Re: Finished - Desert Communication Relay – Environment Scene
I like the variations, but the mid-level shapes are looking all a bit blobby, compared to your refs. I think you could be better served by using lower-poly meshes, with tiled textures and multi-texture blending. I'm reminded of Anthony Vaccaro's work on Uncharted 3, for example. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rZAvJ See… -

Re: Low Polygon Joints - What is the best way?
All of those are extremely low poly examples and I'm not really sure the lessons they teach translate to the games we make today (with the exception of AP's examples at the top). A lot more can be done with helper joints and more advanced weighting then just two bones and on or off weighting. I like Ancient Pigs joint… -
Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?

need vehicle uv map examples
Does anyone know where I can find some examples of good uv mapping for a drivable vehicle like a dune buggy or hummer? I am trying to fit everything on one 1024 texture map but I am having trouble making space for everything on one sheet and maintaining a consistent resolution for all the parts. -
Re: Unreal Engine, looking for feedback, thanks : )
Hey @Araka this is a great start. As Eric pointed out composition would be a great start for you. 1. Have a clear understanding of where your focal point is. And then expect to guide people towards it. 2. A good general rule of thumb is "the rule of thirds" - it means that your focal point should fall on a third of the… -
