[pliant spindle]

I'll try to hang around this channel for as much as I can. If you have any piece of art you want discussed, showcased or critiqued, feel free to tag me.
I'll see if I can teach some Origami here once in a while if you want, as well...

[tidal trench]

can the art devs come here as well

@pliant spindle

[pulsar grail]

Wait, now I am confused. So if we want to discuss material from #foxhole-creative we go here?

[timber beacon]

Yup.

I'm leaving that unpinned for now. Want the rules to be the only pin for a while

[atomic latch]

But this can also be for unrelated art

[timber beacon]

Yes.

[atomic latch]

So basically a place for any type of actual art or drawings , not only foxhole related.

[sudden crystal]

🤔

[pliant spindle]

we are just trying something new. We are trying to create an outlet for all the other stuff the amazing artist of Foxhole can create

[pulsar grail]

Origami teachings or riot!

[silk fulcrum]

how dare thee riot against lord HB orgami wisdom

[atomic latch]

@silk fulcrum @sudden crystal try not to have random banter just so we can not clog the chat up

[sudden crystal]

....

[silk fulcrum]

aye darky dark

[sudden crystal]

Why the hell did you tag me for

[silk fulcrum]

no memes after all

[marsh eagle]

@pulsar grail you must exchange progressively smaller paintings for each origami lesson.

[flint leaf]

micropaintings

[pulsar grail]

@marsh eagle : darn

Google's microscope

[cobalt tinsel]

you know what, lets kick this channel off a bit. I am going to attempt a little origami

[flint leaf]

inb4remlly makes a paper airplane

[sudden crystal]

Lol

[cobalt tinsel]

paper doggo

I am already at it

[flint leaf]

ooh ooh

does metalworking count as art

[cobalt tinsel]

YES

[pulsar grail]

off course

[silk fulcrum]

as long as it looks nice

[cobalt tinsel]

especially if its blacksmithing, I'd love to try my hand at that someday

[silk fulcrum]

i'll show you art of me slamming LEGO pieces together

[flint leaf]

yeah I have a coalforge @cobalt tinsel

[sudden crystal]

@flint leaf do you make swords🤔

[pulsar grail]

I've been to museums where apparently everything counts as art

[flint leaf]

@sudden crystal close, knives

[sudden crystal]

[cobalt tinsel]

@flint leaf I made a coalforge the other day... if a couple of bricks count as a forge

[flint leaf]

heh

[cobalt tinsel]

I havent fired it though, since I am concerned it might collapse under the heat... and its raining

[atomic latch]

@summer field new art channel for you

[tidal trench]

@mystic escarp you too

[mystic escarp]

Wat

More channels

I know someone who is really happy about it

[sudden crystal]

Lmao

[timber beacon]

le doggo

[mystic escarp]

So it's art-general-chat

Huh

[pulsar grail]

#off-art

[mystic escarp]

Lol

[atomic latch]

@mystic escarp technically yes , can post any Foxhole unrelated art here

[solar fiber]

Owo

[sudden crystal]

Rename when

[solar fiber]

It happened

[mystic escarp]

Let me get lewd artists

[cobalt tinsel]

yo lets keep the discussion not related to art to #general-discussion

[inland ridge]

art submission

[silk fulcrum]

@mystic escarp the one with the colonial that alien sent ?

try that

see if it stick

[solar fiber]

@cobalt tinsel i heard blacksmithing

[tidal trench]

@inland ridge pls read the pinned messages in this channel.

[atomic latch]

@tidal trench can u clear this place up a bit ?

Thanks , including my sentences

[solar fiber]

Blacksmithing is a fine art

[pulsar grail]

Art: discuss....

[solar fiber]

I wanna try blacksmithing

[sudden crystal]

Nice

[cobalt tinsel]

@pulsar grail is that 3D?

[solar fiber]

So I can make my own swords and stab wa4dens

[pulsar grail]

@cobalt tinsel nope

[tidal trench]

looks like a vector art.

[pulsar grail]

^

[willow gorge]

Technical Issues -standby

Carry on.

[pliant spindle]

@pulsar grail nice. good composition. I wonder if the artifacting is from discord compression

[pulsar grail]

Yep it is HB. Since its an AI work

Jpg makes everything cringewworthy

[timber beacon]

@inland ridge Yeah, let's not meme here.

[solar fiber]

It is good does freerk live in canada?

[tidal trench]

Illustrator?

[pliant spindle]

well. it could have been from the export method

[tidal trench]

Wish I knew how to use Illustrator. that would make my life so much easier

Photoshop has been my bestfriend since 😦

[pulsar grail]

Could be, can probs do a png one. Those usally are better

[tidal trench]

do a Targa xD

[summer field]

oh new channel

[solar fiber]

Yes

[pulsar grail]

I checked, it's discord that makes the artifacts

[timber beacon]

no more Targa

[atomic latch]

@summer field unrelated art drawings can be posted here

[pliant spindle]

No need. If it's illustrator, you can set up the jpg compression rate from the export.

[tidal trench]

same goes for PS iirc.

Illustrator does it better i think

[timber beacon]

Yup.

[pulsar grail]

Illustrator is OP

[timber beacon]

Also in PS, people create at 72dpi for some reason, when they should create at 300 if their machine can handle it.

[pulsar grail]

I fr*cking love it

[tidal trench]

people dont know how to use dpi

[timber beacon]

Most people hit new, change resolution, and go.

[pulsar grail]

They do once the sent something to a printer

[flint leaf]

remind me what DPI is

[pliant spindle]

well... to be fair, dpi is not a measurement of quality. just density.

dots per inch

[flint leaf]

ah

[pulsar grail]

One more Kingfisher one

[solar fiber]

Amazing

[timber beacon]

True. But when you create at higher DPI, your art is more likely to be usable across the board rather than having to worry about scaling a raster image constantly

[pulsar grail]

Just make vector art and scale won't be a problem

[tidal trench]

So HB, whats the chance of us getting Depth of Field for Ingame screenshots when using free cam?

[timber beacon]

Like the people who try to get their 72dpi 200x600 logo printed on a 4 foot banner.
ahhh the days of working at a print shop.

[solar fiber]

Yes

[pulsar grail]

@timber beacon: "just scale it a bit "

[pliant spindle]

that is if you go with standard sizes. Photoshop only cares about actual pixel x pixel count. it can change dpi without quality loss as long as pixels are not created or deleted.
The real problem comes when people start a work at low pixel density for their media and try to up-res it. No matter the way

[timber beacon]

I used to make a good amount of cash recreating logos for people because of it.

[solar fiber]

@tidal trench. Show us screenshots

[tidal trench]

I can't find 'em 😦

[solar fiber]

😭

[pliant spindle]

@tidal trench like.... very low

[tidal trench]

or like, I dont have them anymore

makes me depressed

lol HB

change it to "smart object"

[tidal trench]

[solar fiber]

I have screenshots I'm just grounded from my computer

[pliant spindle]

@tidal trench SOLVED! XD

[timber beacon]

Ahh, good times

[pliant spindle]

looks pretty cool. You can fake camera soft focus in PS if you really want. but I don't see us including it into the game... sorry

@atomic latch ^

[pulsar grail]

Where did my Van Go?

[atomic latch]

Ah never thought of PS apparently

[timber beacon]

That's a tiny Van. That's why you can't find it.

[pulsar grail]

Im allready liking this channel

[brave coral]

OH

I have art

[atomic latch]

It's clear and peaceful so artists like you all can get ideas and feedback from other artists who stumble or happen upon here 😃

[tidal trench]

Give me a license HB

Reeee

[timber beacon]

"Spend $700 on me reeee"

[tidal trench]

[timber beacon]

Creative Cloud or gtfo

Especially if you have a .edu email

[pulsar grail]

CC is a better deal than just one app

[timber beacon]

CC is an amazing deal.

[pliant spindle]

Agreed ^ . But Gimp is a pretty good free alternative

[pulsar grail]

Got me back into Flash Animate

[tidal trench]

this is why HB

lol Freerk

[timber beacon]

Indeed. If you need something, Gimp is handy

[tidal trench]

I dont want to go back to the dark days

[timber beacon]

BUT, good luck going back n' forth between the two.

[brave coral]

My art

[timber beacon]

@mellow talon

@brave coral Nice

[brave coral]

Thank you

[pulsar grail]

@brave coral: that looks really nice

[loud walrus]

Imagien a gallow in the middle of the town

[pliant spindle]

@timber beacon that remind me of that software that has triangles as it's pixel unit... what's the name, again?

[tidal trench]

lol

[brave coral]

❤

[atomic latch]

@brave coral was that water color ?

[brave coral]

Oil

[tidal trench]

Night Time version.

oh

[atomic latch]

Oh. That looks beautiful

[brave coral]

Thank you

[flint leaf]

here's a thing I made once, really rough knife (haven't finished it, been too busy with other stuff to really keep up with my forging, it's been nagging at me to return to it though)

[tidal trench]

I love it cookie

[loud walrus]

Th wood planks on the wall are really nice 😉

[brave coral]

@tidal trench Thank

Never been much of a artist person, so I like it alot

[tidal trench]

aye, as well.

@flint leaf are you planning to do larger projects

[flint leaf]

maybe eventually

[tidal trench]

or are you gonna make a lot of knives, Possibly sell it to chefs

[flint leaf]

tbh my first project I tried to make was a sword but that didn't turn out well

[pliant spindle]

That's really cool @flint leaf . I'm getting into metal work as well, these days. But mostly small stuff, like jewelry

[flint leaf]

the steel ended up getting too hard so I could hardly even work it even at orange heat

[pulsar grail]

@brave coral : Seriously oil 👌 ? Never got the hang of it

[solar fiber]

@flint leaf you trigger me

It's not orange heat it's energy

[flint leaf]

jewelry? that's cool, I don't think I could ever have steady enough hands to do miniscule stuff like that @pliant spindle

@solar fiber shush, you're not the blacksmith here

[solar fiber]

ENERGY

[timber beacon]

Having the right tools help a lot with unsteady hands. And patience.

[flint leaf]

things I both lack

lol

[brave coral]

@pulsar grail I was surprised too haha

[solar fiber]

The reason you can see orange is because the energy is moving so fast, and that's why it's so hot.

[timber beacon]

Mother used to co-own a Native American craft store at one point when I was super young, so I got into doing leatherworking and such when I was like, 6.

[brave coral]

Watching Bob Ross helped lol

[cobalt tinsel]

when HB had his metal shaper name yesterday, I told you he was getting into blacksmithing

[flint leaf]

@solar fiber and in the blacksmithing world, if you say energy you're just going to get a lot of strange looks, it's dull red, red hot, orange hot, straw-yellow, yellow, white, etc until it melts

[solar fiber]

Triggerd

[cobalt tinsel]

I understand you america, as with a chemical background talk about energy, not about colours

[solar fiber]

Physics taught me things I thot I never would use

[raven spire]

camera bug screenshots? 🤔

so whats with the sun rays in foxhole

not expected that

[tidal trench]

god rays

[solar fiber]

Yes

Camera screenshot

[tidal trench]

VolUmETRiC AtMosPhERe

[solar fiber]

Isn't it technacly an exploit

[tidal trench]

Aliliel would be pleased.

[solar fiber]

But also not really

[tidal trench]

good gracious.

[timber beacon]

Needs more god rays

[atomic latch]

I just realized , someone can make a sketch of the screenshots they took in Foxhole

[flint leaf]

that's just overdoing it

[raven spire]

so is that HBs gaze? 😄

[flint leaf]

@atomic latch exactly why I took so many screenshots lol

[atomic latch]

Haha nice

Jeesus

My eyes

[solar fiber]

[tidal trench]

setting your post effects to Maximum

[flint leaf]

colonial cosplay when?

[solar fiber]

@flint leaf gib?

[flint leaf]

no u

[solar fiber]

Yes me

[pulsar grail]

Unfinished work, needs some C&C

[raven spire]

ok, so how about the Foxhole: FPS; DLC 😛

[tidal trench]

reminds me a lot of C&C red alert 3

the vector artstyle they had.

[atomic latch]

Yeah looks like that

Along with the color used

[solar fiber]

@raven spire one day I will show you try foxhole fps

[marsh eagle]

question: what (free) programs can you use to make things like this?

[pulsar grail]

Inkscape

[marsh eagle]

i've heard something about vector art, but I have no idea what that is

[flint leaf]

I just use firealpaca for my digital art needs

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pulsar grail]

Vector art is lines as math instead of pixels

So you can scale it any way you like without pixelation

[tidal trench]

yep.

[pliant spindle]

@marsh eagle pixlr

[tidal trench]

Does it in photoshop anyway

[cobalt tinsel]

ive learned how to work with inkscape when I made some maps for running with rifles.

[pliant spindle]

also, vector art is art software that is based on points, curves and shapes instead of pixels

[tidal trench]

Smart Objects and shapes will save me

[marsh eagle]

adobe is expensive tho

will chekc out pixlr

[flint leaf]

hmm

[pulsar grail]

It is. close to 70 euros a month

[pliant spindle]

https://www.creativebloq.com/photoshop/alternatives-1131641

[pulsar grail]

Gimp

[tidal trench]

[wintry cedar]

gimp? eeew

[tidal trench]

(not mine btw)

Makes me want to do another Foxhole Poster.

[solar fiber]

Wrong photo

[cobalt tinsel]

I am trying to fold a dove but I am horribly stuck on a step

[flint leaf]

gimp is a resource hog, as is krita

[analog bane]

lets read PINs plz for those not aware

[cobalt tinsel]

worst is that I am using a kiddies site as instruction

[solar fiber]

Rip photo

[pliant spindle]

@cobalt tinsel HB TO THE RESCUE!

[pulsar grail]

But seriously I meant with C&C Comments and Critique Not Command and Conquer

[cobalt tinsel]

how do I explain it

I need to fold a section but I cant fold it without tearing the paper

[pliant spindle]

send link and step number? 🤔

[cobalt tinsel]

its in dutch tho

http://www.origamivoorkinderen.nl/origami/Duif_02/

[pliant spindle]

doesn't matter

origami symbols are universal

[cobalt tinsel]

step (stap) 5

[solar fiber]

Newest photo

Phone has bad croping

[cobalt tinsel]

oh boy

[pliant spindle]

@cobalt tinsel you insert your finger under this flap (only 1 layer)

[solar fiber]

How to origami

In like 2nd grade an air force person taught us how to paper plane

I forgot how 😭

[pliant spindle]

then raise it up slowly. As you do it, naturally point B will go towards point A in the picture

[tidal trench]

[flint leaf]

origami always seemed interesting but I never got into it

[cobalt tinsel]

aha!

[pliant spindle]

yeahp!

[atomic latch]

Those are some clean fingernails

[cobalt tinsel]

sarcasm?

[flint leaf]

no they look pretty clean

at least compared to mine

mine always get gunk up underneath them constantly

[atomic latch]

^

[cobalt tinsel]

same for me, and they usually grow insanely fast

but I cant remember when I cut them last soo 🤔

does this look like a dove?

[atomic latch]

Um.

Looks like a paper plane to me

[cobalt tinsel]

its like horribly wrong

[flint leaf]

is it sitting up correctly?

[flint leaf]

oh

tbh the instructions doesn't really look like a dove either

[cobalt tinsel]

what did I do

[pliant spindle]

@cobalt tinsel you were supposed to mirror what you did for weach wing on both sides

[cobalt tinsel]

oh I got it

[pliant spindle]

you basically folded your dove over the same side (one wing on top of another)

[cobalt tinsel]

I can fold one of the wings back over.

but now my dove looks misformed and the fold lines are weak. let me try again

[pliant spindle]

Go back to step 5 and do the other side and mirror everything

or that

[cobalt tinsel]

ahaha I got it

anytime it uploads now

[wanton jetty]

Never

[cobalt tinsel]

as soon as discord behaves again

[pulsar grail]

In the meantime, I could use some ideas for a piece I'm working on rn. Anyone wanna weigh in? (not-foxhole realted)

[cobalt tinsel]

@mellow talon solid

[mellow talon]

Jk it’s postits

Sorry

[pulsar grail]

So @tidal trench is in?

[pliant spindle]

@cobalt tinsel Nicelly done
@pulsar grail what is it?

[pulsar grail]

A (long overdue) wedding present

[tidal trench]

[pulsar grail]

I need a background idea

[wanton jetty]

Blue?

Like a light blue

[tidal trench]

hmmm, im not sure about Blue.

[pulsar grail]

Not just a colour, I mean like really graphic shit

[tidal trench]

mhm.

[pulsar grail]

that came out wrong

[pliant spindle]

clif side by the sea?

[tidal trench]

Put a church behind it, that blew off. a text cloud saying "Just married"

Just kidding

[pulsar grail]

Acq gets the idea

partially

church is nice, but they never went there

[tidal trench]

Oh.

[pulsar grail]

Maybe something symbolic, like old houses (parental) new house

[pliant spindle]

or like the smoke forming a heart shape or something like that? 🤔

[wanton jetty]

Artistic photos count for this channel right?

[pulsar grail]

That could work

[tidal trench]

explosion in the background with a heart sign?

bad ass.

[pliant spindle]

@wanton jetty yes.

preferably your own

[tidal trench]

at some point Im gonna ask you highly technical stuff (shaders) HB

[pliant spindle]

feel free. I might be able to answer some stuff. But Matt is the one doing them this project, so he might have more practice

@wanton jetty that's pretty neat. love the color comp.

[tidal trench]

Art team needs to get involve here 😄

(Adam I know you're lurking)

[tidal trench]

this thread is also a nice way to get art references.

I dont have to go through google to find generic photos, when I can get references from here 😄

[wanton jetty]

(All photos i took)

[tidal trench]

Lmao, is that a pumpkin

[pulsar grail]

The last one is nice composition, might benefit from more dramatic light

[pulsar grail]

Yes! That last one is great

I like the colorfulness on the top bit contrasting with the texture

[wanton jetty]

Fun thing is that these are all taken on an iphonw

Iphone*

[pulsar grail]

It shows in the lowlight conditions

Phones don't like that

[wanton jetty]

Ya

[cobalt tinsel]

if I fold something wrong, can I just say it shapes character?

[pulsar grail]

Everything shapes character. Esp in art

[pulsar grail]

It the "creators touch"

[wanton jetty]

Damn

That’s nice

[cobalt tinsel]

nice

[wanton jetty]

And my final photo

[pliant spindle]

@wanton jetty Your portfolio is truly a show.

[wanton jetty]

😄

[pulsar grail]

@wanton jetty : if you cut off the left most bit of the last picture I think it will make it look really awesome

[remote lynx]

Oh, we sharing pics?

[pulsar grail]

we sharing art

so that includes pics

[remote lynx]

I can't art very good

[wanton jetty]

Better?

[remote lynx]

I can pic decent tho

[pulsar grail]

Ow excuse me, I meant the right part

Dang it

The flashy bit

[remote lynx]

Why do I see a guy in a pinguin suit with a tophat and a cane who's in a hurry?

[pulsar grail]

I can't left and right 😒

[wanton jetty]

We don’t need to see my grades >.<

[remote lynx]

74 🤔

[wanton jetty]

I have 4 worksheets i need to turn in >.<

[pulsar grail]

Yeah!

[wanton jetty]

I arted a good

[atomic latch]

D&D?

[olive cove]

Yeah these are the silhouettes of the characters from the tabletop campaign I'm in currently

My character is the one on the far right

[atomic latch]

Looks a bit simple or it's just maybe because the white is too much of the plain white if u get what u mean

I*

[remote lynx]

DnD is neat

[olive cove]

@atomic latch yeah, I didn't put a background, may change that later

[remote lynx]

Does this count?

[mellow talon]

Thought I’d share an artistic montage from my Family reunion last year. I know...I need a gimbal.

https://youtu.be/Vem5Emvidoc

[tidal trench]

now let's play a game

Where's Sunchips

[remote lynx]

0:32?

[mellow talon]

Well my banner on the channel kinda spoils it, so don’t look

[olive cove]

I have this as well which is the characters from the silhouettes, I'm not home so I don't have the one with the off white that looks really nice

[remote lynx]

fuckin nice m8

[tidal trench]

the right one looks like a shaved geralt

[remote lynx]

You make me wanna play DnD then I remember I can't

[olive cove]

White hair isn't because their old, in the campaign's lore the nation my character and the other character is from there are people who can have white hair which is rare

@tidal trench I actually used a geralt picture for my token for some time

Then I made these and the GM liked them so much and everyone else did too so we switched to these for the tokens

[remote lynx]

GM: "You're not licking it clean, are you?"

Player: "I'm not licking it clean."

[olive cove]

[pliant spindle]

@olive cove That is some solid art. Love the design and linework you did

the 3rd char (a fighter?) looks really nice, in particular. His pose is great

[olive cove]

@pliant spindle the guy with the horns and big/guts sword?

[remote lynx]

oh yeah, he's got horns

didn't see that

[atomic latch]

Reminds me of a Spanish conquistador

[remote lynx]

the sword looks unwieldy tho

[pliant spindle]

hm... didn't see the horns either. gotta work on breaking that sillouete... hahahah

[olive cove]

Yeah

His backstory is that he was a pirate, but now he's trying to make up for all the bad he's done and is turning to becoming a knight

[pliant spindle]

@remote lynx maybe. but a fighter lvl 15 could have large 2 hand weapon skill and str 20. so no big deal, hahaha

[remote lynx]

From a stats perspective, maybe not

[olive cove]

He was also ripped in half by a dragon, because the campaign started with all our characters doing in a solo session and we were revived as "undead"

[remote lynx]

good luck fitting it through a doorway, tho

oh

ooh

I recently did read a story about an undead 🤔

had japanese kobolds, too

[olive cove]

The GM did tell us the campaign was going to be a straight dark souls campaign, but he couldn't do the story right so he made his own world and lore, but got inspiration for stuff from the game

[solar fiber]

@olive cove me and my freinds did a star wars game

I uhh nearly got us all killed

[remote lynx]

All those stories have a handful of things in common. They're also a bit childish yet interesting, but that's really just a #general-discussion thing.

[olive cove]

@remote lynx

[remote lynx]

meet me in #general-discussion if you have a desire to know more

[olive cove]

I'm good

[remote lynx]

that's okay

I do wanna learn more of your DnD adventures sometime, though

[solar fiber]

@remote lynx i can tell

In off topic of course

@deep swallow for fun or for a game or something

[crude pilot]

Game?

Or r u selling assets?

[deep swallow]

@olive cove for the 40k arma mod

[olive cove]

Ooo

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench substance painter and substance designer, yes

[pliant spindle]

looks really neat. Are you going to post it i sketchfab?

[wind night]

lol

[deep swallow]

Yep @pliant spindle

[wind night]

Wait, why are you a brick folder now...?

[pliant spindle]

my profile picture

[wind night]

Yes, but why

[pliant spindle]

send the link when you have it. would love to see your work

[olive cove]

Oh yeah I made this for a class project, it was kinda rushed, but it came out better than I expected

[deep swallow]

https://sketchfab.com/johnhazatoth here's my current sketchfab line up

[wind night]

40k, 40k, 40k, 40k...

Even more 40k

[deep swallow]

@wind night well, 90% of it is for my current 40k project

[wind night]

Not surprised

But yeah, I figured

[crude pilot]

←art idiot programmer here

All I do is memes

[pliant spindle]

pretty neat collection. simple and clean meshes

[deep swallow]

Yeah, it is a requirement for RV4

[crude pilot]

Does photoshoped stuff count as "art"

[olive cove]

Oh man I can't wait till I get home so I can show you guys all my drawings

[deep swallow]

@crude pilot depends.

[olive cove]

Or at least the ones that I have that aren't Foxhole related

[tidal trench]

@deep swallow lol I'd love to learn about Painter and Designer's advance tools if only the basic tutorials werent so weird and not exactly "teaching" lmao

[pliant spindle]

@crude pilot it does.... as long as it doesn't break the channel rules

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench hmmm.... are you familiar with photoshop? SP is basically photoshop for 3d models

[tidal trench]

yeah.

Designer's similar to shader graphs as well.

[deep swallow]

Yes. It's fairly simple tbh

[tidal trench]

problem is ... it's not exactly telling me how to do things and it's explaining all these trivial things lmao

like... too many words to explain one thing

D:

[deep swallow]

Tbh you'll need the understanding of the tool to get them

[tidal trench]

yeah. that's a fair point

It's more of a "can't you just show me" lmao

[deep swallow]

Learned it the hard way

[tidal trench]

personal problem

yeah.. im going through that as well

Anyways, this is what I was working on.

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench i might be able to stream tonight

[tidal trench]

Here's my reference.

[torpid fjord]

Ah, my good old photoshop folder

[deep swallow]

I'll show you on how to work with SP using another WIP i have to finish

[tidal trench]

Here was the initial attempt

I wasn't happy with it

no interiors, so the model itself was fairly easy to make

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/320938180285169665/444163914343907329/unknown.png

Did a second one.

Looks familiar does it not?

[torpid fjord]

I'm not sure if this would be considered as a meme or not, but I guess it's abstract art I did in photoshop using some stuff. I honestly don't know what I was doing with this and just mashed different photo sources together.

@tidal trench Gud shit

Btw I made this thing a looooong time ago and just now found it

[tidal trench]

lol.

my first ever task in college when we were using photoshop for the first time was mashing photos

putting them together, and so we made weird images of horses with a baby's body.

as well as putting arnold in the middle of titanic and all that jazz

got a A+ in murican standards

cos I made Nicholas Cage's movie poster.

Hold on, I think I have it

@torpid fjord

[torpid fjord]

Oh man lol

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench other than cleaning and optimizing your mesh, it looks pretty great. You might want to split the windows into a different object and split the interiors into a different object as well

[tidal trench]

I made it all into one mesh, except the roof.

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench yeah. Don't

[tidal trench]

lmao.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/320938180285169665/443912713719119873/unknown.png?width=909&height=559

I'm in too deep

[deep swallow]

Bad idea. Trust me.

[tidal trench]

what happened?

or , what problems did you encounter with it lol

[deep swallow]

Your textures would look shit, your geo lod making is gonna be a pain, you have to split the door into 2 different meshes anyway etc.

And remember, most game engine can only afford getting 2k textures

[tidal trench]

mhm.

Could never go 2K tbh.

would kill my poor laptop

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench you saw my gate earlier? It is only 1 part of a huge building

@tidal trench plus, it makes it easier on substance painter and helps with better distribution of texture

[tidal trench]

that's true as well

[deep swallow]

Trust me, I've made the same mistake before

[tidal trench]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/320938180285169665/443913224564244480/unknown.png?width=907&height=559

it looks horrible I know

but I wanna know how people lay out the UVs for the stairs as well

cos like, this one's the stairs LMAO

and Im not exactly sure if it's a good idea to have seperate / layer on layers of UVs

aka any UV / topology that's somehow the same, gets layered on top.

the 3D modelling class I had was super improper, and she claimed she worked for Ubisoft as a 3D artist lmao

[pliant spindle]

as for UV repeating, depends on how the asset will be dealt in game. Will it be noticeable? do you have UV realstate? Can you use decals and the such to break the patterns that will show up by having the same texture on all the walls?
all considerations you can make when deciding to layer or not your UVs

[tidal trench]

inserts smart materials

but yeah, I'm not exactly sure how it'll get sliced

I wish I had a in-depth look of the garrison house @pliant spindle

I was trying to nudge Adam for that

my only source of learning how to model things were Sketchfab LMAO

[deep swallow]

Just as what HB said, really

[pliant spindle]

well.... garrison house is a little old and he might not be that keen on leaving it there. Is the barn in sketchfab?

[brave coral]

@tidal trench

[deep swallow]

I generally tend not to layer my UV maps because i tend to break the pattern with weathering effects, graffiti, etc.

[tidal trench]

mhm. Smart Materials are great

Designer also let's me achieve the same thing

[deep swallow]

They do. They make a great base textures

[tidal trench]

Farms aren't in sketchfab sadly.

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench but i hope you understand the basics of naming objects in substance painter for the purpose of baking

[tidal trench]

not really lmao

we never got to substance painter. sigh

professor laened on Photoshop - hand drawn art style.

[deep swallow]

Welp. I have to do the ork smoke bomb anyway

It will help with the basics

[tidal trench]

Any resource I could get a hand on would be appreciated as well

so my interiors are quite simple as well, i think

what really screwed me up was the door

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench but generally, I'd advise you to split your building to multiple objects in a single file. Especially door frame, window frames, interior, and the roof.

[final monolith]

Like layers?

[tidal trench]

seperate meshes.

[deep swallow]

No, separate meshes

[tidal trench]

And here I was proud to have achieved one whole Mesh for one building lmao

[deep swallow]

You dun goof m8

[final monolith]

I would think having separate meshes would be more organized so it's easy to fiddle with

[tidal trench]

in Foxhole's Angle it would look like this 😄

[deep swallow]

Exactly. Way more organized, easier to change when needed etc.

[tidal trench]

even Floor's should be separate?

[final monolith]

That reminds me of those stores you see off major roads haha

With those big windows in the front

[tidal trench]

yiz

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench yes

[tidal trench]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/449284108527468578/449378376411774976/House01_Reference.png?width=806&height=560

reference.

[deep swallow]

A floor should be 2 identical flat planes not connected on the sides.

[tidal trench]

gotcha

[olive cove]

@tidal trench you using Maya?

[tidal trench]

yez.

it's the one I grew up on

[olive cove]

I use it in my animation class

[tidal trench]

mhmm. Maya has a powerful animating pipeline

[olive cove]

Made this guy in it

[tidal trench]

lol

[deep swallow]

And then name your meshes for low poly to be like this, outdoor_house_low and for the hi poly sculpt, outdoor_house_high @tidal trench

[olive cove]

I'm not a modeller so eh

[tidal trench]

oh yeah. for the LODs.

[deep swallow]

No, for substance painter baking

[olive cove]

I'm fine with sticking to graphics and drawings

[deep swallow]

You really have to name them such

Makes the production pipeline easier

[tidal trench]

both anyway.

[olive cove]

I'd really like to do 2d animation at some point too, but that's harder

[tidal trench]

actually

it's easier than 3D

depending on how far you'll go also tbf

[olive cove]

Well I mean to me

[deep swallow]

That gate earlier was 2k in poly count for low poly, around 800k in hi poly

[tidal trench]

ah yeah. gotcha

[olive cove]

I haven't really dabbled much in 2d animation

[tidal trench]

my principle on modelling is just make sure everything's quadrangulated.

[deep swallow]

Hi poly is only used for baking

[tidal trench]

to get those extra details on the normal maps aye?

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench work in tris and quads

Yes

[tidal trench]

well yeah, tris if possible.

kinda cheated my way into fitting the floor

so i dont have to make extra edges.

[final monolith]

That seems like a hassle lol

But hell it worked 😛

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench clean your mesh, m8

[tidal trench]

where does it need cleaning

[deep swallow]

Put the stair in a different mesh

Make the 2nd floor as clean as possible

Yes, this is your test.

[tidal trench]

oh that might lessen a few more tris if I did that, yeah.

I'll try to get on it when I can.

[deep swallow]

Seriously, split your meshes.

[tidal trench]

I might redo it entirely as well

[deep swallow]

No need. It's very salvageable

[tidal trench]

but im lazy at salvaging

[deep swallow]

Just need to do a lot of cleaning and optimizing

[tidal trench]

so I do it all over again that's thrice as hard and time consuming

lmao

how can you tell if it needs cleaning?

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench experience

[tidal trench]

Thought so

so from what I'm getting

window frames, including the ones at the ground should be a separate mesh

[deep swallow]

Drawing this on a bus is a bad idea

[tidal trench]

kek

[deep swallow]

But that is how you want to clean your mesh

[tidal trench]

should it be dissected as well?

[deep swallow]

Just the bit on the top

The..... uh...

[tidal trench]

that small angle included? mmkay.

[deep swallow]

Oh wow

It's more messy than I anticipated

[tidal trench]

hahaha

guess I had bad teachers

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench they don't teach you this at school so no worries

[tidal trench]

considering that this person was an artist for Ubisoft

makes me

[deep swallow]

Ubisoft and clean optimized meshes do not mix well

[tidal trench]

KEK

too keep it more simple

[deep swallow]

Yep, still a mess

[tidal trench]

mhm, only set it to quadrangulate

[deep swallow]

Needs more optimizations

[tidal trench]

needs more practice you mean

[deep swallow]

That as well

[tidal trench]

extrude is my best friend

[deep swallow]

Bridge and cut tool is my best friend

[stuck crown]

For those that are dealing with baking. I made a little step by step walk through at the beginning of foxhole. My process has been refined and changed, but the essential is all here:
http://polycount.com/discussion/178550/3ds-max-zbrush-substance-workflow-tutorial#latest

[timber beacon]

Designed my next desk in sketchup lmaooo

It's my secondary desk/workbench, more accurately.

Cable management holes inside the desk with room for a network switch and whatever else I put in there, with all of the top panels able to be lifted open individually.

[deep swallow]

Do what adam did @tidal trench

[timber beacon]

Oh yeh, Adam made a post right before I started rambling about my desk.

[tidal trench]

kek

[stuck crown]

Sorry Sir. Didn’t mean to steal your thunder

Handsome looking desk

[timber beacon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

It's a workbench more.

Just gotta get my table saw back from my friend....

[stuck crown]

Ever watch Matthias Wandel?

[timber beacon]

No actually, but I just looked it up and it looks interesting

Sorry, please continue baking (the non-food or drug kind).

[stuck crown]

https://m.youtube.com/user/Matthiaswandel. He’s a genius

Turns out he’s attending a wedding of a dear friend in a month. I have a bit of a crush on him. So I may fangirl

[tidal trench]

adam, adam Garrison House in Sketchfab when?

[stuck crown]

Never

[tidal trench]

[stuck crown]

Too complicated, too many materials. Too big of a file. Too crappy of an asset

In that order.

[tidal trench]

really? it's a big file?

[stuck crown]

For material management and textures yes. Here would be 20+ unique textures

I can send you the fbx if you want

I can tel you are studying

[tidal trench]

Maybe

i-it's not like I want to learn from you or anything

[stuck crown]

Just don’t do as I do. It’s a crap model and we are dying to improve he environment art severely in the distant future

Yea np. I’ll send you one tomorrow. Anyway I can help. 3D is hard

[tidal trench]

I'm currently trying to study 3D Environment Modelling, works well with 3D Level Design (which is the part I love)

cos staying in my cozy shed as a game designer wont help me much in the industry

people gotta learn to branch out eventually.

[stuck crown]

Amazing. Environment art is certainly difficult.

People make it look easy,even for me as a professional modeller for many years now I still am amazed at what people are able to make

[tidal trench]

only reason I'm going into that branch is because I hate modelling humans , animals , anything that's organic. lol

cos those thingies require 3D Animation, which is another level of Hell

[stuck crown]

It’s not my place, but may I recommend something?

[solar fiber]

@timber beacon is MN for Minnesota

[timber beacon]

Yes

Also, #general-discussion

[solar fiber]

Sorry sir

[deep swallow]

@stuck crown sure

I also don't do much softsurface modelling

By the way, is clapfoot recruiting for environments artist that works remotely?

[tidal trench]

mhm, Im definitely up for criticism on my career path.

please be gentle

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench i won't be. Lol.

[tidal trench]

💔

[stuck crown]

Do not neglect traditional drawing skills. Practicing the fundamentals art will not only make you a stronger modeller, but will make it easier for you to communicate ideas to your team.
Practice drawing spheres,cubes, and cylinders in perspective and you will soon realize that every object in the world is just made up of those shapes, even the human body.
If you start to see a complicated object and are able to break it down to its big shapes that’s about 80% of the work.

Also we are currently not hiring any artists for a while.

[deep swallow]

Aww. Okay

[tidal trench]

F

yeah, I'm told everything is based off on shapes

[deep swallow]

But yeah, what adam said is true.

Break everything down to the fundamentals

[solar fiber]

Adam is magic remember that

[stuck crown]

you were doing great work on he house @tidal trench.

[tidal trench]

awwww stop it , you

[deep swallow]

But it just need some mesh cleaning?

[tidal trench]

go on

[stuck crown]

Don’t feel to need to optimize a model though. Make it look good, optimize the geometry based on your projects need

[deep swallow]

For optimization purposes

[stuck crown]

Like never be wasteful

Lol funny timing.

[deep swallow]

I generally do a lot of optimization for my models because they're needed for RV4 which needs to be very well optimized

Or the engine will act funny.

[solar fiber]

@deep swallow you do good work on the arma 3 mod

[deep swallow]

@solar fiber thanks

[stuck crown]

@deep swallow you’re right, the project always dictates what you need.

Anyways. I’m gonna stop talking. Keep up the great work guys!
if I can help in anyway in the future let me know. We are all on this path together

[tidal trench]

THe purpose of that garrison house :

• a small project that I wanted to submit to #foxhole-creative
• Memes
• Could use it in projects for the future
• Mostly learn the pipelines and techniques

so like, after two years of not modelling, Im learning as I go.

funny thing, the person who taught us 3D Modelling had no knowledge of modelling for Games

2nd one had. but did not have the professional skills to teach

[deep swallow]

@tidal trench you might want to start by joining a modding team

[solar fiber]

I'm gonna learn to build world's in UE4

[deep swallow]

I found it to be more helpful

[tidal trench]

I see

[solar fiber]

I'm gonna teach my self

[tidal trench]

lol America, you'd do well in reading a book I have

it's a book about Level Design 😄

insert 500 pages of research to your face

also, wanna see something horrible?

[deep swallow]

I generally prefer my models to be very well optimized, so i can play with the textures more.

[tidal trench]

mhm, agile for an agile type of business

[solar fiber]

@tidal trench i havnt read a book in so long tbh

My school doesn't care

All I do is work

👌

[deep swallow]

I mean, it's not foxhole level of model optimization (because if it's on fps you need a certain degree of extra depth models)

[tidal trench]

lol

[deep swallow]

You won't be able to use foxhole weapon models for fps.

[solar fiber]

You could

But

[woven yew]

inb4 @tidal trench is actually an Architecture student kek
or graduate? 🤔

[deep swallow]

Not on any modern standards you don't

[solar fiber]

Rip

[deep swallow]

@solar fiber i mean, you can use it for roblox or unturned, probably

I'd move the eye forward a few mm ahead

[woven yew]

rip me

time to delet

[tidal trench]

I'm a graduate from BS Game development 😄

[timber beacon]

I'd agree - the perspective is kindof off (eyes to nose), but the sizing seems good

[solar fiber]

Sir

[woven yew]

😦

alright then...

[solar fiber]

Do you have a Picard server

[deep swallow]

BullShit game development?

[tidal trench]

yes.

cos half of it was kind of BS

[deep swallow]

Aight

[woven yew]

kek

ph game dev?

[tidal trench]

yea.

[timber beacon]

@solar fiber I have a Picard server.

Also, #general-discussion

[olive cove]

Here we go, here's the tabletop group I showed earlier, but with a nice tannish white background

[deep swallow]

That reminds me of my current group, but we have way more magic users

Well, all of my party is a magic user to some extent

[olive cove]

Well most of us have some sort of magical thing, but our only actual magic user is the lady to the left

Like my guy has a spirit animal that is a fox since he's a ranger

halberd guy is a paladin

[deep swallow]

My char is a female wood elf ranger.

With a musket and a longbow

[solar fiber]

Mine would be a sword and sheild

[crude pilot]

I like the guy with the musket

[tidal trench]

lol I have a male wood Elf ranger

[deep swallow]

My old character used to be a dwarf war cleric who brings a warhammer and a dirty bloodstained rag.

[tidal trench]

kommissar, ASL?

[olive cove]

That's my character @crude pilot

[high ledge]

hey acq

[crude pilot]

What are you saying all elves are over sexualizes females

[tidal trench]

Yes?

[high ledge]

why is it that i can sketch up exactly what i want

[solar fiber]

Yes

[crude pilot]

Musket users are a rare thing in rpg

[high ledge]

and when i try to do it again

i fail for the next 2 hours

when the first one took 2 min

[olive cove]

He started out with a long bow, since he was from a time in the world's history that guns weren't invented in yet and when they all get transported to this Dark Souls-esque world they got access to those other things

Since time is not relevant

[solar fiber]

@olive cove muskets are not in dark souls

[crude pilot]

Is itnlike dnd

[solar fiber]

This triggers me

[crude pilot]

They r in metal gear solid thou

Op as fck

[solar fiber]

No one cares bout metal gear right niw

[deep swallow]

@olive cove almost the same, but my group was on vacation in an island before we had to fight against a coup d'etat, but all of the government bodies is dead and our group somehow won the civil war that followed.

[crude pilot]

Rip snek

[olive cove]

@solar fiber Never said the campaign was dark souls

[crude pilot]

F

[olive cove]

I said it was like it

[solar fiber]

@olive cove i thought you did

[deep swallow]

And we intercepted an experimental illegal weapon shipment, which is the musket i now use

[olive cove]

@deep swallow Another big difference is that all our characters died before the actual campaign starts

Like a certain game

[woven yew]

🤔 where to play tabletop games?

[high ledge]

is this considered... art related

[solar fiber]

Yes

[crude pilot]

U nees to meet actual person

Which is quite challenging for peeps like me

[olive cove]

I was explaining my art @high ledge

[solar fiber]

I poped my neck now my right shoulder hurts

[high ledge]

yeah im just saying the convo seems to have drifted a bit since

[crude pilot]

Is there a mainstream way to play DND online?

[high ledge]

but it's hard to not do that so meh

[woven yew]

fixed... i think? cause the eyes are off

[high ledge]

Day 4 of drawing for me

[deep swallow]

@woven yew yes

[olive cove]

As much as I'd like to talk more about tabletop, lets move that talk to #general-discussion

[solar fiber]

@crude pilot i had dnd online

[high ledge]

thanks lercas

[deep swallow]

It is better now @woven yew

[high ledge]

[crude pilot]

@solar fiber website name?

[high ledge]

oi

#general-discussion

[solar fiber]

Steam @crude pilot

[high ledge]

[deep swallow]

[high ledge]

@woven yew looks nice, I only started drawing 4 days ago

i have a lot to learn & practice

[tidal trench]

that recovery.

[high ledge]

trying to.. find a pic from the artist im trying to learn the artstyle of

but like.. they're not exactly sfw material..

[woven yew]

owo
never ending learning

[high ledge]

chichey you're in my server right

[woven yew]

ye?

[high ledge]

we have a hidden art channel we just made, for people who like to draw cute 2d girls nice weeb art

wanna join

[woven yew]

sure

[high ledge]

i just have to give you the role

[woven yew]

kek

[high ledge]

alrighty

[crude pilot]

My avatar, not by me but a friend who actually draws

[tidal trench]

lol Ahri

[crude pilot]

@high ledge do you know kahasina?

His art is great for beginners to imitate and has a very relaxing style

[high ledge]

nope

ah

nah ill stick with who im trying to copy rn

he doesnt have a complicated style really, just... i like it a lot

[crude pilot]

definitely not an excuse to post waifu
-by kahasina

@solar fiber can you DM me about the table top thing on steam?

[tidal trench]

o yea... speaking of level design

CoH2's world builder and splat system works wonders.

[woven yew]

Men of War world editor

[tidal trench]

this was the concept

Just apply the barebones :

• Units Spawn
• Player's base are set.

actually let me put it in imgur so I dont spam

[woven yew]

is this a MOBA map?

[tidal trench]

n-no?

[woven yew]

thought so kek

[crude pilot]

Dota intensifies

[solar fiber]

@crude pilot i can't I'm on mobile
