Re: Material Rendering tutorial
felipefrango - You can change your light shadow rendering method - it's default is set to a 512 shadow map. Under your light general parameters there's a shadows section, just hit the drop down and you can select the ray traced shadows as ZacD pointed out or increase your shadow map size in the "Shadow Map Params" tab. I… -
Re: Using Marmoset vs UE4 for portfolio work?
Personally I use marmoset to get some good looking images for my portfolio. Some of the engines I've worked with are quite old and don't do my assets justice, so I throw them in there to get some nicer shots. (Exactly what ZacD said right above) That said, getting stuff working ingame and showing them in context is also… -
Re: Assassin's Creed Unity
for those complaining about "flat lighting", as in ZacD's picture above... have any of you ever actually looked outside, and seen just how fucking "flatly lit" real life looks? it's boring and uninteresting but it's still very much REAL, you can expect to see more of this as games become more and more realistic in their… -
Re: Advice regarding relevant educational background for 3d environment artists?
@ Eric: Thanks for the link. I've been looking at the wiki here and I didn't realize that there was a 2d tutorial! I enjoy self-training but I simply perform better in a more formal and structured environment. Hopefully I can self-train while being enrolled in a program that has no filler for me... @ ZacD: I'm based in… -
Re: District 9
The movie was really damn good, like ZacD says, the two halves feel very different. Brilliant effects, the aliens were done really well. A top notch sci fi action movie, felt very well paced, great cast, some damn entertaining action, someone mentioned earlier that the trailer reminded them of Half Life 2...couldn't agree… -
Re: Skyrim - Cengine, Rage engine , Cryengine , Udk etc
I just need to mention that CD Projekt is a publisher, not a developer. CD Projekt Red, a subsidiary of CD Projekt, is actually much smaller than Bethesda; according to their linkedin profile they employ only 50~ people. To Bethesda's credit I'm assuming that their game is hell of a lot bigger than TW2 . Even if The… -
Re: Makeshift Revolver
@Kroma! Thanks a lot for your comment. I tried my best to differentiate the various tones of grey, but i guess i didn't push it enough... I'll definetly save what you said and implement it in the future! Thanks a lot! @Daf57 Thanks man, the tape is the selling point of the gun... I'm really glad you liked it! :) @ZacD I… -
Re: To Map or Not To Map - Modeling Mapping Question
I'd really appreciate the tutorial TorQue because it seems that whenever I start texturing I am asking a lot of questions and I haven't been able to fully grasp the proper uses of each map other than the basic Normal, Diffuse, Secular and Transparent maps. I've never testing overlaying maps in Photoshop until today which… -
Re: [Environment work] Of Orcs and Men
Hi I agree with Alex, these need a lot of work. I have no problems with criticism :) , that's why i'm showing this. Deadlines are not an excuse for anything, and i didn't mention it in my first post, but yes, it was short. I said it was a small team because it allows me to work on every aspect of each environment. ZACD :… -
Re: Webley Revolver
chaosquack: Thanks for the link to that other thread, I have looots of reading to do. ZacD: THANK YOU for that link! n88tr: Ha, that is exactly what I did! I just added a billion bevels and edge loops to the low poly until it smoothed out while retaining the hard edges. Is this bad? I know there is a thing called "sub-d"…
