Side note: It appears it hasnt died completely after all. There's news of new development... but it might have come a tad too late, at least with the tarnished reputation. Theres always demand for good modeling apps. http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=175&t=1166786&page=1&pp=15 There are a few. The video tuts are…
Another question regarding the metallic - roughness workflow: In this chart http://blogs.unity3d.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/UnityMetallicChart.png it says under Metallic R "this value will always be greyscale" but contrary to this statement the guys from Allegorithmic say that the metallic map should be only black and…
thanks everyone ! :D @ErichWK I'll try too post some timelaspe to show my process (both for tileable texture & rocks alone) and for my diffuse too. I use mostly trim dynamic & trim smooth border (customized a bit) with some alphas, some clay brushes (with alpha again) I also use a custom insert mesh brush to add some small…
As per my previous post up there, this approach is specific to this employer and perhaps does extend to other outsourcing firms.

Don't feel like it's too late, else you'll end up having to work in your crappy job for the next 35 working years. 30 is the new 20…

Anyway you can either view it on my website or view it…
If you save money in cheaper components, you can put a 660 ti OC or a 670, but it must have the cooling system of the pny i posted (due to the case). You can save a lot with the cpu, mobo and psu and ssd. I put the samsung ssd cuz is one of the best. Another thing is that i put the z77 platform for the latest i5/i7. A…
Thanks for the feedback and links to various reference images and tutorials. I went back, re-did the whole model and all the textures. Here are the results of the updated version. This is simply rendered in 3DS Max, and will eventually render it in UDK once I'm completely satisfied with the asset, and ready to show it off.…
