If your asset is already low poly there's necessarily no need to create LODs, sub 1k vertices for example, or a small props that get culled away early anyway. These days creating LODs can be pretty much completely automated and the UE auto-LOD generally does a good job creating LODs for your props. For more specific cases…
Hi guys, A few weeks ago me and Pedro started working on a showcase scene for the Unity Virtual Texture plugin Diogo Teixeira is working on, due to release Q1 2011. Learn more about the plugin at the Unity forums here The scene consists of an urban environment in between buildings. It will feature a couple of connecting…
Looking good I'd call most of it game ready art provided textures where handled appropriately! I think the crits you already brought up are spot on and should be fixed. What is the purpose of this level and what is the perspective the player will see (RTS, FPS 3rdP-RPG)? I think the angle/zoom of the renders suggests RTS…
Week 8 update! Finally I managed to have more time to work on the project so here's what's new. Most of my time was spent texturing the props I had modelled on the past two weeks. I also got around to learn more about decals so I could fix some issues I had with the plant leafes on the table, and that also let me start…
So for smaller assets, particularly props and assets like that. I would make my lowpoly first and put that on a layer. Then make a subdivided version (not subdivided in the sense of highpoly modeling just edge loops so that Ill have even quads in Zbrush. If I know I'll need a pattern on a specific piece say a wicker…
Hi folks, I’ve been working on a Blender add-on to speed up asset prep for UE5/Unity. It automates LOD generation, collision mesh setup, and clean exports — basically removing a lot of repetitive steps for environment artists and tech artists. BlenderNation covered it recently: 👉 BlenderNation Article I’d love to hear what…
Hi! The name's SimplyBlissful. As a beginner 3D artist, I'm looking to offer my services to those who want their 2D projects, realized to 3D! I'm only offering 3D-Modelling, so no UV unwrapping, texturing or rigging. I'm also not creating models with mouth meshes. What I require from you on this is a turnaround sheet of…
Hey everyone! This is my first textured 3D prop. I’d love some honest feedback—what parts of the model and textures are working, what feels off, and how I can improve realism. Any tips are really appreciated!
hello everyone, So I am an art student who wants to go into 3d modeling and texturing for environments. I have been working hard to create a portfolio and all, but recently I was told that 3d modeling for environments or props would not be a good career choice because of websites like turbosquid, and the fact that other…
Hey! The situation in the 3D industry right now is, mildly speaking, not good. There were a lot of factors but I'm sure you've heard about the layoffs and studio closures. What this means is that it's currently very hard to get a job as a 3D artist. I've seen people looking for jobs for way longer than 6 months, so you're…
