Here’s the finish line. This project has officially reached the end. Overall, I’m very pleased with how it turned out. The past week became very much a polish phase. Every time I thought I was done, I kept going back and asking myself: “Can this be pushed further?” That mindset carried through the entire final stretch.…
Okay, I promise this is the last update. So why starting on my next project I just had to fix this small major error. There was no atmosphere on my Earth so I fixed that. Also, did I make my model renders to sharp? I'm just curious.
I am an experienced Unreal Engine developer and am looking for a art partner to collab on a game kit with working assets. You would make the models and PBRs and I program mechanics for them so they work and can be used game-ready. Also I would add further effects and adjustable parameters if required. Examples for such…
Hey Linkitch! For now, at least, NDO is the primary normal map development tool. You'll want to make almost all of your details in it before you move on to DDO. In DDO, you can add a bump map channel to your project (in the top right of the primary DDO window, click the dropdown menu, Add New Map > Bump) and the bump map…
Great work Azlios! Looks really cool! A bit late but here is where I got with the stylized environment. I got everything textured and spent a lot of time messing with the lighting in Unity. I still need to figure out a shader for the wet floor and add in the dirt and foliage. I think that will help break up the harsh…
Original photo I took of the ground on my trip to Brazil is included there too. Hopefully that clears things up from where I started from. This began as AI testing but turned back into a traditional photogrammetry scan edit after I did not like the results from AI or using it in general
@zylan Determining if a high poly mesh is acceptable really boils down to how closely the shapes in the model match the shapes in the references and whether or not the topology subdivides cleanly, without generating any noticeable smoothing artifacts or other surface quality issues. If the shapes and surface quality checks…
well, I can think of two big things to comment on; 1. does the katana have distal taper? Many 3D artists model swords as if they were cut from a flat sheet of metal; you want distal taper. 2. Is the cross-section of the katana grip oval or perfectly round? You want an oval cross-section for edge alignment. other than that…
My dad had a evil black humour and he always made sure there was food on the table. His grey beard was the perfect way to fool me that santa had eaten the cookie and drank the whisky my dad assured me santa drank. He taught me how the world is and he taught me this early on and I realized that parents are not invulnerable…
. Agree, I've never scanned anything but it seems like a fun learning project. Here are my 1st thoughts about what to do with the complications of this particular object, it doesn't look too "expensive", so I'd say get another one and "shave it till you get to a decent amount of fuzz" of if its possible zero fuzz. Then…
