Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Game art optimisation (do polygon counts really matter?)
[ QUOTE ] A mesh is pretty much free for the 1st 600 polys, beyond that its cost can be reduced dramatically by using lightmaps for generating self shadowing and so on rather than vertex lighting. [/ QUOTE ] do you mean a unique prebaked AO map?. In theory if you use a second UV for unique map, thats 2 shorts = 4 bytes,… -
Re: First model textured in substance painter -- Guidance well appreciated!
Pretty good so far. It could use a rim light and an image-based-lighting sphere to get some reflections and show off what you have done with the roughness layer. Right now it's hard to tell if there is even much of a roughness layer. Also that T-junction where the beam that's holding up the globe meets the table's ring… -
Re: How long should I spend on one model?
The simple truth is - if you can't create something in production quality without a time limit you don't have to worry about making it into the industry as you are no where near skill/knowledgewise. Once you reach that level time becomes less of a factor because there is no magic involved. It takes far longer to learn to… -
Re: Warhammer Orc WOoo

Re: Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2-Texture & Shaders!
Thanks Lt_Commader! I appreciate your consideration of the texture work because people tend to "simplify" or undervalue the textures ...for me, some meshes wich are totally "a mess" or very poor in details(if you know what I mean) can improve thousand times with a very good texture or vice versa, If you have a really… -
Re: limit your job hunt to AAA at your own risk
If someone is both jobless and looking only at AAA studios, then they are suffering from something different than general disdain for the little guy. Its probably a quality-of-work issue. Look at your art and evaluate how it compares to the companies you are applying to, if its not going to knock the socks off the people… -

Re: [Riot art contest] Beyond the screen
Reply by Skyerzz · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - IllustrationHey, Good progress on this, I really hope you get it done. I'm also happy that you find my comments helpful. So about this screen stuff. I agree that it needs to be altered from a plan white rectangle. I think adding a glow to soften the hard edges of the screen is one place to start. Added some magical wisps coming outta… -
Re: Need help with rating and feedback. :) Thank you. :)
+1 for what Brian said. I completed the survey, but I agree in that it's better to show the work you want feedback on immediately. Was the Google survey format absolutely required for this project, or do you just need to gather feedback? If you just need feedback, you'd be better off to post the videos (or even make them… -
Re: The mask of Owloocucu (Character and weapon project)
Heyhey. It's evening so I have time to write up some thoughts. I think you ought to reconsider how youre lighting this. It looks like theres an intense blue spotlight shining on your staff and its washing out the colors of your texture. If youre keen on using the base as a spotlight, you should make it fall off faster…
