  • In this video, you’ll get an overview of the character modeling workflow and learn about some of the character artists’ key considerations throughout the modeling process. We’ll also introduce the art of texturing-from hand-painting to using shaders-which is often part of a character artist’s role in addition to modeling.

      The foundational skills are the most important, and the thing that takes the most time to develop (anatomy, color theory etc) As long as you can show a quality end product, employers will be less concerned with which tools you used to get there.

      @ChaosEidolon Před 5 lety +6

      Your 3d teacher may need to adjust his lessons a little bit. tris are completely acceptable and preferred in some cases in low poly game models. You only want to maintain all quads for subdivision models, which is used in pixar style animation and hard surface source meshes (and even then you use other n-gons) but never in final game art.

    • @NukaColaLight
      @NukaColaLight Před 5 lety

      No, the height map doesn't do that, it only tells you what on your model should gain height. So if your original model is too low poly, and your height map has a lot of detail about what should move, then it will not be able to do it correctly. Thus you need to increase the amount of polygon to correctly read your height map (most of the time). But it's a separate thing, and not what the height map does.

    • @ChaosEidolon
      @ChaosEidolon Před 5 lety

      @@WirtyDord Hmmm...the real answer is: "it depends". The heightmap captures the highpoly height information relative to the low poly (how much higher do I need to go from the low poly to reach the high poly for every pixel on the map). It's just data. What you choose to do with that data will determine if it adds polys. Modern games have real-time tessellation, which means the game DOES actually add extra polys to your scene, but does so selectively and dynamically. It uses the heightmap to do that. Other shaders will use the heightmap to determine faked parallax, which does NOT add polys, but still creates the look of height by distorting your material as you move around it.
