I've been messing with different ways of doing this over the last few days and got great results (thanks for input from EQ as well), but I never went as far as the guys from EVE Online went. They created some rather nifty shader stuff which went well above what I was doing.…
Hey Guys. Before anything- I am not complaining or ranting. I want to open up my personal experiences in working with 3D Freelance work and I want to ask how people have dealt/gone through it. This has been a general observation with 3D contract work I get to do and I want to know how people have manged to solve it. Most…

I have changed my plans with this project and will not be making a skin system in UE5 as it would take too much time to both learn and make. Instead, I have decided to create a sort of "modular kit" with different variation of weapon parts. Only proper texturing and normal map skewing have to be handled before this is…

I learned a lot, especially having to learn every 3D program from scratch, as well as all the technical hurdles and modeling/texturing pipeline. As a…
The "problem" simply is that there is "no make it so"-button on any computer.. expect one does choose to use some AI.. trained on the data of knowledge which dozen and dozen of artists did accomplished over years.. but then finally one does not have to hire an artist do do so. Humankind evolved a lot when people started to…
I have yet another contest to distract you from your little farm in Facebook. This one is something you're probably spend a few hours doodling int he margins of your math book; Design a Starship for the online universe of Eve Online. I'll save you the cut and paste of their rules but their prizes are definitely sweet. The…
But see, that makes no sense. In your mind you were "past the barrel thing" and were focused on something else. Yet that barrel part clearly had bad shading, some error on the inside, and that awkward seam setup at the cap that makes things worse. Why move on to something else if that is not fixed first and foremost ? And,…
