Re: Want to make an easy $500 ??
I don't know who made that model but it doesn't take much to make it nice provided you give it to someone that can do the job right. ScoobyDoofus is right on about remaking the textures. They are pretty simple to make from scratch as well. By the way the head needs more polys around the face to deform properly. feel free… -
Re: How long did it take you to get good?
Everyones replies to this are confirming my thoughts about how important never ending progression is But they are also confirming how long I thought it would take between deciding to become a video game artist and getting a job in the industry. Thanks for all the great replies guys. - I decided about 2 years ago that I was… -
Making decent skin with Max's standard material?
Hey guys, a friend of mine needs to make a character that has at least decent skin but only using Max's standard material. Since I've basically never had to do any pre-rendered work in my career, I'm not even quite sure there are any tricks he can use. Does anyone know of any tricks or tutorials on how you can fake a good… -
Hadley's Hope (Aliens Based UT Map)
I have been working on a small Aliens based unreal tournament 1v1 map and its almost complete i would like to send out an alpha version of the map first though just to make sure everything is working properly but I really cant wrap my head around unreal's build process / content submission system or even epics forum for… -
Re: Photoshop - PixelB Game Maps and PixelB Normal Tools - extensions for painting game textures
No it's not a pluing. Adobe made "material" panel few years ago where you could load sbsar. it reads a layer as rgba input. Makes it into smart object and put live sbsar processing on top of it. So far I use height to normal map ,height to smooth curvature and height to AO "materials" It works best if you document follows… -
physical based shader questions
So I have been looking into these physical based shaders, but I am running into some problems. I don't have a lot of experience with shaders, so some of my questions will probably be very basic/stupid. but because there aren't actualy shaders out there for download (except the maya one by Kodde), but that one doesn't work… -
Re: Color Dodge - how to make a similiar effect to photoshop?
You take a look at Photoshop blend mode math? Link From the hlsl code: define BlendColorDodgef(base, blend) ((blend == 1.0) ? blend : min(base / (1.0 - blend), 1.0)) -
Re: Official handplane support thread - Now freeware!!
The locking normals thing is important if you're baking in Maya, as like Alec said, if you have a lowpoly mesh that is a mix of quads/tris/ngons, and bake from that, and then triangulate your mesh normals change and that will cause smoothing errors. So you can triangulate before baking, or your can lock normals after… -
Re: Crafted Tomahawk [UE4-WIP]
Yeah high poly rope looks amazing, have you considered making just a small straight piece and baking a tileable texture out of it? Seeing as you're adding the rope as geometry that would be easier and save texture space. On the stone part I agree that it looks a bit too detailed and repetitive, maybe try using some smaller… -
Re: Stylized Environment Art--Feedback Please
That's looking awesome! The Y cracks still seem a little weird, maybe try making them just a single crack and see if it looks better. I've started avoiding Y cracks in some cases in my own work because they are pretty distinctive. I think baking in a little more lighting info would push it a little more towards the…
