Re: Example Next Gen environment art
Wow, things do always get out of hand rather quick here. I think Gauss summed it all quite neat. It's just as important that people know which techniques and tools to use WHEN. I'd rather hire someone who told me he did that texture in PS, than someone who had modeled it in hipoly and did parts of it in ZBrush, which would… -
Getting Polypaint from hi res model into texture to fit the low res version
Hello, I am still in the retopo stage (Graphite tools of 3dsmax on Zbrush model). For texturing I wanted to use polypaint in Zbrush (Spotlight tool) - which looks only nice on the hi res model. So I need to turn the polypaint into a texture, which can only be done if you have UVs on the High res model. I was thinking I… -
[3Ds Max] best way to optomize just keep the shell of object/get rid of the verts inside
I was making a rope and realized that there are a ton of unused polys and verts inside of the center of it. If this was say.. zBrush, I would know all the polys and verts were just on the surface. What is the best way to convert delete the unneeded stuff on the inside that is never seen without taking it to zbrush or what… -
Blender- cannot get point cloud to procure wisps off of mesh for ghost
So I am trying to create a cool ghost pony with a particle system with a wind force and vortex behind it that blows upon the pony.

What are the best methods for getting a high poly Zbrush created asset into a game ready asset?
Hey guys! I created a character entirely in Zbrush. It has no UV's, needs retopology and I completely polypainted it. I was originally just doing it for fun however I decided I wanted to try to convert it into an asset that would work in a game engine to learn and explore that process. What would you guys say is the best… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Hey everyone! :) Just finished up this project created in Unreal Engine 5. This one ended up being more challenging than I initially expected, especially when it came to getting materials like snow/frost to read correctly and working with decals. That said, I learned a ton throughout the process and I’m really happy with… -
Re: Futuristic gun - first next-gen model
"Long thin triangles" have generally been more of an issue with static objects utilizing vertex lighting, whereas objects such as these that would likely receive real-time lighting aren't as affected by this....of course this also depends on the engine. As far as your texture size, there is realistically no purpose to… -
Where I get stuck when I don't start with linework, advice appreciated :)
Work In Progress I didn't start with line work. I'm at the point where I start muddying things up, going over and over what is there without improving on it at all, even worsening it (for example where the center waterfall meets the cliff). 3 layers: * foreground cliff/stairs * character * bg environment (had 1 overlay and…
