Hello all. I am currently working on a character and I want it to have pixel textures. I am confused about how to straighten uvs. I am currently trying it with this simple mesh, but whenever I try to straighten it, it looks deformed and you can see the stretching on the checker map. I tried different values of the… -

Master Material Starter Kit
Hey everyone! I've been working on a new project in UDK and set up a Master Material just to get everything started. While there are many wonderful examples of master materials on the web, there aren't very many that have been released for download, so here we go! UPDATE: 8/17/2013 Quick update for today.

Re: Blender Edit Mode Performance
Yeah, a screenshot of the UI or preferentially a video would help to understand what's happening and what's unacceptable performance for you. Here for example I'm on a scene with 2m tris and take barely a second to switch to edit mode on a 700k object on my old computer - and I'm okay with that -, while it can take over 3s… -
Re: All Gone - Abandoned Interior Environment (critique needed)

Re: Naija (Aquaria) - ZBrush Sculpt
Ah, I loved Aquaria. I think you're off to a very solid start here, but you need to take a step or two back and develop and detail up the body and costume.

But very often we have to tweak models during the building, revisit the concept and design, change something for easier animation etc. I would say it's more often 3 weeks from concept to finished and working in game. Of course… -
Re: Seek Professional Opinion for Environment Artist Career Decision
Schools are happy to take money from you, but they don't guarantee they'll get all students a job. Those examples you posted is proof of that. Students can submit anything during class and a teacher has no choice but to pass it along. In reality, those renders are very far away from getting noticed by a professional… -
