Re: Best workflow for variants? Need some insight
I'm not very experienced but I can offer an opinion. Method 3 seems like the way to go. Drop AO maps for the macro-AO, that is the AO that would exist from the detail pieces being near the vehicle body. Let SSAO or whatever handle that. Just have per-mesh AO for the smaller details on each mesh. You could also attack from… -
Re: Why you need an education
As someone coming from EU to the US, all I know is : I wouldn't work @ Blizzard if I didn't have a Bachelor degree... It's as simple as that. Degrees are such a major leverage when it comes to US immigration. Especially if you aren't a video game rock star. H1B with a proper degree is WAY easier to get than an O1 (if you… -
Re: Artstation and tits
Are you guys still going on about artists getting some actual recognition for shipping a product and being proud of their work? Excuse me for a second but isn't that the fucking point? I don't know about you guys but working on a project for 2-3 years or more and not being able to show any of it, then being given the green… -
Re: .-| Week 8 - The Weekly Hard Surface Challenge |-.
The pinching occurs because you started out with too few sided cylinder. I myself went with a 36 sided cylinder and used 3 faces to create the clamps (I calculated I wanted 3 faces to be pulled and gaps of 6 this allowed me to have all quads. *I also had a cube with the rough estimates of how big I wanted the gaps/the… -

Re: I'm a New Grad looking for critiques on my portfolio
Hi man, I think some of the presentations of your work could use some work. For example, the composition of the flamethrower in the last three images are cropping the asset a bit unlucky in my opinion. I would either show the asset completely, or zoom in more on the details you want to show off. Right now it's kinda in… -
