Re: How does one decide on a project?
Choosing a project isn't easy, but if you treat it like a job it isn't hard either. For personal projects for fun it absolutely doesn't matter what you do or if you finish it, so meh. Its your time, your gain/loss what you do with it. For portfolio pieces things are quite different. A portfolio isn't anything else than… -
Normalize your textures!
I made a couple SBSAR procedural filters for normalizing textures, since I couldn't find reliable tools for this. Maybe they can help you! Normal maps should always be normalized before final delivery, to make sure the vectors are mathematically correct for optimal shading. It's easy to edit textures in tools like… -
Re: cruise ship lobby (Seeking Honest Feedback on My Portfolio Piece)
Hi! I think it's a cool location :+1: I recommend taking a step back from 3d and break the reference down, identifying what's important/ location-defining. Including such preparation steps in your thread (and portfolio), you can communicate your thought-proccess to the viewer. Had a quick go at it: I think this doesn't… -
Re: Could I kindly request some feedback on a student project?
Hi Eric, I truly value your feedback! I would love to include more props, but I'm short on time and prefer not to rush the details at the last minute. However, I plan to add more after I submit it for my portfolio. I think it would be great to add tassels to the curtain pulls, but I'm a bit uncertain about how to make that… -
Re: how to use displacement for bricks
I would recommend modeling it out with actual brick meshes, if you really need the silhouette to be affected. Most of the time you don't, a good normal map does wonders. Plus you can add individual low-res brick meshes here and there to emphasize edges. Here's an older example that combines two tiled textures, plus a bit… -
Re: Sketchbook: Emeryn Pittel
Here are some renders of my latest project, I made a game ready asset of Pyke's weapon from League of Legends. I wanted to add more detail and texture than the original model in the game. Baking my highpoly sculpt from Zbrush was a bit of a pain, but I learned a lot through this project. -
Re: DL-44 Han solo's trusted heavy blaster
Thanks for all the critics! I am fixing stuff right now! More polys, fixing one of the apparent smoothing errors and clarifying some textures sipher3325: What kind of smoothing errors did you saw? And what do you mean by the wooden handle is off? Is it because the color is wrong or something else? Shrike: Yes, it was made… -
Re: Mechanoid exo suit completed
Thanks! Yeah, that’s exactly the idea — kind of a masking effect, like a white shark’s grey-white coloring. The goal is to make it blend and disappear at distance. I’m planning to add some organic elements and get those animated soon. -
Re: Weird bug uploading certain images?
You mean a shortcut to the animation topic about how to post your work? It's a sticky in that section. I can add it to the Information About Polycount & New Member Introductions but I think it'll just be ignored like everything else lol. -
Re: Unreal Engine 3 - MASTER THREAD
it won't work on bsp brushes unless they are round which i assume they aren't as it's bsp i guess modelled outlines would drop too, so you need to "blur" your image/zbuffer a gaussian blur is basicly nothing more then moving your screentexture (alpha is zbuffer) into every direction by X Units (0.001 will do) and giving…
