@sfeist_3dart If you ask in terms of "what works best" it's mostly a matter of consistency. Don't mix up too many shots and preview meshes. Create your identity by choosing 1-2 ways to display and keep them throughout your portfolio. There can be exceptions, but it's not recommended

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

@BeddowsDesign Keeps the spirit awake! Got that over here, too 😁

@troglodette The text mapping. For the scroll I suppose you bridged two splines of which one if just an offset version of the one you manipulate? 😅

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

@troglodette Would you mind sharing how exactly you did that mapping? 😬 I'm trying to bend some leaf textures but just end up getting artefacts 🫠

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

@HotdogNugget First of: thank you, finally someone who demystifies this and actually proofs my gut feeling 😁
Second: is there something similar happening when using displacement and normals on top? I never know how to combine these properly in blender

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

I f*cking new it!

[Nugget 🏳️‍🌈 @HotdogNugget]

Normal maps in blender have been bugging me for a while, and I finally know why! The normal map node actually applies normal maps incorrectly when the strength isn't set to 1.
This causes some nasty artifacts which can be easily fixed with a custom nodegroup.

Just GenerativeFilled the 3D model of a test character for our new project and this was one of the results. What kind of game would you expect? 👀🤪 #photoshop #gamedev

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

@JappLuz Ah yes, endless possibilities ahead 🐙

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

Jup that's a thing now 🤙🏻

[Gentlymad Studios ☢️ @gentlymadgames]

Our dev @KaiKizzIe started a series of short info tutorials on YouTube.
Have a look if you like to get some insights into our development process. Not sure if we should also share them natively on Twitter. 🤔

First topic: LODs for foliage

@Bennadler Sure why not, sounds great 🤘🏻

[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

Please please please let this catch on like wildfire

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

@RonanMahonArt Oh right, seems like watching your mouse over the nodes helps understand what you're trying to show lol. Yeah pretty cool addition

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

@Daehan3D Honest advice: keep specialising but get a good basic skillset as well. If you do not happen to be specialized it can be hard to land a job at AAA studios, while smaller indie studios profit more from generalists.

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

@JonathanBenaino @Substance3D @ArtStationHQ The thing that bugs me most seeing your breakdown is that I will never be able to implement stuff like that in our city builder as performance and camera distance just does not allow it 😭
However smart approach!

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

@josethsc_ @pixologic God damn this looks fantastic

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

@aadil05822 @UnrealEngine Nice dude, happy to hear you're making progress 🤘🏻

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

I mean it turned out far more realistic btw, my brain just frooze and typed stylized lol

[Kai Kizzle @KaiKizzIe]

Continuing my #Overwatch2 stylized materials studies! My render turns out ot be far more stylized then I hoped, but hey, I'm learning. 🤓
