I've been pretty quiet on these forums but for good reason! I've had my nose to the indie grind stone trying to finish Spellbounders an RPG word game for the iPad. We release March 10th and are really excited to finally release and get people playing! We've worked hard on the art and think it would be a good idea to share…
Im making a UI that will control all the light shaders in the scene at once without having to go into the nodes of each one everytime. I can get every attribute I want except the values from the dropdown optionmenus in the attribute editor. How can I get this value and change it? Im looking at the script editor with echo.…
I am in desperate need of some harsh critique. I'm aware that, while my work has come leaps and bounds over the last year since I graduated, I'm still not at AAA level yet. I've done 4 art tests in the last 4 months and all have been rejected, but none could/would provide feedback (which I completely understand, it just…
Hello, there. I have noticed that there are already other threads that deal with sorting vertex indices in a specific order. But, these are meant to work from different axes or camera angles. I appear to have a different situation, although similar in this regard. Currently, I have a custom rollout in which I can select…
Hi! This is my first post, so apologies if it is not formatted ideally. TLDR; I need help finding a method to rig a character's shawl/cape that follows their arms beyond basic skinning. Any suggestions, tips or explanations on a driven joint-based shawl set up would be very appreciated! I cannot use nCloth or nHair…
The key comes down to discipline and don't get me wrong, it is hard. I currently work in a non-art job within the games industry, but I'm trying to grow my skills as a 3d artist at the same time. When you already put in 8-9 hours at work (or more some days), and when you are juggling other life commitments such as your…
A few Marmoset renders... Hi Guys, I needed to try out a new boolean workflow and get to grips with Substance Painter properly. I felt a gun would be a good candidate for my portfolio as my old one was non-PBR and looked a bit obsolete! I found a suitable candidate on Instagram. A customized AR15. I wasn't aiming to…
Old Wounds It had been weeks since the Basilich Uprising had been put down, and even far from the fortified walls of the capital the Empire's grip had been firmly reinforced. It was not like Ionia. Life here could go on as normal, save for the occasional news of a battle, or someone talking about those who were lost. Riven…
A prank one of the guys at my last place told me about was plugging in another mouse (wireless) into someone's machine then occasionally giving it a nudge. The victim would be on messenger, looking at his keyboard as he typed and the other guy would nudge the mouse and click to deselect the program. Then after typing the…
Hi again. I've found it really hard to find a decent foliage shader. I've done a bunch of tutorials but none have yielded any better results than the last. I find each type of leaf or blade of grass requires different attention, depending on size, amount and normal direction. Doens't look like there is a quick, or cheap…
