Hey folks, I’m doing some R&D around Substance workflows and automated texture map generation,mostly as a side experiment. In some cases (quick scans, old assets, noisy photos) I found myself missing a fastway to extract usable height/normal information before bringing things intoSubstance Designer/Painter. So I built a…
Hey, thank you Muzzoid! That sounds like a great idea, it's what I internally settled on as well. My only worry would be the bottom view of the hair with this set up, it might still be awkward... I'll have to figure it out when I get there (༎༎゜▽゜) Today, some more blocking out, and some more refining. Did a quick placement…
Hi! I would try to get away modeling them and apply tiling textures. Surface variation can then be added through texture blending. Geometric detail through meshes layered on top. You will probably need to figure out how to blend meshes together, so it all looks like one solid piece in the end. You could use some mesh…
@rtos Yes you use the subsurf modifier in blender to preview your high poly. The method you describe of removing geo from the high poly is called manual retopology. You don't do that in most cases. The most efficient and least time wasting method is first model what we call a blockout or mid poly base mesh. You don't model…
Project: Prospera - a Renaissance-era island logistics city builder (think non combat Anno in pre-industrial Mediterranean) Developer: Velarion Games (solo indie) Engine: Unity URP Type: Freelance / Contract Timeline: ~4–6 weeks after a paid test task (flexible, quality first) Budget: $3,000–$6,000 USD for the full scene,…
I am opening this topic to upload any progress of my work for the assignment of Advanced Vehicle And Weapon Prototyping. The module wants me to create a giant mech based on some references and images that I am free to chose. I am currently working on the blockout and colour design and I want to share with you my path in…
@AtomicArmy Something I would advise at this stage is not to go in with all the details. Like I see the house half fininshed, not all foliage is there, etc... Do a pretty detailed blockout of the WHOLE THING that is simple and clean. Not much noise, no vertex painting, etc... You can add all that later. First you need to…
Blcokout is coming along, I have started to detail out more stuff but that's not what this post is about. It was really really bugging me just how ugly a blockout can I needed to texture something to get it out of my system and focus back on modeling, so here is a wip lantern. Huge props to JordanW for when he released his…
Thanks everybody for the kind words! @slipsius: There is no right way or order to play Horu, do as you wish. Every Room is a trial in itself. @makkon The blockout you see in the image is in editor. The blockout is done via a modified plane tool with which you can easily block out shapes and roomstructures. So its basically…
For this assignment we have to create a building using modular assets that snap together. Earlier this year I made a game concept titled Spicy Jam so will be recreating one of the environments (the Subway/underground) for this project. I didn't get to make concept art so got advice to pick an existing train station to base…
