Re: Forum font colors are washed out!
There's nothing to be sorry about, Eric. We all know you're helping and we appreciate the time you spend here. :) I think the colors on the left makes it distracting. But I also think that's because I'm seeing a lot of colorful lines there. On the other hand when seeing those colors a few times in a thread it makes it feel… -
Re: Conor's art progression
@Eric Chadwick Thanks for the feedback, I am going to fix the wood handles. I like the old scythe idea for reference, I wasn't really sure where to start for that. I'm glad you mentioned the lighting, I have been experimenting with it a lot, never got it to a point where it felt like it fit though. I have been planning on… -
Re: What are normal freelance rates?
I agree with Eric, $25 an hour is way too low for your skill level. Ask $40 and push them hard to get it. If you aren't comfortable advocating for yourself you are going to have a very rough time freelancing. Also, consider that you are part of a scalable labor force. The company hiring you only needs to pay you while they… -
Re: ANSWERED: Dota 2 Presents: (Stylized work)
Eric, that sounds awesome. I know that stylized materials are usually characterized by texturing and brush-strokes or very specific blown-out color styles influenced by shading and highlights, seeing how some pro artists set up those smart materials by including some core examples (like DOTA 2, WoW, Painterly, Borderlands)… -
Re: Warhammer Squig 'speed asset'(3-day challenge)
Cheers Eric, appreciate the comment. Yes, I have some more breakdown examples to show. I also, have the Sketchfab model/animation cycles to post, and some UE4 screenshots. I also intend to do a short 'making of/workflow overview' video that I'll post. To be honest the whole project went really smoothly without any… -
Re: Increasing Mobile Game Performance Through Vertex Color (article)
@Eric Chadwick Thanks man, I'm glad you like it. It shouldn't be too monochrome but yes, it is limited by the vertex resolution unless you have the option to use decals so you can add drips etc. In Maya you can paint by faces, it doesn't seems to change the vertex count but Unity will read it as 2 vertex, since the bucket… -
Re: How to use both tiling and not-tiling textures on large objects
Thank you very much Kryzon! I thought that there is some *magic trick* that he can handle it :) ... But just like always, in 3d graphics, every detail needs a bit of love. No shortcuts. I'll try your method soon. :) And thank you Eric for your advices. I've never used ShaderFX and there is finally reason to check 3ds max… -
Re: Resize UV Map Texture Box?
Ahhh I think I get what you're are saying now Eric, As you can see from the middle image I already have some pretty low poly parts build for each separate part. I just need to finish bending them in the right angles to match the body lines of the RZR. Once I get this done I can poly paint all those parts and bake each of… -
Re: 3D Max: Texture to UV>W< Asset
I think Eric is onto something, buy a ball, cut it open like you would unwrap it, study it, scan it and figure out how they laid out the pattern. It looks like the pattern near the poles and seams isn't evenly square chunks but each patch is skewed a bit to help accommodate the distortion. There definitely are some areas… -
Re: Where do I pick things up again?
totally off subject, (welcome back and all that stuff btw) but you really don't need chuggnuts UV tools. About the only tools it has that autodesk hasn't rolled into max are the UV offset (which I think is broken in chuggnuts if you try to use it in max 7 and up, without getting the butchered version from Eric) and the…
