Hi, everyone This is my first project working with sculpting and game engine software. I have some very rudimentary knowledge of 3D rendering as an intermediate level user of Rhino3D and a novice user of Vray. I'm going with a cave scene to train, pick up general skills and hopefully find what part of the process I want to…
Each large structure will mostly likely have to have a couple maps from 512x512 to 1024x1024. But, I'm saving texture space where I can (i.e. window frames sharing same model and texture) I use a combination of ZBrush, Crazybump, and hand-painted height maps.

You make a fill layer for the grease, you mask it black, and then paint white to expose the…

I liked the godray shining onto the runestone to attract the eye a bit more and thought I could get some storytelling going there with the ravens having flown in to sit menacingly on our little runestone. - Moved around some pillars and…
I agree with what others have said, the only thing that actually costs anything when it comes to building an art portfolio is your time. yea substance is 15 bucks a month, but so is a trip to go see the new avengers movie. as in, the cost is so minimal i wouldnt really consider that a make or break it factor. the one thing…
