Re: Having massive trouble PBR texturing. Help needed please
That link BeardedMike posted is gold! Try not to get too intimidated with PBR, its really not too different from earlier rendering practices, just the texture maps are slightly different. Since you're still new to PBR and texturing I think adding Substance into the mix is too much to learn at one time. Get more comfortable… -
Re: What Quality should my work be at?
I've just graduated, and to be honest your works probably average for where your at. All I can suggest is don't rush yourself; University merely touches upon the 3D world because the courses are so broad. Ideally you should spend your spare time practicing and realistically find what your good at/passionate about and stick… -
Re: I don't enjoy drawing, but my 3D is awesome
Im with Racer. Visualizing in 2D is harder than in 3D, honestly. You have to think about many many more things when drawing something (that isnt a doodle) than you do when sculpting or modeling it. Drawing is just a way of study. Do you HAVE to be able to draw anatomy to be able to sculpt it well? No. Do most people who… -
Re: Concept Art and Photoshop Brushes
Well you can always draw on a pad with traditional art tools and then scan it in, or if you have an nice wacom just do it all in photoshop. If you suck at drawing you can use vectors to make the shapes you want. If you want to be great like say Hawkprey just do what was said by EQ and Vig and just do it a lot, get… -
Re: BRAINSTORM: Ideas for personal projects
1) "Inari". A high poly sculpt to learn how to use ZBrush. It's based on a random piece of concept art found on the internet months ago. I would also like to take her to low poly... retopo and all. I'm about 80% done with the model as it is. I'll be starting texturing it soon. 2) I'm also interested in doing a series of… -
Re: heiligenschein
I've seen this heiligenschein from an airplane window many times, when the plane's shadow is cast onto the cloud deck. Very cool effect. For an engine to support the shadow part of the effect, it would need very high resolution shadow-casting. Not practical. Also not practical from the specular side of things... the… -
Re: Is there a protest going on right now at Artstation?
Could ethically sourced datasets ever be verified? Seems like it would just be like green-washing and organic labels are now. Nobody actually knows what the truth is, so all it amounts to is people paying more for something with a label which has a good chance of being as close to an outright lie as it possibly can be. And… -
Re: Does chasing a career in gaming make anyone else feel like the industry is toxic?
@NikhilR 🤣 Yes, I'm referring to AAA jobs where youre in house. I'm currently working with a remote indie studio myself but I'm referring to AAA Studios. I'm just trying to pontificate on the AAA hiring practices and the way its ran in general. Just seems like the industry practices would have matured with the money like… -
Re: 16 bits displacement vs 32 bits precision(SOLVED)?
There's a huge difference in terms of the range of values that can be stored (2.1 billion vs 65 thousand) Your monitor can't display the difference and your eyes would struggle to detect it even if it could. Practically speaking you don't really need the precision offered by a 32 bit image for most game art related… -
Re: Depressed and need some art inspiration
Man, I'm going through the same thing. Lack of time and a good understanding of anatomy is why I dropped out of the Noob Learning Challenege. BAck when I drew everyday my understanding of anatmy was good,not great. Now after many years of not drawing it sucks. The only thing I can do is keep practicing every day. I'm doing…
