Re: Help - Mesh is causing flipped normals across axes in substance (non overlapping UVs), nothing works
Hello ! Well, Substance Painter will never be the actual target environment for the model to be displayed in - an actual game engine will be. Hence I personally see no point in giving *any* attention to the way things shade in Substance Painter (outside of making sure that the generators behave as intended). In other… -
Re: How I reduced eye fatigue
Usually any affordable screen calibration device when you try to calibrate for sRGB suggests you to make your screen 100-120 lm2 . Usually like 3 times less nuke than your screen can . With higher target values you need somewhat expensive pro level calibrator and quickly dying sensors while affordable one just can't work… -

Re: Environment Modeling Questions
I think the choice depends on your preference and your role in a team. If you're a 3D artist and a level designer, then blocking an environment within a game engine is quicker for iteration since you need to test things like collision and line of sight. After that, you export your map to a 3D program for refinement. If… -
Re: Which project would help my career the most?
Thank you all for the replies. I have been thinking upon the advice and shall be committing to the personal project :) Earthquake You make some very good points. Yes considering that I can specifically target areas in my personal project; this is reason alone to choose it. I know the kind of art I want to create (it is… -
Re: How long will it take to make a low poly model of this building?
This is really not a hard building/complex to model, especially since your target is a racing game. Because of that, you can skip the finer poly details and focus more on surface topology, which is actually pretty basic. The texture work will be similarly basic here too. 1. Gather your resources. The more the better. 2.… -
Re: Specular Maps obselete?
Ah, I see. I never though of that before. Thank you . :smiley: You can fairly easily "write you own" shader in Unity, which is what I usually end up doing, to remove smoothness from the alpha of a metallic map. Create a new shader with by Assets -> Create-> Shader -> Standard Surface Shader and add in the two new textures… -
Re: The problem with the gaming industry is that developers make too much
Yeeeesh, talk about burning bridges. He attempts to defend himself by stating that he is only intending to target game executives, but he still insists on justifying his attack on "average" salaries. He also seems quite content to continue lumping developers and publishers together. There wouldn't be nearly as many… -
Re: Transformers 3 : Dark of the moon
Actually, it is that simple, and you just pointed out why. Out of all the potential stories they could have told, that they had available to them, they picked that one. Of all the directors they could have chosen, they went with Bay. It is true that this resulted in financial success, but it did not result in critical… -
Re: Need Critiques / Portfolio Advice
Hi Amnson, I like what you have there. :) To the crits, assuming I open your website and see these 5 pics: - The first two models could maybe benefit from some polishing, texture-wise. Take the grenade for example, I like it, but it could be taken a level further with the textures. Maybe add some finer details, maybe…
