Re: Texel density and units in depth
Thank you @Mirbobo , you are absolutely right I am thinking about it too much despite the fact that I mostly keep my td consistent and prefer texture atlas approach as you mentioned. I was having a hard time figuring out 10.24px/cm or 1024/m td for unique items that will be out of 0-1 space however after reading your reply… -
Re: GDC Portfolio Review Wrap Up
I think the problem is a lot of new enviroment artists make very sterile scenes that are too plain and boring, that makes them seem detached from reality. Even a simple scene can add narrative. What type of SciFi corridor is this? Is it a military ship? Is it new? What type of people would use this corridor? Is it supposed… -
Re: Retopology: What Do I Do?
I'm by no means as expert, especially wiht enviro/prop related things, but my inclination would still be to manually retopo this item (although I would have built the game model first anyway). Reason being : 1. it's very simple. Just a rectangle with some other rectangles. Lock will be a litlte challenging but nothing… -
Re: Newbie question about ambient occlusion
[ QUOTE ] Really the best use i see of ambient maps as a seperate texture is for tiling enviro stuff that you cant bake into the diffuse, and i know for things like that you definately do what to have that little bit of ambient shadow when its lit or else it will just look really flat and fake. [/ QUOTE ] I find that for… -
Re: [CE3] Beach Bar Environment

Re: Futuristic Props
hi there! i just wanted to say i really loved this prop! it look futuristic without being completely illogical as many futuristic props I've seen tend to be. I actually had a question for you, Im trying to post a bmp file of an envirment i just modeled, but since im new to the site i have no clue how to do it, would you… -
Re: Quiet Tuscan Street (WIP)
I think that reference is fine. Maybe just a matter of the lighting. Having the directional light come from viewers 9-11 o'clock position may help spread a little light on the street and also give some more shape and sillhouette to the buildings, I wonder? I guess my main critique is just that overall the scene feels a bit… -
Re: UTMC - Na Pali: The Blood From Yesterday
It would be awesome if the map was split in 2 areas: one a gritty interior and the rest taking place in a lush green valley where VR crashed. Regarding visibility, I guess that a lot has to do with how the shaders are put together, eg how quickly details maps kick in, how much of the character colour comes from diffuse,… -
Re: [UE4] Tevinter Imperium Inspired Courtyard
OMFG AWESOME Scene! Saw an article of ur enviro @ work today. Would be lying if i said many (myself included) were not inspired & jelly of ur mad skillz! XD I'm not one to judge but judge i shall...ur dragon feels weird/off to me...namely the head and wings. The snout make it look mammalian (try raising the tip and… -
Re: udk sizes/proportions confusion
As far as your first point - aren't walls generally just flat planes that don't have any thickness? What are the conditions where walls would have a certain thickness? Like, in a doorway or something? Anyways, I think it's becoming clearer - the power of 2 thing seems to be best for pieces that are used in larger-scope…
