Pencil & Paper 3DSMax XNormal nDo Photoshop Filterforge Because you asked and no-one else mentioned it I'm going to give a huge shout out to FilterForge. Many people expect it to just generate a texture for them and use it as a photoshop alternative. Bzzt *wrong* some of the noise patterns and details it can generate for…
@CodeferBlue Hey, I believe this is a nice looking barrel. I would be happy to use it in an environment. But the big problem is that these marketplaces are heavily saturated. Artists have built many assets like you and over time bundle them all together, selling them for relatively cheap. I wouldn't look at it as selling a…
I think its a matter of context. For design I'd say that 2D was essential, you just cant iterate at the same speed in 3D. A fluent 2D artist can depict complex forms in a few quick marks, you just cant do that in 3D, regardless of how many corners you cut. Also something I've noticed about folks who launch straight into 3D…
Games that you like. Too many, but not enough. Games that you hate. While opinionated from my side: neverwinter nights 2, taking something that was very promising, building from a previous game that had the largest, most extensive modding and multiplayer community you can find and then just doing it all wrong. Dragon age…
Wow, thanks Mark. I'm curious, since you've seem to have a lot of experience with budget Mocap. Let's say you wanted to get an inexpensive mocap studio going for your next game. You have to spend 1,000usd or less. 3DS Max is you 3d app. Let's say the Cryengine was what your game would be running on... What would you…
Sry for not replying sooner, I didn't see your comment until now and wish I had, I didn't mean to leave you stewing. The tone of your response makes it seem as though I've very much missed the mark on something here worth learning more about. I hope to find the time to learn more about it soon. Based on the comments I've…
OH NO! this is totally off the mark. Final Fantasy? the only reference i can find to final fantasy is a poster of FF XXVII in Pritchard's office. This game is way different. There is a style to the game. It's not after realism, but a uniform style with minimalism painted feel to it that blends all of the game together. The…
I've also sent them a few emails about this, asking for clarification. It's been over a week and all I got was this same automated reply, which seems very detached from reality. Their ignorance is frustrating. They seem to be focused on creator revenue so much that they completely overlooked or forgot about the fact that…
Well, it's not just the loading time though - the whole thing is incredibly fragile : And then, when attempting to retrive/import a MetaHuman that has already been used many times, it is marked as "Downloaded" but needs to be "generated" again. Now of course this is par for the course for heavy tech - but the whole…
i keep getting this result where it seems like a channel is being completely missed. it happened more than once, i've always managed to make it "reappear" but i don't know how i did and what is causing the issue. both meshes have been triangulated and i did all the basic procedures to bake this kind of texture. I've used…
