3 questions: 1. Can the pedestal texture sets be broken down similar to the beast itself? For example, could 7 texture sets, of 3 x 1024 and 4 x 512 be used instead of one 2048? 2. For the submission renders, does the beast have to be in the same pose for each one or can that change depending on the shot? 3. How…
Yes as long as the pedestal doesn't draw the attention away from the character, I guess some elements could be higher than the beast itself, if it is climbing something for example.
Also, do all base textures have to be 100% original? Or can we use existing substances/smart materials for example from the Substance Painter, Substance Live or Substance SHARE in our process to create the final texture set?
bejibo you can have 4 separate 4k materials so yes, you could have the body one one 4k and the cloth on another for example. theForp A lot of contestants are working on characters based on existing concepts, so I'd say yes.
Can we make hair or fur for the character? For example, to make a werewolf and to make it alived, we have to use hair and fur tools in maya or zbrush etc. At the last stages, we need to use renderer like Vray to render the hair or fur out. So, can that be allowed?
Hi, The geometry and texture limitations for the pedestal are quite tight compared to the ones for the beast. Is it possible to use unnecesary budgets from the character for the pedestal? For example: The beast - 3x 4k maps and 80 000 polys. The pedestal - 1x 2k, 1x 4k maps and 25 000 polys. This would help to integrate…
overcastcloudy Efficient UVs in this case means well laid out. Denuvyer I can be mechanical, organic, or a mix of both. fantasymaster Tough question, I'd say we want to keep the emphasis on the character instead of the pedestal, so the 5k limit still stand, but maybe some parts can be considered part of the beast, if it's…
Hi! I have a question regarding the pedestals. I saw they cannot be wider than 2x the beast itself, but how about height? Like can I for example (as part of the pedestal) have a brazier or a pillar, next to my guy if they are taller than himself? I don't know if I would go there, but I'd like to know if I can't :) cheers,…
