Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
I would recommend not reading so much down in all these internet rabbit holes, and instead just plain making more art. Put in the time to get better at your craft.

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
See, I decided to shut the fuck up since it was complained about as, rightly, off-topic. But now we're doing random posts from people who are tagging DEI and fucking Asmongold and complaining that the characters are androgynous? What, you had the whole internet at your fingertips but you could only find commentary from a guy that's posting shit like this?
Isn't this supposed to be a thread about layoffs? As in, the shit that's happening right now, and not some hypothetical future layoffs from a game that hasn't even come out yet because some chuds think it looks too woke?
Looks less like a contribution to the discussion, and more just trying to sneak your usual shit in through the backdoor. I'm going to try to go back to shutting the fuck up on this topic unless I find something about the actual industry layoffs to say; you should do the same, NikhilR.

Re: Gina (critique welcome)
@iam717, thank you

Phew, think that's that for the time being: Artstation
It took a while trying to figure out the lighting and rendering in UE. Various exposure settings nearly killed me. Makes me really appreciate how friendly Blender is =D It was made all that much harder because of ill-timed hardware adjustments that messed up my screen settings - what are the chances it would happen now?
In any case, one serious headache later, I got things working and ready to call it finished (for now). She really could use some props (like an Automag to heroically aim at things) and some NaPali enviro assets, but I'll just have to put it on the list of things to (hopefully) do in the next iteration.
I've read prologue from Unreal manual and thought it would be a shame to make the Prisoner a "stoic space marine convict" type of character in terms of facial expressions. They seemed to me like someone capable of having fun as a normal human being, despite whatever experiences landed them in prison.
So bonus EEVEE renders:
Side-by-side (kinda makes me want to try making a lowpoly character, a Nali maybe, with vertex animation):
Some days ago I came upon UnrealRedux project (by Krull0r) and my whole model suddenly felt so... bland. Like an unnecessary high poly amateur cosplayer. There is still some stronger style to be found for this project, something that would make it a little bit more like Unreal. Wish I knew what that was.
Some exploration from before I started on the model:

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
I like the art style in the trailer-- the kind of game, gameplay wise, that I couldn't care less about, but at least it's trying something visually "new".
And of course Nikhil goes right back to his schtick.

[WIP] Triumph Rocket 3R Bike (SubD Model)
Hello!
I am making a model of the Triumph Rocket 3R motorcycle and thought I'd share my journey on polycount as well.
Here are some photos of the motorcycle:
The project started around two years ago with the goal to improve my subd modeling skills. Since I'm doing this in my spare time, work on the project has been very inconsistent, so I can't really estimate time put into it so far. I'm probably around 80% done with it.
The most difficult part of the bike so far was the engine, which I finally finished modeling recently:
I made a separate showcase for it since it was really complex. You can see more wireframe shots, closeups and a turntable on my artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/K3Jgor
I will post WIP screens of parts I have already done and which I will be making in future here in the thread. Thanks for checking it out!

Zombieesss! Low poly hand painted personal project for fun!
Hey all,
Thought I`ll post a shot now and then about my latest hand painted models I`m working on. Decided to make a pack of modular pieces building a zombie kit, few body pieces and a good deal of costumes etc.
Hope you like it! Feel free to comment / crit, it`s all much appreciated!
Cheers

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
I think DEI is a US-centric issue, because this country has deep and ingrained problems centered on racism, sexism, ageism, etc. DEI is an attempt to fix these issues, but in turn ends up being very divisive.
Polycount always has been, and should probably be mostly about the making of content for games. DEI has a place in this process, but like politics and religion it is a topic rife with division, and always seems to produce animosity. Which then drowns out the process of actually making content.
I love it when people discuss issues around making art for games. But I don't like it when it devolves into attacks on each other. So maybe the solution then is to simply ignore and not comment when you feel triggered, and instead focus on making art, and helping others improve their art.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | March - April (95)
Hi,
@rafiii looking great! really like the vibes with the ivy and how the plaster peels from the walls. also the lighting is very interesting and really ups the mood. keep it up
@Badgoing your's looking really solid too! materials already looking great. lighting also looks really nice.
For myself and the hard surface concept I am calling it done. Having improved a lot in substance painter with this challenge and really gald to finally have participated. If you have any more feedback or suggestions, feel free to post - I still might do some tweaks to it. :P
I used Blender, Substance Painter and Marmoset to model, texture and render.
I will still hang around and give feedback since I think the environment you guys are working on has a lot of potential and really interested in seeing what you come up with.
Take care and have fun!

Re: [UDK] Zelda Water Shader Help
I'm bumping this thread since I finally saw someone break down exactly how each water effect works instead of just recreating similar effects.
