Re: In Need of Feedback on Medieval Weapons
Tldr; Add colors, stop & do other things come back later. "stuck on textures"i am getting more into colors lately & i feel this is very "one toned". Maybe this is why it may not be interesting enough or satisfying for you? I can say for me (outsider looking in) things do feel off for me also. Did a search term that might… -
Method to my Madness - A new breed of Timelapse
Hello fine folks of Polycount. I've decided to make an attempt to making timelapse videos interesting as well as informative. I wanted to make 3d timelapses enjoyable by other demographics, 'cause why not? Here I have prepared a prologue video. Enjoy. :) [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIa6v8K_fJM[/ame] -
Are we forgetting the art of optimization in 3D workflows?
As a 3D artist who's seen the evolution from low-poly game assets to RTX- powered photorealism, I’ve observed a growing gap between generations of artists. Today, I’ve shared an article exploring this shift where optimization meets high-quality production, and why smart planning matters more than ever. Whether you're… -
Photoshop Breaking Normal maps
I've been having some trouble with normal maps in Photoshop. Whenever I open a baked normal map in Photoshop and modify it (add details etc.) and save it, the normal map no longer works properly in Max (Xoliul shader). In this test image I baked the normal map and applied it to the first object. For the second object I… -
Re: Da Dawg Bowl - New Generator Library Release for Substance Designer
Your thought process does indeed make more sense now that you lay it out like that. Essentially, the first write up was a broad overview of the technicalities that need to be worked out in rendering, and the forthcoming articles will break this down into smaller chunks? That sounds good, but also stands a chance of killing… -
Breaking out of the CSGO workshop
The Items section for CSGO has been out for roughly 2 months and already it has double to amount of submissions of Team Fortress 2. That is because of how easy it is to create your own skins and upload them, even if its just a quick recolor. I've had a few goes at it, and while I'm not the best texture artist in town, I'm… -
Modular Buildings - how much to break apart?
Hello, just wondering what you guys think should be the cutting points for modular pieces. I was thinking, each floor(duh), but also cutting each floor into 4 sides. I was considering this because of occlusion culling. The player won't be able to see all sides of a building at one time in most games. Plus, if it has equal… -
Re: Max to Knald to Marmoset - Displacement breaks/seams
Toolbag has an issue with displacement maps and UV seams, areas around UV seams tend to create breaks in the geometry. There is no solution for this currently. This tutorial is old (for TB1) but covers the basics of displacement mapping: http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/displacement -
Issue with crouch breaking my anim blueprint.
You can see when I hit the crouch key it is raising my character up off the ground.. Not sure why it is doing this. For some reason the animations are lifted off of the Y axis in UE4 when I look at them in Maya they are at zero.. but this is true for all of the animations (idle, run, jump) and they still start at zero in… -
How to reduce number of polygon without breaking form?
Hello, people. I am trying to create a simple missile launcher which is cube shape. Reference: As you see, it has a lot of holes that will generate a lot of edges. This is what I did so far. since I create holes for missile (blue cylinder), the entire box has extra edges and faces. Is there any methods or skill to reduce…
