Re: Workin on mah folio - 2014
Got laid off yesterday (non game-art job) so now I can concentrate on doing this full-time :) Work in progress of this guy. Will hopefully finish him by tomorrow. The 3 tiny ones are screengrabs from the Maya viewport (flat shading) to check silhouette and whether the colors are reading right. The rest are from Marmoset.… -
Re: Materialize: image to material tool
Wow, I've just tried it, and it is, by far, the best photo to textures software I've used. I've been quite fond of NDO2 and Bitmap2Material, but not all of the diffuse photos worked well. But this app just blew me by it's ease of use and the way it handled couple files, that weren't good material. I'm buying right after… -
Re: free version of Ndo2 license?
No. DDo is for making diffuse (and some other) maps quickly. You can use your baked maps/mesh in it. NDo is for making only normal maps. You can load your baked normalmap into it and you can add more details, or you can make one from scratch. One can totally work without the another. -
Re: Hard surface prop critique. Drill
Take a look at Andrew Maximov's Gun Breakdown https://artisaverb.info/PBT.html The most important details are pushed in the roughness and normal maps. The diffuse often looks very simple in comparison. Also, looking at the model viewer, I'm not sure why the black rubber/plastic grip is so wet. That feels like a safety… -
Re: Character / 3d texturing software of choice?
Sounds pretty powerful for more realistic work... especially brushing across different maps all at once. I'm looking for just painting diffuse maps and baking light gradients (light top, darker bottom). Most important to me: which one is the easiest to pick up and learn and start working in a short amount of time? Good… -
Re: Do you like the Unreal Engine look?
Apart from everyone using nothing but Normal and Diffuse There is definitely a certain look that comes though in the rendering, the way the bloom looks (kinda has a really sharp solid gradient) and the way lights maps come up. But in the end it comes down to Technical artists to tweak the rendering/shaders and Artists to… -
Re: [UE4] Tavern by the road - WIP
Just set the number of bounces to like, 100, ditch a lot of the occlusion stuff for the lightmass settings as it's just make your dark scene a lot darker. Also max the lightmap resolution, as the artifacts your getting seem to be from that. Finally either add an interior light (from the chandalier or something) or cheat a… -
Re: Dragon Breath (Sword)
TEXTURING: Round 1. It took ages to fix some uvs for better texturing. Glad that week is over, but as usual I learnt so much, which is really rewarding. I'm actually really happy with the base colors I'm getting at them moment, but I'll still try experimenting and thinking about more polish and detail. Diffuse/Spec/Emissive -
Re: Break down of game character creation (in terms of time)
It varies based on the complexity of the character. I've worked on a AAA third person action game where an NPC gets two weeks for the high poly, and two weeks for the low poly, UVs, and textures. I'm working on a project now with a very low tri count limit and diffuse-only texture. It probably won't take more than a few… -
Re: major baking problems please help
I use Max to model, and Earthquake is right, you need to use a real time shader to view your work. Even for things like flat diffuse textures, Max's viewport and render will show your colors as darker and grayer than they actually are. I personally use Xoulio's shader while I work, then render final images in Marmoset.
