Hey guys, working on this sample art test i was able to download from a local studio. Here are the instructions: "As an environmental artist you will sometimes have a limited amount of reference material for an asset that needs to be created. This tall structure is an example of something that has a high level of…
Yeah the Steel Heart books are awesome too! Also if anyone is looking for some real OG Sci-Fi check out The Mote in God's Eye and The Gripping Hand (might be published under the mote around gods eye in some places). Larry Niven Jerry Pournelle are some of the all time best. Considering when they where first published they…
@Marcus Aseth: Have you considered a standing desk? I built my own standing desk so that I can switch between sitting to standing anytime I want(I mostly stand now). The first day or two takes some getting used to but afterwards its great. Also concerning about strengthening your lower back, there is no other way around it…
My team and I have been using Copy for two years now and while the early days were a bit buggy, it has just been getting better and better. We use Perforce for our Unreal source control, of course, but for everything else we use Copy. One of the best parts is the "splitting the bill" aspect of it. Our project folder is…
Basically, try to avoid anything that makes the silhouette drastically change between two neighbouring LODs. Deleting edges on UV border is bad news too. Tangent space normal maps can be surprisingly robust at a distance, but still try to avoid introducing really big changes in vertex normal direction. As you get to the…
Please find bellow some head close up The mouth seems a litlle weirdo (convex), because of the field of view. About the face, the injury/wound is a burn with a scar. For hair, i 've used,hair card with painted hairbrush (via a custom Illustrator brush). @ BIGTIMEMASTER pluralsight has several courses and you could complete…
Looking good NAIMA. I think your range of greens is slightly too narrow, try introducing some more yellow into the palm leaves and maybe desaturate them just a tiny bit. A dead palm branch or two on the ground as well as a few still hanging from the trees themselves might help. Fallen coconuts, driftwood, and bits of…
The plant models look great, and I love the ground textures. I feel like the placement of the vines is a bit too even and perfect to look natural, and I think the trailer could use more rust and weathering for such a wet ecosystem. The chrome trim in particular looks too polished to me. The pine needles and pine cones on…
Hey man, nice job, I like it :) Good amount of details. Just two things i can suggest. The first is the screws. They are too pristine. What about some scratches, like the box was opened multiple times? Some scratches around them, like from a screwdriver? Just some thoughts! The other thing: i can't say if you used a normal…
Thanks guys! I'll try and post some flats tomorrow. Exploding for bakes doesn't take too much more effort, so it's not a huge deal for me. Might be tad quicker with mat id's, but I'm used to this way and it works for me. Will rotate the fire selector later, but wedo have selectable fire modes in game. Obviously safe is not…
