Re: [Portfolio] Ian Smith
first, fix your post. the link is wrong. -as for the content, i'd lose the characters altogether - they're not the strong point. -rework the cave scene A LOT if you want to include it. the ferns are very unnatural sticking straight out like that and there are major pixel density issues... and the water looks out of scale… -
Re: Texturing is my weakness
@ passerby yeah i figured it was too noisy, i look at it now and i can't really tell what's supposed to be rust , dirt , or scratches.Sadly i've been texturing like this for a while. in terms of scale are you saying that the detail is too large? because i notice that on my render the details look blurry and maybe a little… -
Re: Portfolio Critique Please - Di$array
I think you should change your title from "3D artist" to "3D Character Artist". Most studios don't want to hire a generalist. However if they did want to, your work mostly shows characters it would be hard to say that you would get that job. You should think about adding a favicon to your website, it makes it feel a bit… -
Re: Polycount newbie looking for honest feedback
Well for one it's not game-art. The modeling itself could help you when baking normalmaps, but this thing is not very useful towards becoming a game artist if it's just a software rendered highpoly model. It looks like you've got the flow and modeling down nicely though. Can't tell for sure without a wireframe, but sure… -
Re: Abduction - UDK scene
needs more probing! To add to what Unleashed said, my issues with the scene are: * blades of grass are really big and messing up the scaling * poses are stiff and odd * mix up the poses for the probing robot dudes * Main ground texture's pixel density is far off from the rest of the textures (it's blurry compared to the… -
Re: A Guide to weapon modeling for FPP games
Wow, this is great! The considerations about proportions, readability, etc. are nicely explained. One thing caught my eye. In section 8.1 you shrink the mirrored UVs down to 1 pixel, for the bake mesh. This is a bad way to work. You should simply offset them 1 unit on the U axis, like you show in step 7.5. This will bake… -
Re: Kekets world of guns - Feedback greatly welcomed.
Cool stuff :smile: I think your edges are way too hard. the perfect 90° angles kill the great texture work on the pistol and probably look very jaggy/pixelated from a distance, bevel the shit out of those edges before you bake, make them even softer then the reference so that your normal map reads better (and it will help… -
Re: Modular chain link fence WIP
First glace it looks great! Would love to see the modularity transfer over to your textures and unwraps. You seem to have a lot of uv 'islands' that can just be overlapped. This will improve your pixel density. Also when think about the chain link section, your wasting tons of space by having the links tile within the same… -
Re: specular mask in alpha channel
Bungie is weird that way. I almost took a contract doing props for Halo3 (would have had to quit my FT job for a 3mo contract yuck). I did their art test just for fun. Their texture requirements where funky. Dimensions: 10h x 10w Textures: 384x384 + 64x64 tiling detail metal texture Poly Count: 800 or less polys I got… -
Re: Unreal Engine 3 Questions.
Well for #1, you can easily scale up any object without any problem, but obviously unless you mapped it accordingly than the texture will scale, too. Watch out for your pixel ratio.... You might as well just scale it in your 3d package, remap it and reset Xform it before exporting. As for #2... I'm not sure what you mean…
