Re: Sci-Fi Corridor (yes, one more!)
The first crit that comes to mind is believable wear. Even a pristine, or "clean" environment has to have a believable amount of grunge and wear. Unless this shot is taken 45 minutes after construction, there is going to be a lot more detail in the Spec and Gloss map than what I'm seeing right now. Again, even if you are… -
Re: Xan Kriegor
Your maps are huge. The final in-game characters for Gears of War use on average 2 512x512 sheets (total of 1024x512 for each diffuse/spec/normal), maximum of two 1024x1024 sheets (total of 1024x2048) for each whole character. Their source art was 2 2048x2048 maps, but those aren't used in game for memory saving reasons… -

Re: Piracy...
piracy isn't a pricing problem, and is only partially a service problem. the service part comes in when you can get a better quality product from a pirated copy, such as no DRM, or in the case of a movie not having to sit through fucking ads and FBI warnings when you payed for your copy. So that there is completely the… -
Re: Current Generation Modelling and Texturing Techniques, 2013/14
I disagree. Triangles are cheapest way to improve your model, and are least important resource you have. If you can reduce shader (material) complexity by using more triangles. Do so!. If you can can reduce amount of textures used by increaseing tri amount. Do it! If you can better normal map, by adding more triangles. Do… -
Re: nDo2 lag
Teddy, the machine i was using to run dDo previously was: i7 2600k @ 3.2Ghz, (4 cores/8 threads) 16GB Ram @ 1.6Ghz, AMD 6970 2gb. the machine i built yesterday, and tested dDo on today is: i7 3930k @ 3.6Ghz (6 cores/12 threads) 32 GB Ram @ 1.8Ghz nVidia GTX670 2gb. dDo lags like a pig in a bear trap when using maps of 4k.… -
Re: Importance of BA vs. BA [ Hons.]
This thread isn't about a degree vs no degree. Its about a bachelor of arts degree vs a bachelor of arts degree with honors. While that may have some importance in other industries, it has absolutely none in the gaming industry. Maybe it would be a very small consideration if you needed a visa to work in a different… -
Re: Lack of motivation
I've always thought motivation is very similar to the act of conditioning your mind. Bare with me on this... A little abstract, but not that far off would be using the example of Pavlov and his dog. Initially, If he rang a bell.. nothing happens, but.. if he rings the bell while giving food to the dog.... There's now this… -
Re: environment project - handpainted dungeon/forge
The texture looks pretty good so far. I was going to say it looked like it needed some more hue variation, but the Maya view looks like it has a good amount. I don't do a lot of environment art, but I've tried painting a wall texture before and know how tough it is to get the right amount of variety without being…
