[Closed] Looking for 3D Generalists
EDIT: Thank you to everyone who has applied. We're currently going through the portfolios and will reach out those who fits the requirements soon. Hi, I am the design director at a small boutique company called Innovation Works. My company specializes in making functional apps, prototyping, virtual reality, augmented… -
Re: The dilema of Ptex!!!
I think there are some render time considerations as well, as ptex was originally developed for movie productions at Disney. Maybe some easier memory management or such. Also, movie VFX creatures need very very high texel density so it's pretty common to use dozens of 2K maps to get enough resolution. They achieve this by… -
Re: Are cloud rendering services use-able for tweaking & creating single frames?
I have zero experience actually using render farms, but from what I've read when I looked into it they are better to render greater number of frames where you get the big speed boost by rendering many many frames in parallel. I'm not sure how vray works, but I believe for blender and maybe octane there is some kind of… -
Re: Game Art Portfolio Review
I think your Shrine is the strongest thing in there and that if you took that and made a checklist of everything you need to learn and apply it you could have something pretty cool. Will it be enough to land a job? Probably not. Will 5 more projects of that scale and with consistent quality throughout get you a job? Maybe.… -
Re: graphics in games really don't impress me anymore.
I think most of you as creators tend to see too much, as most artists, to appreciate your own work. I'm no kind of artist on par with your skills but I marvel at what I see in these games. Even to simply travel thru maps from Quake III let alone Doom 3, UT2004 or the Battlefield series to name a few. It is just incredible… -
Re: Grass Normals Issue
Since we are assuming that the terrain has no harsh angle changes, this trick will not work when you have steep slopes on the terrain, but you probably don't want to put foliage there anyways, so it should not really be a problem. If you do, you will need a more complex solution, involving either virtual texturing to… -
Re: Is Quixel cheating?
If you don't bring a sense of direction and artistic intent to these tools then yes you will get boring work. There is as much control as you want there to be. Process doesn't matter as much as the final results. I don't care if the model was scanned or the textures photographed as long as what the artist intends to… -
Re: organic rock UV seams
For these type of shapes I virtually always unwrap it like a tennis ball. 2 distinct chunks. I hope you're talking about seams with diffuse/spec, because a proper bake should be used to get a seamless normal map from your highpoly. You should never have to "paint out" seams on your normals, as this means your bake isn't… -
Re: Workflows for games, movies and other environments
This is a huge question to answer as there are specific roles in games and more importantly films industry devoted to pipeline alone. But to simplify if you want to create an image on your own its all fine by just modeling, texturing it and then rendering in zbrush as there is no need to change it later, give it to another… -
Re: relief mapping
As far as current generation cards go, I would say no Relief Mapping isn't worth it over real geometry. On my 6600GT I can expect Doom 3 to run using Normal Mapping - 120fps Parallax Mapping - 90fps (110fps if it's using Virtual Displacement) Relief Mapping - 38fps So it would just be as easy to use real geometry, but…
