Re: Level editors
oh I cam close to similar speeds because I cached stuff and rendered nGons instead of only triangles on orthographic projections (because there is no distortion thus you don't need to subdivide to avoid the affine mapping). But yeah FP 10 changed things its more comfortable to use just the drawGraphicsData combined with… -
Re: ZBrush Nanomesh UVs?
I am a bit lost. if you want all chains having the same UV /texture you shouldn't do anything and uncheck "use base mesh UV" If you want each chain having its own unique UV you basically need to turn nanomesh object into regular one, export somewhere and then auto pack all UVs into 0-1 space . In Blender for example. Could… -
Re: Staying Positive?
Seems to me that this is the cause of your problem, not the fact that you can't find a job. As much as it sucks, you have to simply accept that you either assumed or were given false promises by faculty staff that your dream career would simply 'happen' if you attended that college. If you can't move past this and accept… -
Re: NDo2 vs. Baking
Yeah, there are certain things you'll never get from a painted bump converted to normal map/ndo/crazybump/knald/etc. Larger forms, beveled edges, etc you really need to model a proper high poly mesh for. A painted normal can also never account for the smoothing of the lowpoly mesh either. When you bake a normal map from… -
Re: Star Citizen...The Starfarer: Interior video focus...ART DUMP to follow
Hey Makkon, thanks for your kind words, glad that you like it! I've finally got around to taking a lot of images to showcase my work and have been uploading the full galleries to my artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artist/trevelyan But I also wanted to share a few images from each gallery here as well (I don't want… -
Re: To buy now, or wait? (Maya)
Hm, well, i've seen some videos of Modo over the last few months, and i really like the look of Meshfusion, and what it can do (the boolean operations seem to be very clean). The main thing thats really stopped me from jumping to modo so far is the part in their FAQs about license transfers, say, if i upgraded my system… -
Re: Extra Skills that will pay the Meals? aka knowing Linux and Python?
It seems in this case the ILM guy became an artist because he was already at ILM and often in-house applications are preferred - especially since they know your personality and work habits. You can see this transition in games where e.g. QA people transfer to other jobs such as game designer. In this case it matters little… -
Re: [Portfolio] JackyBoy, Environment Artist
Hm it's a good site and there's some very nice content but there isn't much either. The warehouse is a good example of environment artist but lighting lets it down and makes it average. The car is really awesome though. Basically my main crits are: Lack of content, need more environments than just single props like the… -
Re: Best tool for uvmapping texturing seams
Here is a long list of apps that can do what you want which is some form of paint / clone stamp projection in 3d navigation mode (painting like in a 3d app). Only you yourself can decide what app is the best for your personal needs and pocket as many of the tools are quite pricey and vary in their way they behave and let… -
Re: Zeth's WIP stuff
Thanks guys :) @thatanimator : Well, it'll be time consuming as the lowpoly will be 150k+ tris. I do a combination of hand+automatic retopology in modo. Smaller, more detailed pieces are exploded from larger pieces, every mesh is cage baked in Xnormal, then the baked maps are transferred to the final, non-exploded mesh.…
