Re: [WIP] VTOL SHIP
Thanks for the crit gsokol, the reason I've left the object the way it is, is because I'm going to use the face weight normals approach so panels (and all baked detail for that fact) are added as decals /trim sheets. Therefore my now highpoly soon to be midpoly once I've converted it will have no surface detail only… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (78)
Hello! First blockout looks good. I'd note that the person in the concept looks like a child to me (for scale reference). Sound like reasonable options! I'd say which one depends much on the rules you set yourself. If it's a generic asset, option 1 seems a good way to go about it. This way one could build more assets from… -
Re: 70s March
Thank you all for the supportive comments! Update: Started working on some Bacchus ceramics. trying to get that trimsheet workflow down. Was really tough getting the straight pattern to tile around the bend of the plates so I had to compromise by putting in extra geo. LODs should solve any tri count issues, but I think… -
Final Fantasy VII Church Fan art - Looking for feedback
Hi everyone, I'm trying to understand environment art for games again. I've been away from it for a long time (like 10 years) doing visualization work, and the production pipeline for that is different, to say the least. I created this fan art of the church from Final Fantasy VII Remake to practice utilizing modular pieces… -
Re: UV Shell Too Large To Fit In UV Map!
What would be wrong with putting the stripes onto the roadmesh too, and not by decal? Here we would be back at texture layering :) Decals are great for several things. But not so great for others as you just find out. Shadows is also such a trouble maker as i remember ... Also, when it's a modular system, what about let's… -
(UE4) Gas Station
Hi ! I just finished my latest personal project, a stylized desert gas station. nothing too complicated here. The goal was only to train on unreal engine 4 using the techniques I learned during this year. For this environment I used a very modular approach because I wasn't sure what artistic direction the project was going… -
UE4 - Bunker Environment
ArtStation post: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/044e98 Hi! This is an environment in Unreal Engine 4 I created in 4 weeks for a my school. I had to do everything from scratch and implement some new technics I was learning (trimsheets, bakes with zbrush, retopology, etc.). Also I had to be aware of the pbr rules and I… -
Re: Some questions about environment art
Is Substance Designer mandatory? It depends on the studio, if they need their artists to know that. But, I'd say it's best to at least get a good grasp on how it works. The workflow, making tileable textures, still falls in environment art. Should I focus on becoming proficient with Maya, Painter, Unreal, or Substance… -
Help with trim sheet material shader setup?
I have a trim sheet with normal map information. I want to reuse the trimsheet as much as possible, therefor it only contains normal information and no unique color, roughness etc. I have multiple props using this trim sheet for their normals, such as the one above. Then I have 3 materials I would like to apply to my… -
Foliage & Lighting Improvement Thread - seeking critique
Why this thread I want to bring my environment art skills to an industry level & learn things we didn't get thought in school. Also I'm currently in between Bachelor and Master & living with my family. This is a great opportunity to really push me & create new work. By sharing my progress here, I'm hoping to get some…
