How to plan cliff packs for game environments? Any good references or breakdowns for other games?
As an environment artist in games this is something that always stumps me: how to plan and structure an asset pack of modular cliffs for big environments (specifically environments with a lot of rocky, big/steep cliffs and cave areas). This far it's nothing I've really had to do or something I've had the opportunity to see… -
Re: Cintiq, 27QHD, or 22HD
Availability in the States is what is killing me (the touch model at least). They seem to be releasing them in spurts. I wonder if they have been having bugs or QA issues. After having used a Cintiq at my last studio, I am sold. Photoshop, Zbrush Sketchbook, etc. were a joy to use. I just placed an order for the 27 on BH… -
[wanted] Character/Technical Artist for R&D: human rendering
I was reading about the annual competition called Loebner Prize https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loebner_Prize tldr: humans chat with either a human or a bot and have to judge whether the other side was a human. Goal: As I am a graphics researcher, I've immediately fallen for the idea to do the same for human rendering.… -
Mesh edge blend sharing the same material?
Hi! I'm trying to find a way to blend meshes that share the same material. I found this method, but I'm trying to avoid it because it seems like too much extra work https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/011/332/037/original/raul-aparicio-skirtsample-anim.gif?1529020963 Is there a way to do it like this?… -
Re: Morrigan WIP
I made a Morrigan a while back for the Comicon contest a couple years ago. ^_^ I'm not sure if it will help you in any way, but here it is: http://www.comiconchallenge.com/2009/images/wallPapers/Morrigan_1024_768.jpg You have a solid understanding of anatomical details (such as how muscles should look), but not really… -
Re: Too much of an artist - Not enough employee?
Right now most progress come from rendering tech tbh. The most beautiful games come from good Art Direction and the wholeness of scenes not individual props. If you're the sort of artist that is incredibly fast, efficient AND have time to make the best art you can possibly make then yeah, you're a very rare talent. In most… -

Re: Help with timeframe estimation of a project?
You need to ask a couple of questions to gauge the scope: - is it an first person shooter where you get up close to everything or you will only see it from afar / the air? Depending on the answer you can determine if you'll go with high poly baking or more low poly geometry, set up texture density and triangle budgets,… -
Re: [3Ds Max] Switching between Front, Top, Left View
3ds Max viewport switching has the habit of not remembering the previous zoom levels, positions etc... Especially if you switch between more than 4 basic view types ( eg. Top/Right/Left/Bottom/Front/Perspective/Ortho etc, ) This changed a bit to the better in the latest release i think, but it's still suboptimal I wrote an… -
Re: Contracted Job Survival Guide
Craigslist and googlemaps should give you advance info in most cases (unless the location is somewhere outside a major city). Like figure out transportation options (will you need a car, can you bus it, can you bike it, walk home in the dark, etc.), distance from malls, etc. Streetview the site too if you can to find out…
