Re: Corey Hill Portfolio: Looking for as much feedback as possible!
Your prop placement and the sheer amount of objects is great in every scene. I think one major critique across all of the pieces is the lack of individual quality. There's a lot of tiling textures with uniform grunge that doesn't really send these to that next level. I can go into each one and my eyes immediately catch a… -
Re: Cel Shading
Shader Forge's outline node is good for visualization and a very standard outline effect, but I wouldn't use it for final production. SF's node suffers from: * Broken outline based on uv seams. A simple fix by having the shader read from a secondary uv channel where the entire model is planar mapped, but the SF node… -
Re: Image Heavy-Textures, props, and Personal - First Post (sorta)
[FONT="] You'll run into this from time to time. I believe this could be attributed to a few things. Sometimes your diffuse has subtle (but noticeable by crazybump) variations in pixel tones. Try the following: 1. Before filtering through Crazybump, try slightly blurring the image in photoshop or manually by hand in… -
Re: Normal mapping hard edges problem
Pure hard edge doesn't really exist when come hi poly work.... it's always done with a very tiny Bevel getting a better render. 90 degre angle are not so friendly with normal map... sometimes work but... You can use hard edges on Crystal, but on another object if you add a very very tiny bevel it will make your object more… -
Re: Space Ships fleet
awesome job. Nicely textured and modeled. Here's my honest critque. 80k poly would be too much for a game like starcraft but somewhat okay for a fps space shooter game due to the large vehicle scale in a flight sim. Although I think you can do better on your poly count and only use what's needed. Baking some high res would… -
Re: [Portfolio] Casey Addler - Character art wannabe
Rendering! At the end of the day it's all about the pixels on the screen. That's all that matters to the viewer. Bad lighting and shaders/textures can ruin what was a good or even great model. 1: Images in your portfolio should never have aliasing unless it's an in engine shot. 2: lighting, Get your stuff into 3ds max and… -
Re: Environments of "The Unknown" - a TPP action/adventure Crysis modification
Hey guys. I'm still trying to project my details correctly, but I keep running into strange errors. Whenever I import my highpoly mesh it is not in exactly the same position as my unified skin-one. It always gets imported a few pixels to the right and for that reason only one side of my unified skin receives the details. I… -
Re: Environment Art Beginner Questions
Took your fbx and quickly adjusted your high res mesh and your low res uv's, adjusting smoothing groups afterwards. What I did notice is that your high res mesh doesn't have smooth edges to really exaggerate the effects of baking down to a normal map. Thus resulting in little to no effect on the normal map itself, remember… -
Re: [WIP] Low-poly street cleaning vehicle
Thanks to everybody for the replies. @Snader: These are some very good observations, thanks a lot! I was able to reduce the poly-count on the broom-handles and I also improved the alarm-light. As for the tires: Since they don't have a very bright texture there, I think I can go ahead and fake the bevel with a highlight in… -
Re: Under the dome
I would teak the lighting some more, try to fake this Global Illumination as much as possible...it's a bit too dark and there is too much contrast IMO. I would change the environment color as well to get a warmer tone. The texture of your pillar is odd and too low res, if not try to add a details normal map on top of it,…
