Re: Are Floating Edges Bad in-game?
I get that it is a sloppy way to model, and I almost always avoid ngons when I can, but for all the people saying it is an easy fix to make it quads/tris, that isn't always the case. Once you have to create damage variations of 30 trims during crunch time, you quickly realize that it isn't worth the time and effort to make… -
Re: I could use some good links to videos to help me update my modeling and Unreal skills. And some Q's.
Sorry for my late reply. Had a minor operation and a "procedure" last week. :( What am I looking for? Such a good question. I'm interested in environmental and object modeling in 3DS Max. I need to learn the new material editor, I'm sure there are lots of videos on that, but interface changes, Unreal Editor 4 I learned 3,… -
Re: Boba Fett Helmet (PBR Practice)
id definitely say its all of the maps. i wouldnt really think of it though as needing to edit your diffuse,spec and gloss.. just think of it as you need to edit the material. like i said, the values are irrelevant really.. its about the application. the chipped paint clearly looks like it was done with random brush… -
[Feedback] Golden Revolver
Hey, I would love some feedback on the textures for this game-ready golden revolver: are the color values correct, is the roughness variation good, are the smudges reasonable, should the wood be worked on more etc. The story I want to apply is that all of the weapon's metal pieces are gold plated and the metal's original… -
Re: The Ramifications of not learning Sculpting Programs?
Well, I used to be a lead, but right now I'm a senior character artist. You would use it to sculpt things like terrain, rocks, vines, craters, damage, etc. Making environments / props / guns is much more than just hard surface modeling. Say you have something similar to the leaked Doom 4 environments. Something like a… -
Re: Blaisoid's sci-fi gun(s)
I wouldn't necessarily it isn't good, but there's a lot of haphazard detail. Most of the damage done to the gun seems to be thrown around without a real reason why it'd be there. Try thinking how the gun would be used: The grip would have discoloration marks on the rubber/plastic from being held, the edges of the white… -
Re: Sketchbook: wrangler249
Hah, glad you finally started one. The texture looks better, but here's a few things you might want to change - Damage still looks too uniform. The bricks underneath are too clean. Damaged concrete should leave a lot of bumps and splotches. A bit like here: I think it might be worth choosing a different source for the… -
Re: MechWarrior Online
Kinda have to agree. Hawken is Unreal with a paint-job, nothing more (they're even using Unreal), and I get plenty of those games from Korea on any average day. I was hoping for more unique elements in the game, such as the ability to sustain massive amount of damage, and at a certain treshold, for the player to start… -
Re: Sci-Fi Hallway WIP
dont neglect the floor, so many peices i see like this where you get the flor only needs to be a plane... no if anything add a bit more parrellexing to it, some edging will also help mipping adding detail in the middle distance, maybe recess the grilled bits slightly or give them an alpha mask onto some "stuff"… -
Re: GONDI DesertTower (many large images)
I really like the texture work, nice job! Crits: - I think the underlying model could use some work. - There are some big leaps in logic as to what is supporting some pretty big bits. - It's sometimes hard to factor weight and gravity in a zero-g environment but its critical that we do. - Some of the damaged and sloped…
