This project has helped me improve my texturing process. I haven’t had all the time in the world or at least not as much as I would have liked, but I hope you like it. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/AZ1KBz
Hello everyone! I’ve been searching for answers to my questions for the past two weeks, but I still haven’t been able to find a solution. I built my PCG setup based on the official Unreal Engine 5.7 documentation and several YouTube tutorials. However, the solutions shown in those tutorials don’t seem to work in my case.…
I have been working on my roof, and I am considering two approaches to achieve results similar to No Rest for the Wicked. Since the game uses a top-down view, their roof tiles are quite flat because they don’t require much depth. However, this wouldn’t work in my environment, as I want it to work well from multiple angles.…
Was there ever a fix for this where the attribute editor stops responding?. You can still use the xgen tools and render, but attributes won't load automatically and the outliner is empty. I was hoping in maya 2026 they would have fixed it and no I am not going to delete my preferences , because that does not solve the…
Hi guys! I was wondering if I could get someone to tell me what I should add / delete from my portfolio!https://www.artstation.com/nikitasineiko I aim to get a proper job in the 3D industry - the goal is 3D Environments, but I believe I should display proof that I can do 3D Props & Tech Art to state I have the skills to do…
On Ornatrix grooms I kept hitting two things: I rebuild the same operator stack on every character, and a fully-built stack tanks the viewport while I'm still iterating. How I've been handling it: * Build the stack in a fixed order (Surface Comb → Rotate → Clump → Curl → Frizz → Detail → Noise → Gravity → Change Width) so…
A bit of a breakthrough on the next iteration for the reference material. If you use the CameraVector node (which I was using some of my dot products), as your normal, you get "free" retroreflectivity. This much better because it actually takes into account all scene lights, rather than relying only on a single directional…
Thanks for the detailed feedback. It’s very helpful. Yes, I did light the leaves separately because with my current lighting setup they were not achieving the same glowing/translucent effect seen in the concept. However, I understand that this is affecting the overall lighting consistency and value hierarchy in the scene.…
Recently I decided to get back into 3D after abandoning it for as much as a decade, and today after only 6 hours of Blender, I was swiftly reminded why I had to drop it in the first place - arm pain, specifically in these two places here: I already know how this is going to play out - my arm will feel weaker and the…
I've fallen behind with this, but not because I wasn't working on it. Mostly I've spent all this time trying to figure out style. At first I was using standard PBR materials for texturing, but it looked... noisy? Muddy? Boring? I would attach screenshots, but with all the running around screaming and switching textures,…
