Re: Baking - Anistropy Maps - Pretty please, help me.
Haha, well, always useful to learn stuff I would say, and I like learning stuff :) Plus, I love technical stuff, usually its that 'need better technical graphics' stuff which bring aesthetics and style into play and makes them pop. Actually, funny note, your angel model is what inspired me to do some anisotropy test outs… -
Re: VR sub forum for tech talk
Resolution is good enough with first gen HMD (I've got a DK2 and I tried Vive as well - Not Oculus CV1 yet) that you forget about the pixels and just "feel there" when the experience has been designed for VR from the ground up. Many people out there have tried half-baked experiences or even horrible workarounds that… -
Re: Band of Brothers, explorative portfolio piece - wip
For starters, I recommend you to study facial and overall anatomy more. Some books about that wouldn't hurt. For a general anatomy, you won't find a better course than Scott Eaton's "Anatomy for Artists". It is incredible. Maybe take a look at some 3d scans, they are incredibly helpful in learning forms and how things… -
Re: High Poly Vehicle Concept
As packed as your UV template is, 1024 is still kind of small for a next-gen vehicle. The resulting texel density reads, appropriately, like a model made for UT2004. Given that you spent so much time on the the model, you really want to nail the textures. Be safe: work at 2048, and downsize if you need/want to later. I… -
Re: Learning High to Low Modeling method
Yeah, without knowing where to source online quality instructional material, growth generally grinds to a halt or becomes stilted. Anyways a few favourite bookmarks I'll link here, they're a mixed bag in terms of workflow and/or genre but commonality exists across the board in that they're professionally authored which… -
Re: Sketchbook: Squire

But for now, next head study. edit : 2nd pass. tweaking shit back n forth, more chin too. creeping away from the butch look? @oska, yeh i was finding it hard to keep it feminine as… -
Re: Raygun
Okay, so back in action again after a busy week. :poly142: I started to unwrap and bake a few parts yesterday. As I anticipated, I encountered some problems. As you can see from the high/low poly comparison, I adjusted the high-poly (slight slopes) so it would translate better onto the low-poly and to reduce my uv islands.… -
Re: Abandoned Swamp House Environment - [UE4]
Ok, I need some help here. Currently I think this tree is 'ok', I still want to shift things around on it but the gist is there. I am using three textures. One for the trunk base that is 1:1, one tiling bark texture for the top bark / branches and one for the leaves. I am currently concerned about the poly count. Right now… -
Re: Terrain - How I Hate Terrain...
Agreed tech doesn't seem to be your problem right now... How do I do terrain? One of 90 different ways. Which is the best for us? Haven't got a clue. I don't know enough about what you want to do. I can suggest my personal favorite and what has been easiest for me but if what you're doing is drastically different than what… -
Re: Old Mining Lantern
I took the liberty of doing a quick paintover showing the key areas your silhouette is lacking. Basically depending on where this would be seen now close you could get to it you should adjust your polycount based that. I assume this would sit in a table or hang from a hook BUT as this is a presentation piece low poly edges…
