Re: Mesoamerican Environment
Been a while since I updated this. Have been looking at a few tutorials and made a starter/base of the landscape using world machine. Have also had a bit of time working on some textures and assets for this. The arch is getting there still a lot of wonky uv's and placeholder textures, I just felt like having a little break… -
Re: Is World Machine still an industry standard tool for terrain creation?
World Machine is still widely used in studios worldwide, and there are plenty of tutorials on how to use it online. Thing is, most studios only care about the end result, and not the software you are using. That is, if you can create amazing landscapes using either World Machine, Terragen, World Creator, or even sculpt… -
Re: What is a Level Artist?
Yes probably like that, that would require more general and traditional skills, making those amazing vistas and such things, lighting, leading the eye , a lot of composition and so on, think Bob Ross - and the ability to make things in 3D if needed and know about lighting, shading, processing and such in engines. Probably… -
Re: [FOLIAGE] ~ My fourth attempt at making trees, I'd use some critique and advice...
This is not even close to the kind of appearance I want to achieve. It's gonna be a third person game, players will walk through woods in an open-world/landscape environment, I cant settle for a 6 sided trunks with short 4 sided branches glued onto it and then covered with blurry cards. Dont get me wrong, these trees look… -
Re: help with Google Earth 3d query?
Back in mid 00 when I lived right outside these industrial jungles in the ChannelView/Freeport neighborhoods... I remember a massive fire that was a pretty big deal at the time. And before I came across that pit I did find one of the larger refinery spire of tubes that seemed to still have a burnt out center. Which sort of… -
Re: any tutorials on grouping and spreading out vegetation realistically
There's a great explanation of how to create good game landscape compositions in the Allods Online art bible, "Creating a World in 7 Days" (starting page 13 or so) http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Art_Bible I used similar techniques recently to make some environment layouts, a couple examples...… -
Re: Questions about PC build
There are definitely some programs around that can eat up any arbitrary amount of RAM that you throw at them, but you almost always don't HAVE to subdivide your model straight to 200 million polys in Mudbox to get a good sculpt out of it or bake directional lightmaps on a huge landscape in UE4. 16 GB is plenty, and 8 GB is… -
Re: [UDK] Moated Grange Environment
I think Im the only one that is upset on the high contrast that is eating out my eyes. I like how the shadows adorn on the landscape, the reflections in the water, the composition of the shots(specially shot nr 2) I know you want to achieve an oil painting kind of look, but I say you already achived that with the colors. I… -
Re: Alex Gonzales wips desert Sniper
This is going to be hard for your first sculpt. You may want to double check your proportions, the legs look too long and the arms look too short. From a design standpoint, why is a sniper wearing flashy colors, particularly in a barren landscape? The helmet is holding back the rest of the wardrobe. The armor/equipment…
