Watermint Studios is looking for a Visual Effects artist that can do shader, texture and particle animations and effects. We're paying $1,600 USD as work is completed, then 2% of all game revenues after release for someone to do as many as 100 different spell, menu and environment effects for our game. Here are a few…
Indeed +1 As an example my choice of DCC app, typically you'd use something like a quad remesher operation then manually edit remaining surface artifacts but rapid conversion is fairly dependent on the object's complexity, as well. Parametric vs Polygonal paradigm i.e. pros and cons
Hi! We are a mobile game company looking for an artist to create the map of our upcoming game using City Designer/Campaign Cartographer (software will be provided for you if you don't have it). If you have an alternate software that you want to use that will get similar or better results, let us know and we'd be open for…
I'm not entirely sure if you're suggesting to attempt to salvage a project by appending the contents of a file that can't be opened? Sometimes it works, but when the RNA structure of the file is broken it'll likely fail and there's pretty much nothing you can do to salvage it other than relying on different backups. I have…
Certainly, textures size should be set on a per case basis, and factors like the size, complexity, importance of item and viewing distance need to be taken into consideration. The previous example of a character's face that will be seen up close in a cinematic is a good example (as long as the texture density isn't…
Curious how this might work in a game engine, with the sorting limitations. Can't afford depth peeling in most games for example. But loving the exploration, this is where discoveries are made!
We have a whole section just on Animation, worth it to dig around in there. This for example has a bunch of great reference and workflow ideas: https://polycount.com/discussion/158862/animation-reference-and-inspiration
Beginner here, confused about Quixel megascans textures. Particularly the texel density and scan area values they provide. I take it that to display the textures in their intended scale we should follow the listed values. For example, Brick Wall…
Looking really cool! I definitely think you're picking up on a lot of things pretty quickly, especially for someone just starting out with handpainting. I know you're going on to a new sword, and I think that's probably the right call, you can keep iterating on your process from start to finish and what not. That said I…
Personally I write down a checklist in the morning or the night before. For example, if I'm studying I would write down milestones or specifically what I need to study. As well as chores and other non-art stuff. Whenever I'm working on my art I do it in silence first so I know what I'm trying to do. I only put on…
