What are best AIs for game art? Both for scripting and content creating?
I wasted lots and lots of time this year trying to find anything useful for content creation. Models/textures/ decals/ just nice alpha for brushes . Contrary to all that internet buzz and doom scenarios I found really nothing . All AI can generate is maybe some phone games fancy art : 2d pictures for a fantasy style "find… -
Re: would a cheap prime lens improve photogrammetry on 24mp cam?
Yes I googled sharpest lenses . Those would be Sigma ones for sony e-mount and they are not that much expensive too. I just wonder if they do any difference vs this TTArtisan 23 mm or even kit lens when set at f/8 or f/5.6 I don't like too soft mesh details I get from a6000 with those apertures and it's definitely not a… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | January - February (100)
Managed to get the general base down for the environment and I wanna tackle the remaining parts in ZBrush. It's come out to around 40k polys with even edgeflow and support loops on most assets which could be dropped significantly if required. Considering however that higher detail will be baked and that modern specs allow… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
I uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch and made sure the files and preferences where gone. Then I grabbed a fresh download from your site and I noticed that it didn't totally reset the toolbar UI it just added some icons I had previously moved to another toolbar and hidden, most notably some of the snaps options. But… -
Re: Haunted House for my horror card game Desecrated Deck
Yes, totally, I still need to break that up. At the moment every piece of wood is baked from a highpoly, so none of the planks are just simple chamfered geometry yet. -
Re: Thickness for clothing in "Game Ready" models
Yeah it depends a ton on what the player’s most common viewing angle needs, what the total memory and frame rate budget is, and frankly what the milestones are (sometimes you get crazy timelines to finish things by, and some issues like backfaces disappearing, are just not important enough). Anyhow, studying how models are… -
Re: The BRAWL² Tournament Challenge!
Heck yeah! Was totally expecting for this to cook for a couple more weeks…so thanks @iam717 for all your efforts! I do wonder, however, if it would be better to pare back the scope a bit (as alluded in the discussion thread) to keep it more focused, and if nothing else, easier to organize and judge??? It’s an honest… -
Re: Guitar Hero 2
GH2 got all of the gameplay mechanics and extra features right. And totally fucked up the playlist. Wow. It seems like their only criteria for selecting songs this time through was how difficult the guitar section is. Nevermind whether the song is any good or not. I've got pretty wide tastes in music, and I loved the vast… -
Re: Am I stealing? Borrowing?....What did I do!?
I very much stand by what I think Jo Coenen once told me, he said to be a good designer you need to read the newspaper, look at other people's designs, and then do something else. Every piece of art does not stand on it's own but is part of the time sense, the art that is being made at that era and the marks of what has… -
Re: Nack: Single-Flash 16-bit Surface Scanning. Is Photogrammetry overkill for micro-details?
I totally feel you on Tandent LightBrush. It was legendary, but single-image decomposition is always a bit of a gamble because the math is fundamentally underdetermined.I'm taking a different path to avoid the 'bag of batteries' setup. My approach relies on multi-state lighting analysis. By capturing the delta between…
