So this may be a huge wall of text, but bear with me (and yes, some of what I suggest may have already been pointed out to death here in this thread, but I think that just means a consensus has been reached as far as the critiques go). Maybe I will try to add some humor in here every so often, just to spice things up (I…
Check out the work from CGMA student, Pedro C. Prieto, who was just recently published on 80.LV. He shows us how he worked on this amazing UE4-environment inspired by Helder Pinto‘s Arbor Vitae in Clinton Crumpler's UE4 Modular Environments course. Intro Hello, my name is Pedro C. Prieto and I am an extremely passionate…
i think your art is really great as it is but with just a bit more polish on a few projects it would be indistinguishable from the best AAA art right now. here are my opinions in no particular order: DRAGON the dragons surface details feels a bit muddy, like it has no sharp details. The rendering is majorly holding it…

You're correct. Settings from the render panel are used when baking. Sample quality values will be the same but that doesn't necessarily guarantee identical results. I'm not a developer so I don't know what's going on under the hood or if there's any limitations on how baking is handled. What I do know is that there's a…
Re: tools most tools are by default click to activate. You can change tools to auto-activate though, so simply selecting the tool will make it active. This can be done from the tool pipeline, which by default layout is on the right hand side under the "lists" tab. That's also a good way to check what tools / constraints…
Alright, let's try this again. I got pretty much done typing up a lengthy response and my computer bluescreened.... @Polygoblin I went back and edited some areas to utilize as much UV space as possible. I know there are some areas that can be mirrored. In fact, I originally mirrored those areas, but they apparently got…
My colleague Ben Garnell, who also worked on some borderlands 2 stuff said that was all just flat faces where different parts met, didn't sound too complicated (but that's just hearsay). I think if you want to mix a lot of crazy, very different guns, it's the only way. it just gets too hard to combine otherwise. We did…
Hardsurface; Your environments are more interesting than your singular props. Your hard surface models need more texturing work. To give you some idea of what I'm seeing; - The batmobile has splatters of mud but it kind of ruins the model. - The gun doesn't have any variation to the textures, so the texture is quite…
The Pet Store Introduction Hi, here I am creating my project titled The Pet Store, which is game based off of motor skills, and providing a kooky environmental twist. This game has been well plotted out, and filled with rhythm of my debt to this industry. Goals * Faster modeling * Rendering properly * Impressive…
