    "The most realistic game of the year"
    >While showing Just Cause 3 footage. Heh. It's a stunning game but anyone who has played it knows they laugh in the face of realism.

    It’s amazing how far Poliigon has developed!

  • @abstruseoni
    @abstruseoni Před 7 lety +99

    I love this idea in concept, and it has alot of potential, but still needs to grow. And I realize the site is still 'new', but I have a few critiques. For good game textures, they should all be patterns. Having a brick texture is nice, but if it doesn't pattern, then it's almost pointless. And I would like to see alot more 'elements' and not just natural textures. Like high tech metal door textures, or divits/bolts, numeric pads, buttons, access panels, and other small elements that could be added to 3D models.

    • @abstruseoni
      @abstruseoni Před 7 lety +65

      ALSO, I think it would be wise to allow 2 or 3 free downloads a day for free members. That way hobbyists can still use the site (more importantly CONTINUE to use the site), but serious designers could still start a membership for unlimited access.
      And finally, I would have a section for contributors. Of course this might be down the road, but it would be great if texture artists could submit their own library of normal maps. They would have to go through a proofing process, but that could quickly expand the currently limited amount of textures.
      Keep up the good work!

    @eliobelio7033 Před 6 lety

    All of these textures are amazing! I'm not a graphic designer or CG artist of any means, but as a consumer of this fine art it is easy to say this is the work of a professional. Well done!

  • @marcotrosi
    @marcotrosi Před 8 lety +358

    30 days trial? Sounds like a monthly payment. Is there also the possibility to pay only for what I want to download? You know, for the hobbyists who need textures twice a year.

    • @nathanieljonathan4275
      @nathanieljonathan4275 Před 8 lety +11

      its just 17USD/month -_- why not?

    • @marcotrosi
      @marcotrosi Před 8 lety +240

      it is indeed a fair price if you need textures every week or if you make money with your art, but if you need textures just ones or twice a year it would be cooler to pay for what you download. am I totally wrong?

    • @EthanfromEngland-
      @EthanfromEngland- Před 7 lety +150

      No, you're correct.

    • @Grimeaper
      @Grimeaper Před 7 lety +11

      The issue is back door artist like you and I are not the targets. Quite simply put a lot of places expect money from you even in a 3D artist field.

    • @RicardoEsteves
      @RicardoEsteves Před 7 lety +108

      Why don't you just pay for one month and during that month (or during the free trial one) download all the textures you find interesting and that you might need in the future? Or you can create multiple accounts, I assume, with multiple e-mails. Not the most "honest" way of doing it, but broke and poor people always find their ways around...

  • @dyslexicstoner2408

  • @TheNordicHunter
    @TheNordicHunter Před 8 lety +1

    Congratulations Andrew and hope you have a successful launch! This seems like a fantastic idea. Being a designer, I really like your logo, but for some reason it seems like I've seen it used somewhere before. Also, I follow you on Art Station and hope you haven't stopped drawing. You were really doing awesome work and making huge improvements in such a short time. Now that I think about it, focusing on this will probably actually make you more money anyway. You know what you're doing. LOL

    • @poliigonofficial
      @poliigonofficial  Před 8 lety

      +TheNordicHunter Thanks mate! As for the logo, it does indeed look similar to ArtStation and Substance, but supposedly the designer hadn't seen those before. So perhaps it's a coincidence? :P I dunno. Either way, we like it.
      And yeah I still dabble in 2d for fun. But I'm focusing on 3d and texturing right now :)

  • @davidgeorge6278
    @davidgeorge6278 Před 6 lety

    I'm so happy with my poliigon account. I am only just learning CGI, and I thought that it was not worth it for me as a total noob, but now that I am using proper textures I can see that I don't suck as much as I thought I did, I was just using amateur textures. Now I look at things I have made, and I wonder if it was really even me who made them. I am so pleased with the results I am getting, I did not think that after just 2 weeks of learning this stuff I would be able to make the things I do.

    • @poliigonofficial

  • @sky030381
    @sky030381 Před 8 lety +22

    Not trying to put a downer on your product Andrew, this is an excellent product, but I would only be interested in
    purchasing on a credit based system , aka pay as you go like with CGTextures. I use a lot of textures and normally make my own high res tiles n maps. But for convenience if this were on a pay as you go basis I would be happy to use this product on a regular basis... I hope you may consider adding this as an additional payment method sometime in the future.

    • @poliigonofficial

      Poliigon awesome product, but can i add one thing
      8k is 32 MP since its (roughly) 8000x4000
      4k is 4000 ish on the long edge. Full hd is sometimes refered to as 2k and 8k is 7680 long ;) just a small detail ;)

    • @rwhunt99
      @rwhunt99 Před 6 lety

      You are right, there is HD, UltraHD, Wide HD, and a number of other flavors. It is nice to have a selection of resolutions to fit the project you might be doing. Not everyone even needs 4k.

    I have this product, and want to say it is incredibly easy to use and has very nice results. It is much easier then before, where I spent so much time getting maps ready, which I knew often wouldn't necessary be that great quality cause there are still a lot of maps that elude me. Like displacement maps for instance.

  • @curhob
    @curhob Před 4 lety

    Just a note- he mentions this BW map that can be used to control the reflective property (how reflective) the material is. Everything is actually equally reflective at 50% (except metal, which is 100% reflective), it's more roughness that you want when you think of turning reflection off. Instead, maybe invert and adjust the reflection (or specular) map so the white values mean more roughness instead of black means less reflection, if that's what a material comes with, and connect it to the roughness if you don't already have a rough map. I think he knows that now, but just for anyone watching.

    Why didn't I heard of that sooner? Seriously this site is what you want as a 3D artist. It is even unbareable hard to find even seamless textures but having all those maps included to them is crazy. It is the thing I always said to myself "You know, that is the service you need to pay for bigger projects" seriously there are websites that charge substancially more and only give you crappy images to work with, some even so bad that you ask yourself "Why don't I just photograph it myself" which is what I ended up doing most of the time when nothing was available.
