Have you ever used Quixel DDO? I need your opinion! (nice and short student survey)
Hello! I'm VFX student working on a dissertation (in fact the deadline is this Friday!). I'm researching texturing software and I need some opinions on Quixel DDO - I'm asking here because almost nobody I know has used it! The survey asks about other software as well - I'm mostly interested in Quixel DDO but of course if… -

Re: How do you check the scale of your model in zbrush?
I usually use the tool:preview subpalette to check the overall scale (if it fits nicely within the window, you're good). If you have a lot of subtools, you can scale one down using the size deform and then use the Repeat to Others button. -
Re: UE5 project low poly asssets
What does a texture sheet and UVs look like for these assets? Curious how much UV reuse. And what about the bottom? Are these going to be rigged with physics, and thus tumble-able in-game? The bottom could conceivably use lower texel density, or reuse the same texture as the top, etc. Also, are you baking an ambient… -
Re: How to AAA skill?
Like mentioned, studying/observation and practice is the key to improvement (I'll read "AAA" as "high quality"). Also asking for help if you're stuck, so good on you. I think the rough aesthetic is already there, but many elements look like guesswork or a bit random. One thing that stands out immediately is the wobbly… -
Re: single or multiple objects into one uv map?
It’s good you mentioned this specific example. Objects can be setup to share UV space specifically so they can reuse the same material. This optimizes the rendering speed, by reducing draw calls. However, anything using transparency is usually separated from things without, and uses a dedicated material. This is because… -

Re: do you ever feel like you wont catch up?
You have this idea in your head of what the perfect piece is, you've seen amazing art and you ask "why am I not there yet?"... If that is how you think and feel then, no, you WILL NEVER catch up. Because there will always be a piece that you are envious of, or a critical eye cast to your own work. Think about it. If you… -
Re: Do you use AO maps in yours PBR materials?
I'm on my phone right now but you can find distance field AO on their site. There is also Voxel GI (but that requires a ton of GPU power). I never saw the need for AO maps after that provided you want to build a game with those specs. For games built with Xbox one or mobile phones in mind then it's out of the question.
