Re: [WIP] Strawhart - 3D Game
Weekly Update #12 Hello and welcome everyone! This week I wanted to talk about a pretty common theme in 3D modeling: modularity. In Strawhart we use a modular approach to building levels. For those of you not familiar, it means that all of our major scene geometry snaps to a grid using predefined increments, and can be… -
Re: Rift goes to closed BETA! *Shameless Plug*
In regards to what Two Listen was saying: A lot of developers are going to shy away from making (intentionally) hideous female characters or weak males. This reminds me of when Blizz introduced the Blood Elf males in WoW and how there was an uproar over how slender they were (to put it kindly). Blizz gave in:… -
In-Development Indie MMORPGs
MMORPGs require years of hard work, both in the art and engineering departments. At the beginning, in the late 90's, MMO games were mostly innovation of the West, but nowadays, as far as I know, Korea, Japan and China are the countries that develop the largest chunk of modern AAA MMORPGs. Here in the US and Europe, the big… -
Re: Game Wizards WIP - DeadSkins, Grim Fate, Bullet Hell
The idea for Deadskins sounds great. Taking an interesting spin on the Team Slayer gametype with an interesting theme and visual style. I'm KEEN to see where these go, and how the environments progress. Could definitely see some interesting prop and set pieces coming out of this. Grim fate, just from looking at that… -
Re: Managing consistent texel density
I only worked for racing titles and couple last decades for just a single one actually . And no, consistent texel density is not the requirement . A car cockpit has smaller texel size than outside, then track surface , then outside terrain and track side objects. I recall we once had a calculator of how smaller texel size… -

I was going to give the windows a yellow emission but when I attempt to paint on the black details, they become washed out by the emission. Is there a way to paint these details… -
Re: Pior's workshop
Yeah sharing information is always a pleasure, and it's always beneficial on both ends so that's great :) I have a whole lot of questions about Dota myself, and I am sure that I'll find all my answers here given how dedicated everyone seems to be :) GhostD : not sure what you mean by that - do you mean, what happens after… -
Re: FPS Hand-to-Hand Combat
Some of the games mentioned look like they have some solid mechanics, Mount & Blade looks interesting. But to me they still all look to...floaty...haha...No real weight to it. Too much hit & run type stuff. I'm obsessed with the look and feel of things. An idea I thought might work is simplifying the whole thing a bit.… -
Prayer Bridge, Modularity
Hey guys! Here's a bridge I'm working on in order to learn modularity. When I am done, I am going to reuse the pieces to create something else (not sure what yet, but I'm thinking something along the lines of a courtyard). So far I have my model snapped together in UDK, and I am working on the textures. I am treating some… -
A few questions about gloss maps, blend layer and the detail map
Where do I load the gloss map? Do I put it in the alpha channel of the normal map and save the cry tiff as NormalWithGlossInAlpha_highQ? Is there any difference if I put it in the alpha channel of the spec? What about the gloss map for the blendlayer? There's no second gloss slot for that either, so just put it in the…
