Re: Online courses with mentors - are they worth it?
My suggestion - the more advanced you are the more personalized your training should be. If you have not even done the pipeline, its wasted money to go and get yourself a mentor. If you are learning the basics chances are you will find everything for free on the internet. If you need structure to learn then you might need… -
Re: what are the most important basic skills and styles any "digital" artist should know?
Kind of bouncing off of what Dustin said, learn to absorb and learn from other artist's work (no matter the style or medium) but at the same time see that they are now the quality bar you have to be above to be competitive. A lot of artists, especially starting out, will see great work and immediately see them as "so good,… -
Anisotropic hair shaders for UDK
Hey Polycount, I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to point me in the direction of where I would be able to find a anisotropic hair shaders for UDK to use for character hair? I have been looking but all I have been able to find are youtube videos of hair in action in UDK which are not really that useful to me.… -
Re: Blade Nare
I have considered it. I might try it for the arms; this kind of dynamesh resolution just can't hold the shape of a diagonal. I find it a bit clunky in general, though, which is why I don't tend to use it, but I'll try adapting it in this case and see how I get on. It's definitely a trap I must escape, though. I have yet… -
Re: Un-disassemblable nodes in Substance Designer?
you might find that your publish settings need adjusting - i haven't generated an sbsar by hand in years (all automated now) but i vaguely remember there being specific things you needed to fill in to get it to export at a fixed size. it'll be in the docs somewhere -
Re: Learning to use expensive software in order to reduce foreign competition?
Well they don't admit to themselves or to others that the third party uses pirated software. But someone somewhere at the top always knows, and knows that it helps the bottom line to not talk about it. And as long as there are some license arrangements in house that keeps software companies happy with their logos presented… -
Re: An exercise in modular textures - Scifi lab UDK
I still find this thread mindblowing. It is a method of texturing I like very much, just needs a lot of planning. Is there any name for this kind of texturing method? I'd like to find more information about the technique and games where it was used. There are some hints in the thread, but nobody spells anything out -… -

Re: Grayscale to color in real time with small one row of pixels lut texture?
poopipe Thanks a lot for the comment . The idea crossed my mind long ago since I do all my textures from heigh /depth basically and base color ones looks like something from 256 colors pallet era. As well as roughness too. Am I right when think it would be basically same as regular texture filtering when gpu calculate… -
Re: Your first months in the industry, how was it?
My first day I was told, "Here's your computer. You'll have to look around the office to find monitors, keyboard, and mouse." It was awkward... The first couple of months were everything you would think it would be: exciting, depressing, stressful, fun, etc. It took a bit to get into the routine and find my feet, but it…
