Re: How long do your 3D projects take to complete?
1 - 6 months, sometimes more if i am like, .. "well i do not know this thing right now" & either have to figure it out myself or use someone else's solution for it, which i usually do not do. A calculated time-frame I've never really done, i heard about all them timers but how 100% accurate are they really and you have to… -
Re: What jobs can I get in non-gaming industry space?
Yeah I wish it was still the same today with the gaming industry. It’s sounds like you had a blast. I still make games at home and I guess I’m still hoping it will get better some day. I’m working on that portfolio site. Thanks for sharing the link! Could I get a job like doing prop art with a decent portfolio? Is the… -
Re: Are retoplogy tools like Blender's retopoflow 4 worth it for non characters
If you kitbash to make your rocks (interpenetrating various models together make a bigger piece) then retopo can help unify the surface, removing all the unused internal triangles. These retopo tools usually focus on trying to create nice edge flow, which helps improve subdivision surfaces, makes uvs easier to edit, and… -
Re: Most Efficient Way to Render Ready Game Models
It's mobile games models that are very low poly. Pc and console models are not that low poly any more. I had been tasked to evaluate candidates portfolios in the past and it's a hell of an annoying burden usually . They often look perfectly same , tell you nothing about a person as an artist when it's just generic hi res… -
Re: Best workflow for cleaning up a mesh that has been exported from Rhino into Zbrush
"The model is to represent sand dunes and will be cnc'd to a 1:25 scale" If you haven't done so already, the first step isn't to worry about how to convert things to OBJ, but rather to get in touch with the CNC operator who's going to take care of your job. The CAM (that is to say : the machining prep) could be done in… -
Maya XGen: What's the best way to smooth guide tips to make hair less bumpy?
I have here a flat top hair style with all the modifiers turned off so it's just the base xgen. I'm attempting to smooth the top part but each guide adds a little hill. At first I had spare hair guides, which is usually the best way to go, but this only made the bumps bigger. Each guide I placed just made the hills… -
Re: Why outrourcing studio doesnt give creditis to artists?
a multitude of reasons are possible here - strict clauses in contracts on client side forbidding it- cooperations on even higher up level than client side forbidding it- marketing might want a word in each and every bit of official info out there, complicating it all- outsourcers not negotiating in favor of "their" artists… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
@Alemja - I think it really comes down to the project and pipeline. When dealing with 100's of characters it helps to have all the information we can input into the system, and certainly the approach is to get close to the visual target but with automation driving input, good to have those values especially for clothing… -
Re: Texture /photo straightening techniques?
Sorry, with "straightening" I didn't want to sound odd in any way, my apologies, I merely tried to use it in a wider sense as an umbrella term describing not only unwrapping perspective projection into front ortho one but also making the image ready for tile-able texture and have regularly spaced repeating details ,… -
Normal Bake Issue
Hi, I'm getting this weird pattern artifact on the cylinder here, all the other pieces are fine. I've tried redoing the UVs, upscaling the texture resolution, I've re-checked the HP and LP and they look fine. Any ideas what's happening?https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10a8zcuozRHiK_E82KO6FSh3eOQdw9ttf?usp=sharing -…
