Re: Unpopular opinions -- get it out of your chest
Being a games artist is a job and a career, not a lifestyle. Material possessions can make you happy. I feel happy holding my nice bag, my nice keyboard. Now this is a wierd one: you should be able to stand on a sink, a towel rack. hang from a door. Sit on the corners of desks, lean on fences - fucking everything that… -
Which program should I start with? ( 3dsmax, Blender, Maya )
Hello, I want to start game asset modelling like charachters, cars, etc. But i dont know how or where should i start. Actually i can create realistic architecturel interior or exterior scenes in 3dsmax. I can model buildings, interior furnitures except organic models like sofas and beds. I know lighting and texturing. So… -
How do you model when a reference image is only in perspective?
For example a client sends you an image of a sofa or a chair you need to model precisely. And it's in perspective. You ask him/her for more detailed images, perhaps even blueprints and he says that it's the only image available. So you have to deal with it. And when you start (especially if you are a noob like me) you see… -
GDC- 2015, Need a housemate for a week?
Hey guys. I'm sure there are many people hitting GDC next year, i'll be flying over from across the pond for it as well. But i was wondering if anybody would mind having a house/room guest for the week? I don't mind chipping in on the weeks rent, and i pay for my own food and stuff. My only stipulation is that the sofa/bed… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 M-13 Raptor - Critique Requested
So just as soon as I dare to post "the dog" I believe I figured a work around. I made the entire original mesh smooth edges in Maya just to try it and it looks like it worked. I suppose it will never look as good as it does in Maya (which I suppose proves why you need to show it here in UDK). Its as if a combination of… -
Re: [UE4] Classic Mansion
The lighting pass looks really nice, just a tad too much bloom, maybe try going for a more rustic lighting pass, give the lights maybe a bit more orange tones, sort of like this I am not sure if this is what you are going for, but it might also give your wood textures look a bit more brown, rather than washed out. I really… -
Re: Question: Topology of a Boat
Ah yes, guess thats another point for me to learn too, I was advised in a facebook group on keeping everything as a single mesh unless the component is meant to be broken off as it would create seams in texturing. Its good to know though i'll just create edge loops from those places that require it from now on. Would the… -
Does anyone use Sampler AI or any other image to height AI?
Each update I waste some time to see if Substance Sampler AI does anything useful finally and always just shrug and go away. Image to material usually does something just marginally better than old crazy bump . Ads halos around height details and looks same awful at sharp light angles. Surprisingly it sometimes works… -
Re: Hunt for botched paramilitary raids in your town!

Re: Photorealistic Animation
Cheers for the feedback guys - very much appreciated. I agree with the comments; don't think the sofa fabric quite works. It was modeled by hand (with an additional normal map) - really need to learn ZBrush! It was just me working on it - took around 3 months, mainly using downtime between projects (plus there was the…
