Re: "Uncanny" effect more resolution and details we put in a frame .
art direction and attention to detail has been on the decline ever since it's been cool to fire senior developers with decades of accumulated knowledge in order to outsource and save money. Our tools are more advanced than ever before, but tools are still tools, and require the skill to use them effectively. This is… -
Re: [MAYA] why there is no "parent" constraint?
Well, I guess what you're describing, in Maya terms, is usually referred to as "Space Switching", right? So you can change parents with a constraint at different times of animation, and be able to still animate the original object. It is, indeed, 'missing' from Maya. But there are a lot of scripts that can do this with a… -
Re: Photorealistic lamppost scene
Try to add some details to the post Dents from bubbles during production Side seam Connections look a bit flimsy. I would add dead insects. Usually there are a lot of them. Move dirt to the lowest part. Raindrops hit sides more often and with higher energy. Also drops lose their velocity as they go down the spherical… -
cant export mesh maps from substance painter after retouching?
hello, i get this error when i try to export from mesh maps from substance painter. I retouched AO and Normal and need them out as they retouched but substance wont let me do it probably because they are out of their stack when they usually are when u initially bake them. Is there any method? -
Re: What Blender Tasks Are Still Wasting Your Time? Looking for Real Automation Targets
Yess! My man! I’m an environment artist with a background in organics. There are not many problems left that I would not myself try to script around, but the biggest choke point for me has been retopologizing and adding UV seams to lowpoly organic models. I'll use these rocks as an example: When I do a highpoly to lowpoly… -
Re: Vinyl Jukebox
I have finished my vinyl jukobox! It is one of my official first 3D models that are done. I have struggled quite a lot with it, as I am usually learning as I go; the progress is very slow, and there have been times where I spent an entire day on something only to not get anywhere. Now that I am finished, I can see so many… -
Re: Struggling to Create High-Quality Grass for UE5 – Need Help Before I Go Insane
Agree, also any normal map on the grass does nothing good IMO. Looks awful usually and mips out suddenly. The main issue is how to make it seamless to ground 2d grass material when 3d disappears. A huge part of grass appearance is light scattering / translucency when you see the grass glow toward the sun . it's usually a… -
Re: [WIP] - Game Ready Stylized 3D Character
Have you tried contacting Márcio to ask permission and share your progress? Usually concept artists are flattered, and love to see a derivation like this! -
Re: Weird Artifacts When Baking High Poly to Low Poly in Substance Painter
Two important considerations to think about with an asset like this: 1. It's best to align UVs vertically or horizontally, instead of diagonally. This avoids jagged/blurry artifacts from antialiasing, and improves downsampling for LODs and MIPs. 2. For hardsurface assets, you'll get better results by not using baked normal… -
Re: Intergalactic Spaceship
20mm is rarely used in film (unless you're Terrence Malick 😅) It's just generally considered not very cinematic: It just starts looking more like CCTV footage (or an amateur environment artist portfolio😬). More cinematic camera angles are usually the ones with longer lenses but of course it varies based on intent. If you…
