Particles & the illusion of turbulence
Hello Polycount! Here is an article/tutorial I wrote yesterday and basically it's about creating a turbulent-like movement for particles without using a vector field or similar. It felt better reposting it here rather than just linking to my website (good or bad idea? layout got worse). I'd love to hear your thoughts, if… -
Re: Sketchbook: Tom Martyn
Market Stalls Recently created some market stalls for Three Winds Games medieval strategy game. For the wooden frame I sourced a CCO wood texture which I tweaked in PS before creating Roughness, AO and Normals from it in B2M. The carts seen in the seen also use the same wood material. For the stall cloth I first simulated… -
Re: Surforge 1.0.1 released - new tool for 3d rendered PBR texturing
You're right, the main approach of Surforge is polygons. As you know, for working with bitmap things, there are already great proven software. Surforge works like as if you were creating your texture elements in the 3D editor. This opens up some interesting possibilities. As texture in Surforge is actually a 3d scene, you… -
Re: Your thoughts on the current state of the workshop/DOTA2Store
Now I'm only a small speck of a beginner in the Dota 2 Workshop world, but here's my observations. Valve has stated that they want to weed out low-quality submissions to the workshop. The trend by Valve to support this has been the encouragement to create almost entirely character-altering sets containing new character… -
Re: head wip
the profile looks great. if you are planning to release the head as a texture package, i wouldn't make it very high-poly. i would totally ditch the eyelid mesh and let the texture-work do the talking. make eyes like the MoP models. the spot under the nose is most-likely being caused by this 5 sided n-gon. 3 things that may… -
Re: The Human Form - Male
Vahl: I Will probably take your advice and pose the character into a T pose before moving on. I really want to keep the proxy mesh as simple as possible, so I won't be adding more lines at this stage. Thanks for your crits. Shotgun: I've learned that creating a skeleton and doing the muscles over em might be great practise… -
Re: Industrial Design / How much creative freedom do 3D prop/environment artist have?
It depends on the studio, the project, the Art Director, and other factors. It can range from 'here - create this exactly as described' to 'make this game level based on rough ideas...feel free to do what you want with it to make it cool for the game'. I can't think of any problems that would stem from getting really good… -

Half-Life 2: Lost Coast - Church Remake in UE4 - Post 2! (Which I now know is referred to as "Monastery") So: Half-Life 2: Lost Coast - Monastery Remake in UE4 - Post 2! So in the last post I had basically just started to block out the monastery with some custom meshes and BSPs within UE4. I also started listing things… -
Re: Hardsurface artists: The world famous Maya vs 3ds max conflict in a diffrent way...
Thanks for your insight. I have to say to my knowledge is not as quik to make a little spline shape like u have there, since in maya one would have to extrude a cylinder or like a spline circle along the the splines that make up the coil, which would add a couple of steps and probably bring some problems or hick-ups along… -
Re: [Portfolio] Sean VanGorder - Environment/Prop Artist
Very nice :) Performance/Loadtime I'd be a bit careful of having 1700xSomething .png images scaled down. You'd be better off just having 1000xSomething that has gone through the Save for Web function of photoshop to save performance and done in .jpg I'm on a really fast line and it still took me a while to see the whole…
