sprunghunt: Interesting. Though the point about Photoshop giving values in gamma space is confusing. My version appears to give RGB127 as mid gray and not RGB186. I tried copying their example images into photoshop to see if I could replicate their results. The second image doesn't seem to give a value of 0.08 at all (even…
Thank you for your patience. Keep in mind I'm a hobbyist (not developer) so please small words ;) , I was able to follow your directions tho. Thank you Last few questions, then you can cut me loose. I now have my original image and several windows named BaseMaterial (Normal). All good there, but how do I combine those…
[ QUOTE ] The problem werent my reflections, it was the HDRI map the light from the window was causing it. just need to get shadows in the scene now. [/ QUOTE ] This seems to be the most believable image out of the bunch so far for me. Of course there are some highly super slick polished wood surfaces out there, but how…
I see great things for this viewer. Official pimping tool of Polycount. Any chance of getting some texture refresh buttons in there? Or checkboxes next to the textures you want automatically refreshed when they are updated outside the viewer? I'd like to use this as part of my texturing workflow. As for modeling formats,…
There's a distinction between manipulating actual artwork and stealing an idea. But I think identifying the 2 is down to personal interpretation. To me the "acceptable?" image is fine. A little too inspired by the original image (I understand the point being made, though), but fine. The "bad" image is unacceptable from the…
First thing I notced was... 1.gray background, green text (I think you can do more with color on your page to make it more interesting and pop a little better. More values, more hues. I'm not talking about making your site look like a rainbow, but I'm thinking you can do more with more greys and more greens. Think about…
OK so here's the project. it's a personal project for university, and what has been is how re-imaging a character from a tale affect it's design for games. then re-imagining a character of my choosing. I chose Aladdin for my re-interpretation. think enslaved:odyssey to the west if you want to know what i mean by…
What does make a character concept artist good? (Besides he visualizes the idea of clients) I try to answer my own question, if am wrong at any point please correct me, or add other thought to this topic. I know that forum is more about 3D not about 2D, regardless I hope for some good input! There is nothing that is…
The Brief Four ruggedly handsome Polycount members started chest bumping, things got out of hand and they decided to settle their feud the old fashioned way: Create a character that looks more awesome than the others. To keep things civilized, the four have decided to work with the common theme Shadowrun and to make a…
First of all awesome, its a Supra! Now for automotive work you model the car mid poly, I have never seen automotive work going through high and low poly. Due to the nature of car's curvature shifts and mostly flat areas. Usually you bake the mid poly car onto itself to get the required maps. Having said that vehicles that…
