Re: Imagining the Final Image.
Hmm, interesting. I'd like to hear just how detailed others' imagined scenes are. Mine are sort of collage-like, so when it comes to attempting to replicate something imagined, it's more of a freeform process (since I am not as skilled at drawing as I'd like to be). There really is nothing I can think of that I've ever… -
Re: How Not to Be Professional
Overhaul: Baldur's Gate Enhanced Fluik: ios games xgen: casual games pixelstorm: hidden object games Bioware is looking for local people right now for QA. These studios would hire artists on occassion. Tip is...you have to check their twitter or site job section on a regular basis. There also Gauge, but I don't know if… -
Re: Disney Overcoat 3D Painting
Hmm, (this is based upon UDK, but the same idea should apply to other stuff more or less if they allow it) the closest think I can think of is using the a Fresnel alongside a mask in your materials opacity slot. Also, offseting that Fresnel/mask with a Bump/Parallax function should do the trick. I'll post up a quick image… -
Re: "KoddeShader", a Maya CGFX shader
Wow this shader is exactly what I have been looking for. THANKS Kodde!!! I started using it with the basic diffuse, normal, disp, and spec maps with pure success. Using just these alone yields a 4x improvement to the maya viewport! Not having to leave maya and being able to author assets in less apps is always a plus. I'll… -
Re: Crash courses on modo?
No problem. I do use it, though I haven't been using it long. Started with it around the beginning of this year. Its been great for the most part. Best modeling tools I have found so far, the UV editor makes it an insanely quick process and the retopology tools are great. Everything you need for the most part exist in one… -
Re: How to know whether you really enjoy doing it or if you are just forcing yourself to do 3d
well, if they don't have an alternative plan, after investing 2 years into something it would seem like foolishness to quit just because they are having a bad week or month. There is ups and downs in any aspect of life. If you don't commit, you'll flounder, bounce around, and never get anywhere. It's one thing if you get… -
Re: (UE4) Handpainted, Overwatch-Inspired Japanese House Scene... thing
Aw, thanks for the lovely comments, all! I've had a few messages asking about the water material, so I thought I'd post a pic of my basic shader graph for the main effect. https://s31.postimg.org/624p91v7d/Basic_Water_Shader_Graph.jpg To be honest, real-time rendering of water and refraction effects are one of my favourite… -
Re: Environment Stuff - Pagan Monolith + more when it's done
For something this big, its totally fine to bevel the edge in the mesh. however, this is something ive been seeing so much with peoples assets in unreal. use proper vertex normals. nobody thinks of this anymore and all I see are objects that are rounded all over. it looks wrong and nobody says anything about it. its not… -
Re: male character modelling, with penis or without ?
I don't understand what your end goal is. Is it for a game? Is the penis required? Can it be detached? Etc. If you're making 'certain movements' in the pants, then you most likely will have to add extra bones to your rig so you can get the penis on a handle and move it around, you might also want set up some morph targets… -
Re: PBR UE4: Do I have to use a Metalness Map in UE4?
You can not use a specular map like you can in Marmoset Toolbag. The specular input in UE4 isn't what it seems, what it actually does is act as a multiplier for non-metals, its basically a cavity map. How the metalness map works is, for metals (white in metalness map) the specular intensity/color (reflectivity) is pulled…
