Re: Should I practice with triangles if I want to work in games industry?
Modeling is one chapter. Quite a few polygon modeling tools in nearly all 3d modeling software requires quad topology to work. Edgeloop selection for example does not work well with tris or n-gons. So that's the thing that you need to learn first. Modeling with a useful topology. And there are plenty ways to achieve this.… -
Re: Older work and its impact on the hiring process.
... I must say you have an uncanny ability to take an example used to illustrate a concept (like here the example of modeling and UV skills) and misinterpret it as some kind of absolute statement :D *Of course* there are pipelines that don't involve manual retopo and UVs. My point is, *IF* I am looking for someone to do… -
Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
I feel like that was kind of a confusing explanation, though it does have some good points (and maybe some inaccuracies? some things I couldn't quite make sense of some stuff from the wording). There's a few key bits of physics at play. Absorption, refraction, reflection, transmission are the most important in the context… -

Having Problems With TF2 Hat Lighting
UPDATE: Okay so, I believe I know what the problem is. For some reason, the model for the hat is ungodly far away from the origin point when viewed by itself in the Model Viewer. However, if I try to move the model in Blender (the program I use) it moves away from the correct position on the Engineer's head. Does know of… -

PBR: texturing workflow question.
Hey, So, like most game artists out there at the minute I've been looking into the whole PBR thing and Unreal4. There seem to be 2 different methods I've seen so far and I'm wondering which is the best to use and when. Firstly, I've seen objects with texture sheets laid out pretty much as they have been for donkeys years.… -
[PAID] Need Concept Artist to complete landscape/grass texture on existing environment concept
I currently have a 95% finished environment concept which can be seen here: http://imgur.com/3ZQqyW8 (I'll provide a MUCH higher res PSD). It's of a map in our game development project. The original artist and I are having trouble getting the grass right so we thought hiring multiple people to try it would be a good idea.… -
Re: [3DS MAX] Someone explain to me how textures work
Hi! Does the combined object not have 3 materials assigned to it? Not a Max User, but I think you'd want to feed the textures into the materials used by the object through the material editor. Perhaps going through the Max documentation you figure this out (Texture, Example of using Maps).
