Re: question about hidden obj games
It looks like their games just use pre-rendered backgrounds is all. Are they actually 3D? Mark Dygert might be able to chime in more on the process, as he works on similar games at HER Interactive. But to me, it looks like pre-rendered backgrounds built from high poly meshes. Since the camera does not rotate around the… -
Re: PM's Environment studies...
I haven't tried too much of modular pieces in UT3, but aren't, say, 16 meshes with 256 shadowmaps are as heavy on memory and calculations as 1 mesh with 1024 shadowmap? In any case, for this building a shadowmap can be even 1024. Ideally 2048, but it may come out not bad with 1024. For even better result UVs for shadow map… -
Re: The Dark Knight
I think part of the reason why sub_roland swears by the animated series version of the Joker portrayed by Mark Hamill is that that version of the Joker is very true to the entire "clown" theme, while being brutal and sadistic at the same time. You don't always get to see exactly how dark he can be in the cartoons episodes,… -

Re: Why Substance Designer feels so outdated.
Thanks poopipe for you opinion . I agree that dependency management is something that sure works there when you spend some of your energy on keeping it all consistent . The problem SD forces it on you while in many other soft including Blender it works other way too, nothing is forced on you and it's what I call… -

XGen region problem
I've been making eyelashes in XGen and they look fine...until I mirrored the guides. I have already tried making region maps (red and blue) and changing the value of Region Mask to 1, but it doesn't seem to do anything. In case anyone asks, yeah, I already saved the region map. It isn't doing anything. Suggestions? -
Fellow Environment artists? Is Zbrush/Mudbox really worth the effort?
Hi All Just wanted to ask other game environment artists about your thoughts on using zbrush ,mudbox ,etc as a primary tool for creating textures for environments. I`m asking because i`ve been working in the field for about 20 years and i`m still not convinced about the workflow of zbrush,etc in creating textures. Yes I… -
