Re: Beach house.
Like everyone else I think this is good. Here's some comments though cause I like to practice. First image.. I doubt you'll see it like this in-game so you shouldn't care about this crit but the roof has this repeating pattern with a dark spot. Doesn't matter much though cause you'll prolly never see the roof unless you… -
Re: Soldier - Realtime Normal Mapped Char
If you are using max you can get a plugin called Advanced Painter from Scriptspot.com. This allows you to pick seperate object such as a bolt and use that as a brush. Then you select the model you want to 'paint' bolts on, select advanced painter, select scaterer or randomizer, select the bolt as your object to paint with… -
Re: pimp your oldest stuff
Hahaha, first 3d Model (by myself, I was doing shit/editing with milkshape before this however). Skinned before the model was UV mapped (I was confused). Still quite proud of him. As you can see dated 7/7/01 making me 13. My first skin (none edited, again I was editing before with The Sims) and again, skinned before the… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | November - December (69)
Thanks for the heads up @teodar23 and @Pinkfox, its a completely new technique for me so any advice is of much help. I've experimented a little with UVs, tessellation and Unreal in general over the weekend. I set up a simple UV random offset material for some test pillars and a test tiling texture. Results are good, decent… -
Re: Affinity Photo, the better Photoshop?
We ditched Photoshop and went firmwide to Affinity products. 2 months later, we went back to Adobe. Affinity is great at certain aspects, but their support is terrible. If there is a bug or a feature, their response is usually "It will be done when it gets done" and that just didn't cut it for us who purchased over 2,000… -
Re: Maya -- Avoid sluggishness when many overlap UV shells are open in UV editor?
No slowdown here, it was instant when I had everything selected and opened the UV editor (panel or window). Moving all the points around is uncomfortable, but not terrible*. i7 4790k just for reference. I poked around the scene in maya and np++, I don't see anything out of the ordinary; just a plain old clean scene. * I… -
Re: Tiling textures and modular rectangular models: Major seam issues!
I don't think you need expensive shaders rendering a model 3 times, or extra geometry to hide the seam unless you are REALLY married to the brick pattern? It seems like the way the bricks are stacked/bonded, that they aren't going to tile well. Make your life easier and switch the bond to something simple like "running… -
Re: [Portfolio] Steffen Kist, Environment Artist
I feel that bar on the left is a bit random... I am not really liking how it is cutting through the thumbs. Edit: I just realized that it is because you designed your website at 1920 width. Shrink your browser and watch what happens. The gray bar you have on the sides get pushed into your content in the center. Keep in… -
Re: GamePress Greatest Game Competition
a) That's only five weeks away. b) That's not really much of a prize for the theoretical work involved. c) The product website is terrible; poor layout with absolutely no information whatsoever. The reasons for this are manifold; there's no navigation (there's nothing to navigate to), and whilst the 1 1/2 minute youtube… -
Re: Importance of Confidence
that's a novel. Very simply, I believe confidence is a perfectly natural state of being. So you find what is detracting from the confidence and figure out how to deal with it. You do this simply by experimentation. Same as anything else. Try some random idea. Does it help or not? If it does, keep it. If not, move on with…
