Welcome everyone to the 101st Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge for the months of March and April! This challenge is a way for real-time 3D artists to test their skills and create a piece of work based on concepts provided. It's open to those of all skill levels and we do our best to provide meaningful feedback along…
Hey there everyone! First time on this forum. (Examples of the work we expect can be seen at the end of the post) My name is Benny. I own a company called Arcane Minis. We specialize in 3D printable STL files for home 3D printers. Our hobby space is growing and we are looking at adding more sculptors to finish our rewards…
That sort of research/thinking is key to getting a believable look. if this is an 'in service' weapon for an actual military I don't think it would be allowed to get into this state - you'd revarnish or replace parts before it happened and I'm positive you wouldn't let anything get rusty (rusty bits stop gun shooting). If…
KitBash3D is always looking for skilled 3D modelers with a passion for building worlds and contributing to the art community. While we are not actively hiring for this role, we collect applications on an ongoing basis. If you're interested in working with us in the future, you can submit an application here to be added to…
The usual specular model makes surfaces tend to perfect reflection at shallow view angles - mainly because that is actually what happens in real life, you just don't see it much because its hard to put your head close enough to the ground to see it (also atmospherics etc). The only non-bullshit option is to apply specular…
Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a puzzle game project in Unreal Engine 5, but I’ve hit a wall regarding the overall look of my environments. I have three main areas I'm working on: * The Lobby * Egg Puzzle Room * Water Puzzle Room * 4. Puzzle Technically the gameplay works, but visually the scenes feel "flat" and…
I’m excited to share my latest environment art project: a post-apocalyptic classroom workshop, created in Unreal Engine 5. Watch the Video: https://youtu.be/Uy470_QVEfc Breakdown: https://youtu.be/0OPbNM3nmbw Modeling was done in blender and texturing was done in Painter. I also used Quixel Mixer to blend materials.…
I've further refined the forms and added the hard surface parts modelled in maya. I think It's time to move on to the next stage, it would be better to add more details in texturing. I'm not really sure how to make those lines and panel designs on the skin, I'm trying to find the way artists made these on actual game…
Hi all, I have a few questions around building and using modular kits for environment layout. 1. How critical is it for a modular environment to be fully closed off? Meaning, all assets snapping cleanly to the grid with no protruding geometry outside of the layout of the scene? In cinematic work, I’ve often prioritized…
specular reflectance is equivalent to IOR for our purposes so you're using it either way. for a metallic roughness model: - on metallic surfaces it's a function of metalness value and basecolor - on non-metals it's either equivalent to acrylic/paint or defined by a separate texture (dielectric specular level - or just…
