Total newbie with dumb questions
I hope this isn't a faux-pas to make a thread here with such elementary questions, I'm new to polycount and frankly I don't even understand what most of the thread titles in this subforum mean. I'm trying to teach myself low poly 3D modeling for fun and have been learning 3Ds Max for a few days via youtube. My main… -
Re: Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
Hello ! No problem. Models from high profile games from this era (PS3/360) are IMHO excellent examples of what can be done with a reasonnable budget. Not only in terms of raw numbers (tris # and texture sizes) but also because they're good reality checks on what matters and where to cleverly cut corners, in turn giving you… -
Tablet Pc or Cintiq? Discuss
Hey all This has been running in my head for a couple of weeks now. What do you think is best, a good tablet PC or a Cintiq made of sex? I've been wishing for a Cintiq for years and now consider saving up money to maybe buy one ; I never tried it yet but am in the hope of doing so in the next future. I love everything… -
Re: Sketchbook: Zaki Saati
+ Created a map for glass and metal reflections. Since the building is facing total black void, the glass was not reflecting anything previously. The metal was a bit too dark as well. This map in front of the building doesn't need to be visible in the render, only in the reflections (leaving it on for demonstration… -
Re: Workflow question: generating height/normal before Substance
Doesn't looks that way. I had a hope anything convenient would appear soon two decades ago and here we are. In all honesty the content creation software doesn't look like evolving much in general. it evolved and frozen already with a few cosmetic changes each years and rarely something new. It's stack in old approaches ,… -

Re: 3D Generalist Portfolio Critique
Hello and welcome :) Your front page doesn't feel like a portfolio but the pitch for why someone should hire your company to do something. But you're not a company... You have a lot of text explaining what the different 3D disciplines are. This is a total waste of space - anyone looking at your portfolio is from one of… -
What are best AIs for game art? Both for scripting and content creating?
I wasted lots and lots of time this year trying to find anything useful for content creation. Models/textures/ decals/ just nice alpha for brushes . Contrary to all that internet buzz and doom scenarios I found really nothing . All AI can generate is maybe some phone games fancy art : 2d pictures for a fantasy style "find… -
Re: would a cheap prime lens improve photogrammetry on 24mp cam?
Yes I googled sharpest lenses . Those would be Sigma ones for sony e-mount and they are not that much expensive too. I just wonder if they do any difference vs this TTArtisan 23 mm or even kit lens when set at f/8 or f/5.6 I don't like too soft mesh details I get from a6000 with those apertures and it's definitely not a… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | January - February (100)
Managed to get the general base down for the environment and I wanna tackle the remaining parts in ZBrush. It's come out to around 40k polys with even edgeflow and support loops on most assets which could be dropped significantly if required. Considering however that higher detail will be baked and that modern specs allow…
