I made a highly detailed model of Eiffel Tower, need criticism
This is my very first highly detailed model of Eiffel tower. Made in Maya and rendered in Arnold. I am looking for criticism and what you guys think of it. Here is a light AO pass: Here is a link to my Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/9dGkQ -
Re: Environment Art Beginner Questions
Ideally your layers should look like this: | | | Lowpoly - highpoly - cage You're casting rays from the lowpoly surface to the highpoly surface. when the ray gets a hit it will render that hit. The cage is just there to help you control the length and direction of those rays. generally you'll duplicate your lowpoly and… -
Re: Speed
I dunno Peris, I agree with your point, but looking at that generator it really doesn't seem like it'd take long to throw together a fine highpoly. A bunch of boxes to block it out, bevel some edges, use a few splines extracted from primitives to do the fancy tube/pipe work, instance a bunch of bolts, vents and switches… -
Re: UE3 asset workflow...
i agree with ae. Get a mockup of your lowpoly as good as possible first so you know it will work for gameplay and the uv's are laid out perfectly, often so they can be reused in various configurations. It's very important to plan this out perfectly, it will save you alot of time in the end if you have highly optimised… -
[Rev Share] Looking for 3D Artists and Level Designers
Greetings Polycount. We are currently working on a yet to be announced multiplayer co-op zombie survival FPS on Unreal Engine 4 and we are looking for more artists. Our focus for this game is to create an authentic feeling experience based on the slow shambler style zombies that can be seen in movies such as Romero’s of… -
Re: Dota 2 - Technical Thread
@Taumich - It is dependent on what kind of item it is and how any given artist is most comfortable working. Organic shapes are actually a pain in the arse to do in 3dsmax or Maya compared to Zbrush - more hard surface shapes tend to get a base mesh first more often, but artists with the skillset in Zbrush can make them… -
Re: Baking Issue (Again)
Alright, so two things: A. This is the bare min. amount of geometry you can add to fix the issue. There is still a slight amount of waviness here, but really it shouldn't ever be a problem. B. You can actually do a lot with your highpoly mesh to help the issue too. For this section of your mesh, there really isn't any… -
Re: [HELP!] Maya Boolean to Zbrush Dynamesh Workflow
Oh Sorry, i just saw the video and your last few words, so i thought this is it what youre searching for ^^ Anyways... Why Retopo my friend? Create the HighPoly/LowPoly BaseMesh inside of Maya. Im always doin it this way that my BaseMesh in Max looks perfectly fine with TurboSmooth. I can tell you how im doin it: 1.… -
Re: 3ds Max - Substance Painter - Marmoset Toolbag normal map on metal surface
Here's the root of the problem as far as I can tell. Here's your geometry, simplified to 2d, in black. Your highpoly is in navy blue. The view vector, V, in green represents the direction that the camera is looking. R1 is the reflection vector that you get from the cube if it's not normal mapped and has hard edges there.… -
[Hobby] 3D Hard Surface Artist Needed – Hard Sci-Fi Space Combat (Godot 4)
(Photos courtesy of Gemini) The PitchI'm a solo dev building Iron Wake, a 1v1 hard sci-fi capital ship combat game in Godot 4.x. The core gameplay loop, UI, and Newtonian physics are already coded in and playable using programmer-art greyboxes.I need a hard surface artist to step in and replace those greyboxes so I can…
