I'm looking at/playing a bunch of custom maps for quake1 and it really makes me want to see/make the quake aesthetic but updated to the fidelity of 2019

Quake Champions itself is closer to that aesthetic than UT would have been. Alternatively you can go half-way and just slap high res textures and normal maps turned to 11 onto the old low poly models (high contrast and oversaturation included for free)...

Listerine posted:I was trying to watch the video for the box cutter addon but having trouble with the stream, is this basically a boolean toolset, and can you use custom shapes to do the cutting or only box shapes? Yea you can use custom shapes , draw shapes, box, circle etc. It has a ton of functionality.

Finished that project! https://vimeo.com/352850294  It was supposed to be a visual metaphor but I'm not sure that lands. Very intentionally as far removed from day-job work as possible. Lots of fx, all phoenix & tyflow. Been posting the assets to my instagram for the last 2 weeks, so that sort of works as a reverse-making of now that it's done. https://www.instagram.com/neilgrfis/

so i just fired up the hammer for probably the first time since like 2010 and after using modern editors like unity and ue4. Holy poo poo how did we ever get anything done? I have the utmost respect for people still using that editor to make maps for CS:GO and TF2 in the year 2019 Kanine fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Aug 9, 2019 |

Kanine posted:oh nice, is that the y-wing from the clone wars? That it is Last time I tried making something similar, I quickly ended up putting so many support loops that I had no idea what anything was anymore. I've been trying to learn a bit more about good topology and while this isn't going to win any neatness awards, it's leagues cleaner than what I've been able to do before. The inlets and torpedo tubes were what gave me the most trouble but I seem to have done them by hand without them looking too bad.

Thank you for checking it out  Odddzy posted:How in the hell did you do the end credits with the flickering neon? It looks really cool. Good job on the camera movement too. I thought those two things were really interesting. Thats glass text and a target light with a random noise controller on it's position - it's all caustics with the original object invisible. I have done a ton of experiments with caustics, it was nice and quick! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bb5CnJ_gUWp/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BcPvDfnghlf/ keyframe posted:That looks really awesome. One thing I don't like is how bright that red light is. It is more bright than the operating table light and distracts from the mood of the scene I think. Other than that awesome job. You're totally right, it does read too intense. In the interests of giving a breakdown - It's nowhere near that bright an object in the scene itself, it's a grading issue. Had to render it pretty flat and then crush the contrast in post so it's a little unbalanced. I used the nvidia AI denoiser which took my render times from from 6 hours a frame to 10 minutes, but when using that you cant render dark and lift elements in post, it creates kind of hosed up edges. The raw render has the operating table light totally beyond burnt out and the red still visible... once the tonemapping & gamma was applied on the overbright scene in post it pulled the highlights down & brought them to a similar place, then crushing it to make it dark and boosting the saturation for everything else (another thing the nvidia denoiser fucks with) meant i ended up with burnt out red values over 1+ and a main light that was well balanced. I would definitely not use the nvidia denoiser in production because of the hosed up workflow you have to take around it, but it's still the only way i was able to complete this. I could've improved this with a bit more work into the grade, soft masking some areas and trying harder to fix this. I got a bit lazy at the end really. E: This lovely base render I was working with (I would never work with bases like this for proper client work...) light values are around 4-5, red is a hair over 1.

does anyone know if there's a level editor for old games like quake, half-life, etc. that's actually realtime instead of needing to compile?

Kanine posted:https://cgpress.org/archives/quadremesher-tool-released-for-max-maya-and-cinema-4d.html Definitely from the original programmer for ZRemesher. https://polycount.com/discussion/208030/quadremesher-new-auto-retopo-plugin-for-maya-3dsmax/p1 I saw this released a couple of weeks ago and kind of forgot about it until now. I need to download the trial and test it to see if it would help with the CAD files I frequently import.

Could a kind soul with octane for 3ds Max open up a scene file and grab the materials in it for me? I shouldn't have bought this course hoping I can use it in c4d.

Seeing that makes me admire early texture artists. If you ordered me to recreate Half Life textures without a digital camera, the Substance suite and I'm only allowed a barebones Photoshop I'd be completely lost.

A lot of textures were made from photographs even back then! There was still a lot of post work done to clean up everything and make sure there was a cohesive look across all of the textures.

this reminds me of how there was a reddit thread where someone was angry about the fact that motion capture was being used in a game, and they called it cheating i wonder if people said the same thing about rotoscoping?

There's always gonna be someone who's more interested in process than in results. If you wanna be the Cuphead devs and hand-animate everything, that's fine, but there's nothing wrong with using tools to get the job done faster.

I make inked 3d models of vehicles for the Rick and Morty animators to drive around on curves and rotoscope over. I'm part of the cheating.

If you wanna be the Cuphead devs and hand-animate everything, that's fine, but there's nothing wrong with using tools to get the job done faster. In fairness, sometimes the process itself is part of the art - but that really only enhances the result when it's an intentional decision with reasoning behind it. Avoiding any new tools out of stubbornness is... not that.

True Art is when your art director that can't draw sends you a bunch of samurai pics he's found on google image search and asks you to make a character based on his vision.
