Re: To industry vets only:)...Please
Obviously there's a lot of instability in the games industry, but I think there's a fair amount of misinformation, too. By his own admission, the methods and accuracy of this data is a little sketchy, but Twisted Pixel's Dan Teasdale recently looked into layoffs in the game industry, and I was personally quite surprised by… -
Re: New to the Polycount Scene!
Hey this is actually nice stuff you've got here. My main critique would be your very visible seams. Also some of your textures look like they might not be high enough resolution and are looking a bit pixelated, like the rock texture on the pillars and ground on the first screenshot. Another issue you might want to take… -
Re: Pastatore's Workshop ...
The level of detail you are using is inappropriate for the camera distance of Dota 2. You seem t ofocus on delicate shapes when Dota 2 art is all about bold, graphical shapes. This is because in the game a weapon takes up very few pixels and anything small just becomes noise. Some examples to look at: Consider how the… -
Re: Fire Hydrant
what the fuck. it's melting. firstly, your sculpt is very organic and feels like you went overboard with high frequency details and just scraped away at every possible edge. check references for how these objects take damage. overall the scuplt isn't that bad but it definately suffers from "just one more scratch!"… -
Re: Sketchbook: telmac
I didnt even notice that people posted here, they almost never do. @Sectaurus I kinda lose it when i get frustrated and im having trouble moving much further with this stuff. Ive always had trouble with surfaces, things end up looking like plastic. I should spend some time trying to paint glass and metal. @wake I like… -
Re: Anime Process + Shader Techniques
For reference, the Guilty Gear Xrd GDC presentation is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhGjCzxJV3E They mention a few things in there, maybe this helps: - They preferred to use vertex attributes (colours and normals) instead of textures to store information because it was easier to edit (instant feedback) and these… -
Re: Houdini 15 feature list
Don't get me wrong,Houdini is one of the hardest programs that an artist can learn,but from an artist perspective most of the stuff you might want to create is not complicated to make. Talking about stuff like debris following a curve with many parameters to fill them in a scene,procedural models like rocks and… -
Re: texturing fur
I think the point is not how to bake/render/paint fur to a low poly mesh. The question is, what kind of model do you want to make? Do you have a specific target in mind? If, like your post suggest, you just want to make a lowpoly model (simple polygon surfaces) that looks furry, then consider looking at some great examples… -
Re: 3Ds Max/ Zbrush: Industry vs personal workflow
For anything organic I just start in Zbrush and rough out a form with dynamesh or whatever works. It's a good idea to GoZ it at some point into a modelling program to get the scale set. I export a decimated version to build a low-poly from using 3dcoat (or any modeling application). For anything hard-surface, modular etc,… -
Re: UDK Fire
ya here is a example of the normal map i made for this. made it by simply paiting black on a white BG with a really rough brush, than running it threw NDO, to create the normals, using the nvidia filter or crazy bump would have the same effect. than here is the material very basic just a translucent material with opacity…
