04: Industry Professionals - Q&A

In Linkedin, I reached out to multiple 3D artist and asked them a few questions about photorealistic 3d assets.

Hi ‘Person’s Name’,

My name is Miguel Diaz I’m a VFX student at Futureworks University, I’m working on a third-year research project about Photorealistic textured 3D assets e.g., the evolution of how digital technology has replaced traditional methods particularly in the areas of digital asset texturing for animation, games and film and TV. This will also cover historical techniques from the beginning, present and its future. I’ve created an initial set of questions based on my research. I am aware that you are probably quite busy however, I was hopeful that you could answer some of my questions and give me some useful employment advice. 

The questions are:

1.What do you think is the main factor that makes a 3D object/environment photoreal? As the lighting, little details, the object itself?

2. How important is the software that you use?

3. Looking at how technology is developing, how important is the subdivision levels, high and low polycount, to create realistic assets for games?

Thank you in advance for taking your time with this.

Kind Regards

Miguel Diaz

00: Intro

For this project I will be writing about why it is important to do research before starting your own. I will be talking about photorealistic texturing. Photorealistic textures  Description, what is How it started, history.. what methods/techniques they used at first and how it improved matte painting, compositions? what makes an object real What makes an object photorealistic. What tools do i need to achieve this, whether the softwares i use can be used to make photorealistic textures where is photorealism now and where it is going. Photogrametry? Examples of artists replicating a real object Examples of not so experience artist replicating an object Starting my own project* Stablish a workflow  Real life Reference research,  breakdown of the object, albedo, roughness, metalness, normals, heights what softwares i will need or use depending the method or technique Real life measurements of the way the material reacts to light, real life size How real props used to be textu...

03: Achieving photorealism - Different techniques

Image
There are multiple ways to achieve photorealism using different techniques and software. Depending on the artist and their job or even what they need it for they would use a specific way to create more realistic 3D assets.    Photogrammetry  The Evolution of Video Game Graphics (thelogocreative.co.uk) How Is Photogrammetry Used in Video Games? – PhotoModeler Photogrammetry is the process of extracting information from photographs. It starts with taking photographs and inputting them into a software, such as Recap by Autodesk.  Adjusting the settings to obtain either a measuring, 3d objects or a scene. Films such as The Matrix and Fight club have used this technique before, in Fight club, the scene in wich the parking has multiple destructive equipment, was done using 100s of images.  Fight Club (1999) - Computer Animation history-CGI! (jimdofree.com) The studios that worked on Death Stranding used photogrammetry to create a more accurate 3D character version of ...
