Re: Need help understanding topology.
@Apstract Hi! I recommend giving the wiki and stickied threads a look to get an overview. Did you check out the links in FrankyPolygon's reply? Using the forums search function, you should find plenty of threads on the topic of "starting out" too. Given that you posted in a thread with props examples and write of objects,… -

Re: HI. Im fairly new to 3d and this is my first serious project that i actually finished
Well done on the prop! In the future try to avoid N-Gons, it's good practice to make your mesh have only triangles and quads, especially for games. Secondly, your textures are fine but they seem too proceedural. Try to break up the edge damage (like multiply a grunge over it). You don't usually get mud on a camera like in… -
Re: Tiling Textures?
on almost every environment I have worked on it was 80-90% tiling textures and tiling trim sheets. it give you a cohesive feel to everything in the level using a set of textures, and for things like damage or whatever, have tiling damage textures that you can vertex blend in with the addition of a mask to break it up. not… -
Re: Star Citizen Security Turret
Honestly I liked the metal better without the white noise in the height. It makes the surface a bit busy without really adding much visible/clear detail imo. I'd reserve the height channel for things like dents, bolts, panel lines etc. and put other details into the rough + albedo. Also I'm not sure how far into the… -
Re: How Could I Keep Texture Scale But Still Be Able To Add Edge Wear
So you write off adding more verts to get better vertex painting, but seem down with having a whole other UV set, which will at the least double your vertex count and worse increase your shader complexity since you likely have to calculate tangents on the extra UV channel to get normal maps to work properly. Are you doing… -
Re: Unreal Tournament 3
I get about 45+ constant FPS at 1280x1024, max everything. Post processing at default, 3D OpenAL audio. Regular P4 3.2ghz, 8800 gts, Physx Card. I gotta say, I'm not disappointed at all. Looks fantastic. Only gripe is that it feels like your character is too heavy, not quite as agile as 2k4. There are jump boots that… -
Re: Portfolio Prop review. Feeling de-motivated recently.
I also have no time for detailed feedback - I'll back up what Joopson says all the way though. For me... The work is high enough visual quality for non-hero assets - the problem really is that you're using hero asset specs and you're making hero assets. if you're going to do that you need to push the storytelling harder -… -
Re: Doubts about what to do with a texture/UV map that still has a lot of room left
just use a rectangular map I'd urge against scaling bits down to a single pixel since the people buying your asset might want to modify the textures or add things like damage/patterns I'd also recommend just keeping everything very simple - anything clever you do can work against the person who buys it when they need to do… -
Re: Ruined Lands
@DEVgenesis Thank you so much, I felt the same way once I saw Robby Johnson's original concept! You should check out some more of his concept work it is amazing! @Jean_Pierre_Varg Thank you, I had thought about doing a Tileable or Trim for the Large Ruined Pillars, but in the end I thought it would be better atleast to…
