I remember what my friend said before I took on that digitizing job. "Shifts like this can change someone" and it does. I recall always having to say No, Can't make it tonight, Work is tight" etc to friends and my girlfriend, and I'm sure it dented my relationships to my friends and girlfriend. Value your free time while…
Hi Polycount! intro: I've been a longtime lurker on Polycount, but haven't ever posted my stuff. I'd like to change that, as I've got a topic i'd love to discuss with the broader game artist community: Color ID maps (#colorID maps)- why they're possible in other programs such as substance Painter, but not feasible in UE4…
Well it has been a few years since I posted. Here is some more recent personal work - I'll skip some of the professional projects that I've worked on over the last few years... Anyway, with this project I wanted to do some more hard surface Sub -D modelling and tackle science fiction material. What better than yet another…
Performance wise, having 2 materials on one object is equivalent to have 2 "splitted" objects with 1 material. Usually i only use this for easier maintenance, as editing several objects in a 3d software could be a bit more of work if they're meant to be "welded" Unity can batch together objects with the same material…
In the future (I think it's in version 4.6 that's to be released) I think Epic are planning to reinstate the feature where you can use bloom/emissive to create actual lighting, though do be weary in doing such as in the UDK it could quite quickly become expensive.

Thanks for the awesome feedback! =D I'll take all of that in account. =) I quickly abandonned the world position decals. ^^ For the cracked ground, I simply used pre-placed decals I activated one by one when the fire wave was passing over them. It was kinda cheaty, but hey, video games are all about cheating. :D For the…

hey man, I know you probably have a clear cut vision for your level atm, but it might be good to block out some larger forms, then some medium forms- the maybe do a quick paint over, just so you can get more of a vision for where your headed with this. Right now I sort of get the feeling you might be starting too detailed…
I'll be fair, I'm being picky and Substance is all round good software. I just fancy a bit more power, so I'm testing Mari out. I made this list at work a few weeks ago: - Can't backface project, can only paint where the camera is facing - No radial symmetry - No moving the symmetry plane - No lattice/warp deformation…
[Update] I changed the main source of light to be the computers and the lava lamp *Added fog to make the lights apparent *Added Pizza boxes and Chinese food boxes and chopsticks *Added the 4 Star Dragonball on the desk *Added 2 projectors to make it seems the decal maps are being projected on the wall (any idea on how to…
