Re: Using Marmoset vs UE4 for portfolio work?
Marmoset is the easy way definitely. Marmoset is very valuable if you are less experienced with engines, shaders and rendering, as its literally a "make art" button, just turning about everything nice in terms of rendering. If you have to get a job soon and do not have time to dig into complicated rendering stuff, I would… -
Re: Tiling and AO
This looks like a realtime solution for radiosity/AO, and no mainstream engines can do this well that I know of. Even in the examples, they are only getting 15 fps for a single static object in a very simple environment. Throw in 24 characters running around calling dozens of animations, add in several dozen weapons each… -
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: technical highpoly workflow tutorial and scripts..
Ror: Yeah, heh, I usually use 2 iterations maximum, I just wanted that one to be really sharp and smooth StrangeFate: The way this works in Max is, you can still edit the control mesh, even if you're viewing the smoothed (SubD) version... however this is usually pretty slow since there's a lot of polys in the scene on… -
Re: Necro
[ QUOTE ] I'm not following with the green normal channel because I don't know what it's supposed to look like normally. Perhaps a screenshot of the channel would help with pointing it out [/ QUOTE ] Just use swizzle "X+Y-Z+" in the xNormal 3d viewer slot, that will invert your green channel automatically, Then grab a… -
Re: How to unwrap a VERY HIGH-POLY ONLY model in Maya 2020? Help me please, I wanna die...
yeah i dont know much about the film pipeline, but i have been working with some character rigs for visual novel. At first I thought, fuck it there is no real restriction because of realtime renderer, I'll just go crazy with poly count and not worry. But when it comes to rigging and animation there is still good reason to… -
Re: [Instant Terra] the high-performance terrain creation tool
Hi Alex, Tile export is supported by all the versions. Tile import is only in the Instant Terra Pro edition: https://www.wysilab.com/OnLineDocumentation/index.html?page=Nodes%2FNodes_Import_TerrainFromSeveralFiles.html Is that what you were talking about? Key benefits over World Machine? Well we strongly built the bases… -
Re: The Monthly CHARACTER Challenge | October 2014 | the Soothsayer
Here are some colour passes from me. Hmm its really top to see everyone still going with this. I put that down to the general tenacity and the marvelous character design :) I saw I had to comment on at least one post and being the new guy will give it a go. @neanderland I dont know about UE4 but UDK has the most incredible… -
Re: I am thinking quit been a 3d artist, need advice!!!
You gotta work it out for yourself man, The only difference between a Jr and Mid level artist in a lot of places is title and time spent working at the company, they expect you to hit the ground running and deliver work that will go into the project without needing feedback. There are few places who are willing to train up… -
Re: Predictions for future workflows and technologies
That goes without saying, but I specifically mentioned a time limit for the lifespan of the next-gen consoles, what kind of advancement can we look forward to with tools (to make easier and less shoddy normals for example) and what will newer engines allow us to do? Rage's megatextures do change your workflow at least to…
