Re: Settled in Toronto
Hey there Indianboy, its good that you're asking these questions and really thinking about the future and what you want to do. I kinda just stumbled through high school and college not knowing exactly what I wanted to be. If you're serious about getting into this business then I'd say a good foundation would be in either… -
Re: Is being a successful 3d artist a loophole?
[ QUOTE ] So I spent the weekend in San Fran with an entire wearhouse full of insanely tallented artists. It was unbelievable some of these kid's (literally) sketchbooks and the level of composition, form, design, color choices, and surface detail that was put into their characters and environments. It put my stuff to… -
Re: GamePress Greatest Game Competition
Thanks for the feedback.. But we're a small team of 3 and there is only so much we can focus on. Our time and efforts went into the application. That bug listed in the blog has already been fixed in the current version of the app store. I understand that Polycount is a 3D community, but there are a lot of people who do 2D… -
Re: What software is needed for a complete 3D modelling work-flow?
You can use a single modelling tool/package to cover the complete 3d modelling work-flow, but to speed up things, you often incoperate specialised tools. I doubt, that it would be the best idea to start with all potentially useful tools. As it seems you want to start with environment art, it would be a good idea to start… -
Re: [FOLIAGE] ~ My fourth attempt at making trees, I'd use some critique and advice...
Yeah, most probably I could've spared this model a few bends, especially close to the extremities and even more for the higher branches. It takes around 5k tris, but I think it could've worked just as well with 4-4.5k. I kind of followed your advice to not care too much about the polycount and just go for accuracy. The… -
Re: A beginner's WIP thread
Thank you for the replies, I changed the vents to a plane as advised and did a quick unwrap. I might change it, because I think the vents have too little texture space. What do you think? @Baddcog: I'm aware that I shoud count the tris, not the polys, but blender displays polycount, not tri count, although there must be a… -
Re: Portfolio Punishment
Don't give up man, it's tough out there. I'm outta work too and I've been doing this for 14 years. Only way your going to get on at some place is to have a portfolio that dazzles, or you have a skillset in a particular area they are lacking. Studios are hiring more and more around specialized individuals. You rarely are in… -
Re: Marmoset Baking Cage Issues (With Solution)
So I've come across a solution for this issue. I'm currently working on a big project, I'm halfway through bake testing all of my objects and already have a total of close to 15 objects that have this cage intersecting issue. 1. The solution is pretty simple, create a clone of your lowpoly, use this normal backup script… -
Re: The Traub
Joltya your high poly looks very good but I think you can afford to spend quite some more triangles in the wheels of your low poly so it will bake better. If the purpose of this bike is to shine in your folio, as other users have stated, limiting yourself on triangle budget isn't as usefull as you may think. People that… -
Re: [Xnormal] Ray projection settings/issue?
Thank you ZacD! That leads me to two more questions. The first one being: Is it very important for the cage to match the shape/polycount of the low poly mesh, or can I just envelope the whole thing in one large subdivided cube/sphere to catch as much detail as I can? And the second one: I'm baking several completely…
