Re: Benelli M4 modeling and texturing study finished!
Good stuff! But there are a few things i would do different. First, the metal body needs better definition, currently it doesnt read as metal, it looks more like pre-pbr metal. The most important channel is roughness and it looks like your roughness is almost the same everywhere with very little variation. Combining a good… -
Re: A Traditional Journey Toward Dystopia
Finally making a start on this series of acrylic paintings which will either comprise of concept designs, environment visuals or indeed both (..we'll see) representing a personal impression living through a once in a hundred year "Black Summer" bushfire season for 8 months and frankly still mentally trying to accept had… -
Re: How much time do you find yourself being "in the zone" per day?
There are some interesting insights from this page. Here's an excerpt: How to Achieve Flow It’s important to note that one can’t experience flow if distractions disrupt the experience (Nakamura et al., 2009). Thus, to experience this state, one has to stay away from the attention-robbers common in a modern fast-paced… -
Re: [WIP][UE4] WW1 Trenches!
First things first, I love what you have. The placement of assets and choice of said assets (be they self made, store bought, or some mix) is solid. I think your atmosphere is also quite good. I wonder if you can add some volumetric fog or some localized volumes just for some additional effect once all is said and done.… -
Re: Creating a reel from scratch, what wows employers?
Unless I'm reviewing an animator, I personally prefer images. Images load faster, can't be fast-forwarded, are easier to keep up-to-date than a reel, and there are fewer ways to screw up presenting images on a website than cutting a reel. I understand your point but you're arguing against human nature here, as well as… -
Re: Question About Pay Rates...
If you're willing to accept below standard wages is one thing, where/who you live with, what sort of expenses you have an general cost of living make it impossible to really say what is acceptable for a certain person. But knowing that there is more to it than just "X hourly" rate is soooo important and a lot of first time… -
Re: LoDs: From how many tris does it make sense?
I dont know what the issue would be, you could use something like dropbox though and just post links. Now, this really depends on the content of your displacement map. If all you're doing is baking a smooth sphere to a lowpoly sphere, you really shouldn't see any difference at all. But once you start adding any sort of… -
Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
I'm in the same position of Kunalht but i'm 1 year from finish it. In my case is Software Engineering but that means if i apply a job for a character artist position, then my 5 years degree doesn't count? As for Kunalht, i felt the same 2 years ago but i couldn't leave the university because i had a contract. Everytime i… -
Re: Overworked: Looking for a permanent solution
Think about adding one or two forms of lower-back stretching to your routine. If lower-back pain is a thing for you, then stretching is something you should do everyday. I get an instantaneous mild relief from back-pain after doing an adductor stretch (just like what this guy in white tank top is doing, but pulling onto… -
Re: Graphics card question
@thomasp I've actually used 512 rays at work during production, and my GTX 960 2Gb bakes 4k AO maps with that ray count in about 10-20 minutes. The quality is alright, but it's just that for personal work I want to crank the quality to the 11, lol. I was actually thinking about baking 8k maps with 8192 rays on my upcoming…
