Re: Early testers wanted (platform for indie & solo game devs)
The path into game development really depends on where you're starting from. Some people start with an idea or thing they want to see in a game and learn skills as they go. Others master art or programing first and either find a counterpart or eventually branch out into the other discipline while working on different… -
Re: Seeking suggestions for my environment workflow {pictures included.}
0) Terminology in 3d is a total mess. map and texture are the same thing :) 1) Here's a quickie example of some of what I was talking about. I have six separate sheets using different areas of the metal texture. I could have used a single quad for the whole surface mapped to use the whole texture. In the end, I'd combine… -
Re: [UDK] Sci-Fi City [WIP]
@dpaynter26: thanks! @Ignacio_G: Thanks! My high poly workflow is pretty standard. I modeled everything in 3ds max max and did bakes in 3ds max, too. I do plan on using nDo2, and maybe dDo whn it comes out, but for not i'm sticking to old fashioned poly modeling. Also, as you can notice, i have a some floating geo in my… -
Re: Autodesk Max vs. Maya?
Let me answer these questions to the best of my knowledge. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. 1. The programs might look only slightly different but in fact differ a lot on how they are built. Max is a windows only program while Maya also has iOS and Linux releases. The reason Max is not being ported to other… -
Re: Designing stuff - basics, how to approach the entire thing
Nice feedback guys! Itzaspace + Huffer are correct. Before I left in a rush I was going to add the way I plan current and future projects. As i mentioned, I would love the opportunity to work with Bethesda Game Studios, preferably working on future Fallout/TES series games. Knowing that i've been non stop searching these… -
Re: "Thumbnailing"
The thing with thumbnails is that you kinda have to do them fast or you get bogged down working on one. Turn and burn, keep moving and then once you've made enough you can pick and choose what parts you like and what you dont like. You have to fail over and over to get something good. 1. each thumbnail/silhouette shouldn't… -
Re: UV Layout Why is this wrong for games?
Your goal is to make the model look as good as it can within a memory constraint and as efficiently as possible. So, if mirroring and overlapping parts of the models UV's means you can get the resolution you need from a smaller texture, that is more efficient, right? If the model needs a mix of tiling textures and some… -
Re: Work flow help
I'd call this a good work-flow, but to add, I would like to stress a few points about some things I do myself... 1) Make it FUN for yourself, and keep motivation up for the project. How, I'll get into that further down. You most likely are creating game assets because you love it, right? If you don't, you probably… -
Re: Question about modelling interiors for unreal engine
Kind of hard to tell what's going on in your screenshot but I'll give some general advice. Separate wall meshes are nice if you made it as a tile-able/modular mesh set, as you can keep reusing a few assets to create rooms quickly vs having to make unique content for everything. One thing to keep in mind though is your draw… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Jamie Murphy, 3D Environment Artist
A big problem I see is the initial page is a big picture of your face and a wall of text. Which continues to the portfolio where the thumbnails are just a little bigger than the picture of your face. I'm all for seeing a resume/CV early, but we need content AND fast. Modular church beauty shot is a weird stack of filters.…
