Re: Questions about UV best practices in game development.
You are going to have a lot more than just this one thing in your game. For enviro art you are usually grouping props by material sets. So everything that is metal might go together, everything that is concrete might go together, etc. In my own work, usually the deciding factor is shader based. What I mean is, certain… -
Re: How much time you're given to switch to a different software?
usually atleast a couple weeks of ramp up time anytime I have started at a new studio. your first couple days are usually booked with meetings, syncing the tools and build etc and I mean most of the basic tools you used on a daily basis in 3d software, move scale rotate, bevel, chamfer, extrude etc are quick enough to… -
Re: Dressing for Game studio interviews.
Just going to repeat some things about the dress code thing, people will wear what ever they wear that day, there is certain periods of the year you have to attend interviews almost daily, and you are not gonna specifically prepare or dress up just for that interview, same for most bigger companies in all industries,… -
Re: How is it to work in the industry?
never had a problem with income or work hours - I consider myself lucky though. I usually work 8 to 9 hours a day with 1h lunch in-between. I rarely encountered overtime in the last 5 years. Never had to crunch in my career. Although I take interesting work home when I want to tinker around. I have never worked in a place… -
Re: Modding counts as portfolio?
Oh I just that I do most of the things when I mod , I first conceptualize the level or landscape in mind , then I create all Assets I think I will need , then build up the scene and if something that would fit better is needed I would usually do it later... But for fastening up time usually I accelerate a lot the making of… -
Re: Questions about the texel density
1. Yes across the same asset in the same UV channel. In general, blurry parts look bad next to sharp parts. Between different assets, same issue. If using multiple UV channels, the channels don't need to match density. 2. Lightmap will usually be larger texels than the texture maps, because you need more unique UVs to… -
Re: Finding a Programmer
I'm a programmer, and I've done freelance work in the past. A lot of your questions come down to negotiation with the programmer themselves. There's no hard and fast rule about how these things work - the only strict advice I can give is to get everything down on paper and 'official' before agreeing to start. Be as… -
Re: Mayweather/Mosley May 1st
Masterful performance. Floyd definitely put his money where his mouth is and has silenced most of his critics. For those who have missed it, Mosley landed a big right hand in the second round that seemed to have hurt Floyd. Floyd clinched and eventually recovered. Mosley was outboxed for the 10 remaining rounds with… -
Re: Arabian Street WIP
You want to enhance the visual effect of edges by highlighting it with a lighter color. Usually objects get wear on these places the most aswell While highpoly modeling gives edges with round corners which reflect light by the form already, you still want to enhance the effect with your texture to avoid a fake look. If you… -
Re: Low poly design priority for baking
Where is the tradeoff ? You did it right. Star Citizen ships are great example for this technique. There are 2-3 art dumps for them here on polycount, he is showing wireframes as well. This technique is usually used on vehicles, but it also works nicely on architecture. When there are a lot of edges intersecting, I usually…
