Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge August 2014 (22)
Its actually the addition of the props thats drawn me back in, think I've been trying to take too much on on top of work that not finishing the environments on time was putting me off. Loving the choice this month, been a nice test! Heres a beautifully low quality screenshot, currently finishing off the high poly. I've… -
Re: WIP - Large flower pot
IMM's will keep their UVs if you add a texture to them. I used nanomesh and substance designer to make my hedges and I ran into the same issue. At first I was hoping that I could nanomesh full branches around, but the polycount would skyrocket and I wasn't even close to the look I wanted. So I used cones with multiple… -
Re: Particles - Unity Engine
I agree. Both systems are equally capable, but they start you off in a different way. I prefer to start off with the simplest particle system and build from there if necessary. There's definitely a time and place for advanced materials, but you don't send an F-16 to kill your neighbour's dog. I use the free version of… -
Re: BBC Panorama - Are Videogames Addictive? (Tonight @20:30GMT)
I do, my brother "suffers" from it, but in my personal opinion, he suffers from being a dumbass more. He's on medication for it, and talks about it very seriously. I think it's BS and I make sure he knows it, and yeah you're right, it pisses him off like nothing else. But, the truth hurts. I constantly challenge him to… -
Re: Crystel's Chimeras
Hey guys! I'd been wanting to have something I could offer people at a lower price and to practice molding/casting off of, so Jeremy suggested I make baby versions of the existing chimeras :) I did a few sketches to get an idea of where I wanted to head with this I had a vote on my facebook art page on three designs I… -
Re: Ergonomics for animators
I started getting pain in my hands a few years back. Here's a couple of things that have helped greatly: -switched from mouse to pen -changed from hotkeys to marking menus (swiping instead of clicking) -changed my primary hotkey from 'ctrl+t' to 'd', meaning the tendons in my hand no longer have to stretch hundreds of… -
Re: FAILED: Art Test!
it looks like you've grabbed some of the textures straight from the reference image too - just cutting out the photo and sticking it on a poly doesnt really show off any texturing skill. it's probably pretty low res if you get up close to it and it'll have shadow detail etc. in it that you probably dont want. there's a… -
Re: knife needs texturin crit + tips
Zac beat me to it, nice article btw. But yeah, for any kind of material properties that play off the lighting you want it to be strong in your spec and only hinted at in your diffuse. Same with the sharp edge, the diffuse should be a dark grey and the spec should be almost pure white. While texturing with xoliul's i… -
Re: Handpainted Environment [UE4]
Ah Goldshire, the place we'd all just afk in and start dancing away! xD On a serious note, you've got off to a great start! It's noticeable from the off that it's Goldshire Inn. I do feel the lighting and overall warmth of the scene needs to be upped, especially if you want to replicate the general theme of Goldshire. Look… -
Re: Mech - Uni/Folio Project - Montu - Falcon Class Scout
Blocked in the basics of the glove (its only gonna be on one side) and just working through the remaining pieces that need a retop. Making progress now. The LP should be a simple matter from here. I'm so excited for the high detail pass and the organics. Got some panelling designs ready for the cockpit walls too for some…
