Re: Old Dog Needs New Tricks - Game Asset Advice please?
Many, many thanks to Kanni3d for that fantastic reply above. Working in isolation is a nightmare when you need solid info to learn from, and the above has been really useful in confirming what I thought I knew and informing me in areas I was ignorant. With this new guidance, I've gone back to the Cryo-Crate mesh that was… -
Re: Marvelous Designer Exports At Huge Scale In Maya!
Hi Danny, thanks for your help. Are you referring to on export from MD or on import into Maya? I'm using Maya 2018 and I'm checking the documentation and I find there's an option to set 'Units' to 'Automatic' but I can't find the 'Advanced Options' menu (seems to be a 2016 feature? I could also try exporting as .FBX from… -
Re: Sketchbook: Valtyr
30 days of Art - Day 04 Hey yall, So I fumbled day 03 but that's ok. I had settled on doing some figure drawing. But when I sat down to do it. I was having a high amount of resistance to starting.

Re: WIP- Dungeon/Ransacked castle environment
I like what your trying to achieve in this scene. There is alot of potential here. But I think your execution is somewhat... sloppy. I like the shapes over all, but in my option, the textures/UVs and modeling is wasteful. In an enclosed scene like this, i would put more effort into the in-game modeling and less into the… -
Re: Draw Calls and batching
Most thing said are correct, the main point is always: it depends on the engine and the platform. So any fancy tricks could be applied or not. Don't assume anything, if it's important to you just talk with the guy responsible for it. Batching is motivated by two reasons: - GPUs love big work loads, thousands of threads… -
Re: Advice for 3d environmental artist?
I personally enjoy substance painter as you're working with all of the different texture maps and seeing the output at the same time. IE when I'm doing it just through photoshop, I have to manually create the color map, then duplicate it and find the spots where the roughness changes and make that, etc. Painter allows you… -
Re: 2d/3d art thread (RJBonner)
A little bit of experimentation isn't a bad thing. It'll help you a little later down the line when you need to take a project from the middle phases of development, all the way to the final product. If you want 2 handy pieces of advice for using zbrush: 1: Take a lot of time to nail down the form development of each… -
Re: Seeking artschool recommendations (Long read)
I used gnomons school cost estimator, but I am sure it will be more expensive. The tuition for vanarts was also just what was on the page for international, and likely will be more too >.< Housing is something that I know will basically double or more the cost of some schools, so right now I am just trying to establish a… -
Re: Ork Trukk for UT3 (image heavy?)
It is in the advanced settings in the transfer maps tools in Maya. I don't know if Max has a similar setting. If you're using Maya, it makes a huge difference in the bake, and it's something I stumbled on by accident. Regarding bolts, what I mean is that if you take a piece into zbrush or mudbox, you don't need to import…
