Re: The Pillars of Illustration
I guess this is highly dependent of you actual workflow and painting style. I'm pushing myself more to do material definitions and texture indication at the same time as form. Trying to go for the stuff that gets the painting to look finished before refining stuff that may or may not matter that much in the end. That means… -
Re: Zbrush tiling texture seam
What i do is a bit clunky but it works. Make your tilable base mesh, add surface noise, export the mesh and render out a displacement map, open it in PS, use offset and paint over the seams. Then save your displacement map (16bit is best), import your base mesh were you started sculpting your tileable, subdivide it up to… -
Re: Help with baking process
Basically, you want hard edges and separated UVs in these places that is hard surface. this will get rid of the ugly gradients that appear and it will also give you the "crispness" that you speak of. The stretched areas are happening because the difference between the high and low poly is too big. I wouldn't sculpt the… -
Re: GhostChili's Improvement Thread
Thank you so much, Nickcomeau, for taking the time to review my work and critique it. I attempted to address some of the issues that you noted. (The heels are adjusted, just not indicated by a "<") And I really appreciate you suggesting L'Ecorche, it looks amazing! Hopefully they have a Droid version @ _ @;; There's still… -
Re: Trying to make character from concept
Pick something simpler, that concept is complicated and quite detailed, if you are starting out and still trying to figure out your pipeline, a concept like that is only going to hurt you. Everyone chooses cool looking but very complex concepts to try to make and it almost always bites them in the ass (myself very much… -
Re: (Solved) Terrible normal map shading errors inside UE4, expert advice desperately needed.
The mesh itself, with albedo and AO maps, shades accurately enough for a ~200 triangle smoothed angled rock. You can see some of those same rocks with the default UE checkerboard texture in the background on that GIF in the OP. Import settings, but I've tried them all: Does it still "shadow against the sun" if you rotate… -
Re: Druid Village Group Project
Hi P4. Congrats on finishing the scene, I can see you put a lot of work into it. I'd like you to consider the attached chart in regards to your vegetation and underbrush placement. As it stands now, your level is missing "connective tissue". The transitions from one texture/object set to another is too stark. You should… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Bryan Shannon, Environment Art
I am currently working on preproduction for an upcoming project that will take me approximately 1 year to complete. To give you an idea of the calibur I am trying to achieve... I am really looking forward to hitting the mark somewhere in between the "samaritan demo" & "hydzior's nazi bunnies". While this production will… -
Re: Sketchbook: Jos
I´ll be using this character as the means to learn more, already made a post about it on the P&P section, but now any updates will be placed here. Been updating several thingys :* divided the saddle into 3 layers , added 2 strapping belts with metal holders for the wooden soap container, and a lower belly strap * Small… -
Re: Substance Painter, normal map errors when baking with multiple meshes together
If you have one model and you want to bake by name then you have to break the model up. You export the separate elements as one fbx (for example). Each element has its own uvs and if named properly they import into substance as separate texture sets. If you are strapped for texture space you can handle the model as a…
