Re: downloading xNormal right now....any tips would...
There's a very good Help file included in the download ... take a look at the PDF. Also take a look back in this forum a page or so to find a thread with a long title like "normalmap/ambiocc generator" started by Crazybutcher ... it's a very long thread but does contain some tips and ideas too, if the PDF help file doesn't… -
Re: 3dCodex.com - Critiques and Ideas
At the risk of reducing ad targeting, I'm moving toward an AJAX model that lets you sort through the list of tutorials live. Does this sound like something that would appeal to you guys? I also added a textbox that contains a URL to the slice of the codex you've filtered for. You an bookmark it, or send it along to someone… -
Re: i <3 healing brush
Personally I would really like to see a dedicated 2d tool for texture artists. Right now photoshop is too many different things to too many people. It contains a large portion of features that I never use (as a texture artist) and becomes more bloated with every release. I think we have really a reached a saturation point… -
Re: Game Design Education in Toronto
I know this is tired advice, but why not try looking for a traditional art school that could get you a fine arts or illustration degree. If you want to work in games, you're already doing the right thing by posting your work over here and getting feedback. The forums contain the most up to date discussion on game tech -… -
Re: Getting out of a creative black hole
I usually play old games for motivation, the games which don't have awesome graphical capabilities but contain definitely beautiful artwork(like the Legend of Kyrandia series( http://www.abandonia.com/ )). Manga is sometimes very inspiring for me too. The other day I handled Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Very interesting… -
Re: Claffy D's Deepest of Grindlifts
Thought I'd save the community at large a few hours and post the three worthwhile, non-art containing posts in this 10 page thread: Killing people obviously wins straight out. If only for the Super Mario reference. Praise showering posts are ok too. ;P Love the work guys, you guys must have worked so damn hard. So many… -
Re: Uh Oh... (ActivisionBlizzard rant inside)
i just find it absolutely mind boggling how people complain nonstop about a 15 dollar map pack that contains 5 maps but have no trouble paying 25 dollars for a blue see-through horse, that you can sit on just because "its blizzard". The money still goes to execs, doesnt matter if its kotick or whoever else. average… -
Re: what exactly is an environmental map?
I wouldn't say dead wrong, just incomplete. "imagine the envmap containing a sphere"? That would confuse me. I'd say instead that one should imagine the envmap being mapped onto the inside of a sphere. When you have a model that has an envmap reflection, each pixel of the surface has that imaginary envmap sphere centered… -
Re: East's mixed bag
Hehe, the armour pads have unfortunately changed to a more simple version. They were too bulky, and as I'm trying to keep this guy somewhat agile-looking, they had to be simplified. They will be getting more detailed, though. Just not more bulky. So, I started added some equipment and a few placeholder containers. Skipping… -
Re: Welcome to the post VT Shooting world
this is going to far, but then School administrations have been characterized by hysteria and knee jerk defensiveness. They cannot control the causes of said violence so they make a symbolic gesture against simulated violence and uses the fear of parents to back it up. Our favorite Lawyer Jack Thompson is allready…
