Re: Monthly Noob Challenge Concept Thread 8
Nope, i believe that our job as environment artists is to do an environment. You do a house for a project, the level designer knows what is going on around that house and the level artist does his will and takes your house and places there everything is needed to have a complete scene. Anyway, you just can't take away the… -
Re: Connor's End of 2016 Portfolio (C&C very appreciated!)
I'd say your skill level is pretty good overall. Nice work. The first piece with the fisherman, the dark tower in the rear pulls my attention, but then doesn't reward it. The rendering in this piece is fantastic, except for that one part. Seems like it would be fogged more, and the tower could use an additional… -
Re: Need advice on UV for vehicle - UDK
Well hopefully you're done unwrapping it by now, but... I'd start by deleting every element but 1 that's identical (tires, hatch, back compartment, mirrors, lights, ...) Then I'd unwrap. If you don't technically know how to do this I suggest a video tutorial search. It would take far to long to type out. Then I copy the… -
Re: WIP - Pat Goodwin - Environment
Also had some time to finish up this Corinthian top I started last week. A few of the modular building/store fronts I have planned contain classical order elements of various materials (some wood, some steel, some stone). Keeping the fine details while getting this down to a reasonable tri count (7k) was quite a fun… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge November 2013 (13)
@ Dave Jr Same problem here. I know what you mean. For my large arch: The absolute height of the element itself is the same as the small arches. Yet I pulled the arch-bend higher than from the small ones, so it is up to 60% of the elements height. The arch is still very flat... Looks fine in the whiteboxing. But I'm not… -
Re: 3ds max selection brackets
That happens when you rotate the object in object mode and then select everything in sub-object mode (vert, edge, poly, element) and rotate it another way. For example if you create a box, apply edit poly and in element mode rotate the box 45 degrees, then exit sub-object mode and rotate the whole object -45 degrees the… -
Re: MIM-23 HAWK missiles on an M192 towed launcher
@Bek good point. Thanks. Im planning on exposing some other params, but that'll once all the textures are finalized. WIP camo pattern: Also, there is some noticeable mirroring on the top front pieces that I'm planning on fixing by just mirroring the elements in Max and then rexporting. Edit: Update on the woodland camo.… -
Re: Polycount has been updated!
I really don't want to be all negative but from a practical standpoint the forum has become a mess. The problem with this type of design, it prioritizes stylishness over anything else. It's good to remember that minimalism is not always something that improves readability and clarity. For example. What is the rational… -
Re: Highlands Environment [UE4]
All the reference I looked at quick for highlands, and I would say you are pretty far from a believable level of realism atm. I'd consider maybe doing: - variation in scale/grass heights/colour - areas of sparseness, exposing some underlying ground, blending or tapering around rocks just to break up the repeated grass -… -
Re: Galaxy for Hire Art Dump
Character design isn't horrible. It's not particularly great, either, but 'horrible' is far too harsh a word. The biggest issue is that the characters seem a bit kit-bashed. There's no coherency in them, visually. The last 2-and-a-half robots (smaller ones are just headswaps) are a bit better in that regard. The buildings…
