Re: Pimping and Preview forum
Judging by the Low Poly thread, which clearly states < 1000 tris and yet has many posts of well over that, people will not adhere to any sort of guidelines when pimping work. Personally, I don't think we need to splinter the forum any more than it is. I would agree with you if any of these threads without comments had zero… -
Re: A short explanation about custom vertex normals (tutorial)
Hey, thats Doom 3 is it not? Did you work on D3? Loved that game. Played through like 3 times. Looks like that first main area just after where you get scanned As far as performance goes. I think normal maps will be around for a long time, but hopefully more automated and intuitive. Resolution, AA, Field of view,… -
Re: Character Concepts !
Hey @Zpohm , I like your proportion and design :) I'm no expert, so take what I say with a grain of salt. The side view for the knight lady feels off, her sword could be more interesting also. Their arms are a bit short, I think the proportions are elbow at navels level. (working on my fantasy proportions myself :) )… -
Re: Facial Anatomy Practice
It would be more simple to practice a neutral pose with all of the necessary views. Your #1 priority right now should be on practicing proportions properly. This means that you should have reference from all view points and don't get too caught up on color/detail. Just a few things that stick out to me. The neck is too… -
Re: Morrigan WIP
Torso needs work as it flows into the hips, the width from the front view just varies way too much. The shoulder width is fine, as is the hip width, but the area in between needs to flow better. She also looks a bit wide in the upper body in the side profile view. I'd suggest bringing the back inwards a bit, and also the… -
Re: Common shadow setups for mobile games?
Yes, that is very likely. Old school method... only render-to-texture the most visible meshes, discard everything small, use simpler shaders, etc. You could also look into dual-paraboloid reflection mapping. Then you're only rendering two views. Up/down or back/front. There's a noticeable seam sometimes, but usually not… -
Re: Maya Hotkeys - Bane of my workflow.
That's probably best if it works. I did a bit more searching now, someone made the connection between menu accelerator hotkeys and this issue. Using shift-A for a marking menu, it works, until the Window menu is pulled up, which lists "Frame in All Views" = shift-A. Even re-binding within this session fails. Commenting… -
Re: New CryEngine with Physically Based Shading
Besides what iniside said, Crytek used actual RGB textures for their PBR. The only tool you would really need is the Macbeth chart I believe, at least for working with actual textures and not values. Ideally, you just have to get the textures to be at the physically correct value range and be done. They also viewed all… -
Re: 360 seamless pattern projection using an alpha in zbrush or sp
What you're asking isn't possible. Projection painting is view/camera dependent. So as the distance from the camera falls away from perpendicular to parallel the texture projection will eventually 'smear' as it crosses the viewing threshold.(Mari has edge-masking to avoid this) You could use radial symmetry in ZB on… -
Re: Modeling from Reference, How?
Depends how many references you have. If you have top front and side just build a three sided box of planes with the reference images mapped on each. When you look through the orthographic views you will see the top reference.in the top view, side in the side, etc. Just start filling the space in the reference.with your…
