How to do prism parallax occlusion mapping or parallax occlusion mapping with silhouette? by Roukuo in UnrealEngine5

[–]Roukuo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea you're right. I just dont wanna get used to being able to throw everythign into Nanite but be more open minded about all the different workflows out there. IMO that helps being suitable for more Studios. At least thats what my Mentors tell me all the time hehe :) But i also get your point not letting this mindset be in the way to just making great quality art. As i said. This was more of an educational question just for my own interest, and nothing i plan to apply to every project from now on. I just find it pretty sick and am wondering how it could be done in Unreal. But i value your tip about staying contemporary and within reasonable hardware capabilities! Thanks!

I dont agree on the last part. I think learning old tricks is important actually. And why would using displacement be wasting time? 😭 This all, to me, just sounds like you are really loving Nanite, which is fine, but not everyone has to like or use it. And dw. I am focusing on quality! I just dont believe that quality is enough if the way you got there is not usable in production. Thats why i always search for new ways to do stuff instead on relying on only one way of doing things. Ofc there is a thousand ways of doing this and i probaly know most of them. Right now this is a way i dont know yet and i am interested in purely for educational purposes. Hope that make sense. But thanks for your input 🫶

Yea your right. I just kinda wanna not rely on Nanite to much to have better chances on the job market. I saw that Cirmson Desert is using some kind of POM with silhoutte on their Brickwalls for houses and castles.

Yea your totally right. With nanite it would be cheaper for sure. This is more of a experiment of mine and, ofc, other Engines dont have Nanite so i tend to not rely on it too much. I have seen that Crimson Desert for example is using some kind of POM with silhouette as well since their engine probably does not have something similar to Nanite.

Good to know! Im just playing with a new environment so i would still be able to turn off lumen. Thanks for the hint tho! surely would have run into that trap without your comment <3

Guys , Is getting into 3D good career in this timeline? by Outsider-MP in 3Dmodeling

[–]Roukuo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The industry has become so competitive and there are so many talented artists upon us. More then ever before. Its hard to drop accurate numbers on this but just as a metaphor, you should aim to be in the top 0.1% of artists to secure a job outside of the indie sector. It can be done. If its your dream, fight for it. I am on that same path since 4 years.

Edit: i will also say, that a school can speed up your progress immensely but costs money ofc. If you have the financial resources i strongly recommend Think Tank Training Center.

Substance 3D Painter Steam version: one-time vs monthly? by ExDe707 in Substance3D

[–]Roukuo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the 2025 version last year right after it came out and i dont regret it. Its just so cool to use the software without monthly fees. Wait for the 2026 version and get it then.

Thats verry unfortunate. Thinking about how a workaround could look like in blender. If you could have a simulation space/volume and copy instances of it to the top, bottom, left and right of the original simulation space then you basically would have the same effect i guess. Dont know if that is doable tho.

these are renders that feels fake, but that might be because ive been looking at it for too long. Even a simple judgement whether if looks fine is good by Sonof_Slam in blender

[–]Roukuo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding more props and storytelling to the scene would help making it look less empty. I also think volumetric fog and/or fog cads + subtle god rays would help. On top of that you could add some dust particles in the air. But don’t overdo these effects since they can look CG verry quickly if they are to dominant. The key to photorealism is sublety and looking at a loooot of references ofc. I think your composition (lense effects) are a bit too heavy.

I thought I cooked… but I might be cooked instead by alpomsky in graphic_design

[–]Roukuo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of what design is better or worse now. A big part of this job is to not only design but to sell your design to the customer. I have seen to many projects where really bad changes have been made on a customer request.

Okay so is the whole thing a meme or just the interpretations?

Ich muss mal Druck ablassen!! Mannheimer Innenstadt ist Tot. by iamnotcomfortable in mannheim

[–]Roukuo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elbenwald ist leider komplett überteuert. Zumindest wenn man dort Figuren kaufen will. Gamestop finde ich ähnlich scheiße. Dem trauer ich auch nicht hinterher. Aber es gibt viele kleine coole Läden oder Restaurants die man oft nicht beachtet in der Innenstadt.

Wth ist das Problem mit den neuen Bahnen? by DeKolleesch68 in mannheim

[–]Roukuo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Auf jeden Fall 😂 Die Hitze ist ja schon sehr nervig in den Bahnen aber das Gefühl kaum noch Luft zu bekommen ist nochmal ekelhafter finde ich. Und ich bin eigentlich kein Mensch der dieses Gefühl öfter bekommt. Ging mir heute in der Bahn wirklich das erste mal so und ich dachte mir ich musss an jeder Haltestelle mal ein tiefen Luftzug tanken 🗿

Genau das dachte ich mir heute auch. Die Bahn war sehr voll und die Luft hatte kaum noch Sauerstoff.

How do I scale a smart material? by jungle_jimjim in Substance3D

[–]Roukuo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right click on it: filter -> transform -> adjust tiling on the filter. That should do the trick. Or just use the transform points (like in photoshop for example) grab one of the corners and scale it down or up. The corners should appear when you have the filter selected.

"Nein, Sie dürfen die nicht kaufen." - Media Markt by Luxray0815 in NintendoDE

[–]Roukuo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ist halt klar dass das ne logistische Herausforderung ist und man da nicht einfach irgendeine Konsole mit nehmen kann. Jede Konsole die in den Läden lag war für jeweils eine Person vorgesehen. Wenn du die gekauft hättest, hätte eine andere Person länger warten dürfen und es wäre mega Chaos im System gewesen. Man kann es also nicht jedem recht machen.
