are available so if you're textturing inside ZBrush via polypaint and…
