Re: Anyone seen nutsy? A model I've been working on
Lately i've been forced to learn how to tone down on the texturing due to the style the artists here at work have. When i was making skin i just tried my best to replicate the skin shader used in the incredibles. Honestly most of the time there isn't even textures involved. Skin for example, is kept down to the absolute… -
Re: 3ds max: reset pivot rotation
Well, I just tried these methods out and for some weird reason it isn't working for me right. Mop: on some objects when I click "affect pivot only" then "align to world" it actually moves the mesh! I'm not sure why this is, but these were meshes that I have already edited so I tried to just make a simple box and try it… -
Re: You learn more under a bad lead artist...Agree?
to play devils advocate, think about every video game you've ever played. For the games that you've hated, why did you hate them? For the games that you loved, why did you love them? I'd wager that 9/10 times you can list substantially more specific reasons why a game stinks, than why a game is great. The majority of the… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | January - February (70)
PatSaenzG Looks like you exclusively poly modelled this. There are some powerful sculpting tools built into blender. Sculpting can really add a lot to any 3D asset. Poly modelling, unless done by a master, often looks very rigid and synthetic. Give sculpting a try to give your model some more organic details (undulating… -
Re: About workflow
Do you know your preferred study method yet? It usually applies to learning everything in your life, so look at your past experiences for clues of what's it. People love those classic "how to model X" tutorials in which they replicate steps to achieve a random thing then apply the knowledge to a project of their own. Such… -
Re: [WIP][UE4] Forest Hut settlement
Completely scrapped my lighting and started from scratch - and very glad I did. I'm much happier with this scene now. I owe it to Josh Lynch for telling that this scene wasn't hitting its potential due to lighting. I didn't truly understand what DFAO, Lightmass, or Volumetric Lighting were or how they worked, so I watched… -
Re: Substance Painter to UnrealEngine BaseColor
Maybe you could post a screenshot of both softwares using unlit mode, in Substance you can do this by only showing your basecolor in the 3D viewer, in UE4 you can switch to it in the top left corner. This way you could check if it totally depends on the light sources or an error occurring in the export and/or importing to… -
Re: Motivation, where do ya'll get it?
It's not about motivation man, it's about discipline and habits. Start working on stuff every day, give yourself rewards for accomplishing goals, learn and get better by doing and stop worrying about being "perfect" because you never will be. You'll never hit a moment where you go "Damn, I'm done here, don't need to learn… -
Re: Student Seeing Portfolio Review for 3D Artist Position in Games
I can relate to your struggle with learning how to texture. I would consider myself far from a natural talent in that respect. But the good thing is everything can be learned and through practice and observation i have improved quite a bit over the last couple years. A good starting point is to take a very close look at… -
Re: LCD Module, need whatever advice can be given.
Hi, I would say this is the start of something. The LCD pannel needs more work into the screen texture, you could try and make highlights, scratches, or anything that comes to your mind to break the flat colors you are using right now. The mix between photo texture and flat color is very inconsistent. The Desert eagle is a…
