Re: this makes me sick
While my following statement isn't from a game art perspective, but rather a freelance design/development perspective, it is pertinent to the conversation in regards to the risk of being undercut from other artists, and what sets you as an artist apart from them. There is more to producing something for a client that just… -
Re: COD: Black Ops
On the topic of dedicated servers: Ranked servers ( which net you exp and money) have limited admin control, you can change gamemodes, have 18 players (like on console) and kick people (possibly ban) and they come with VAC. Unranked servers can have 24 players, lets you muck about with settings and all that jazz, but you… -
Advanced Question: Complex Triple AAA, Sci-fi ninja multi-sub tool character setup/workflow?
Hello, I am an intermediate user of 3d programs. Been working on 3DS Max, Zbrush, 3D coat, used Marmoset Toolbag and Keyshot. And have been learning Unreal Engine 4 lately. And as of yet have been able to do some mediocre to good renders and intermediate sculpts. Including organic figures, clothed characters, robots, basic… -
Re: Questions about Materials/Shaders and Textures
My 2 cents: In my experience, the texture part really depends on the texture size, and the budget, and its really easy to track with the profiler. In modern/AAA games you can aim a pretty high buget nowadays, around 2-3-4 gb of video memory overall, with quality settings in mind - Even some games will tell you that it uses… -

Automating quad topology for dense meshes (workflow discussion)
I’ve been working on quad remeshing workflows for animation and game assets, specifically around edge flow consistency and deformation safety. Most automatic remeshers are fine for previews, but I kept running into problems on denser meshes where diagonals and uneven flow made rigging unpredictable. Below is a before/after… -
I'm lazy, so i make photoshop actions
So when I work on next gen crap with spec maps and junk, I usually complain about working on the spec map. I would like to eliminate as much back and forth as possible. When you work on a diffuse map you have a decent idea of how it will look on the model, what colors you'll get etc. But with your spec it's kinda like,… -
Re: [Painter] Performance, Painting, and Height L32F
Hi, So let me answer some points regarding your video as I see some misunderstanding (not your fault to be honest, some things in Substance Painter are not always very clear unfortunately). Also some technical knowledge can be required to understand Substance Painter the best possible and get the maximum performances. -… -
Re: help exporting UV's
I have a pretty complex way of handling this but it works, here are the settings I use for textporter. Make sure the save the image as a TGA as you don't want to get any nasty alias pixels you get with other formats. I then have a photoshop action that does a color selection on the pink UV lines, makes a new set & layer,… -
Re: Yet Another Handpainted Weapon
Your texture is pretty flat and desaturated, you could add more color variation, the highlights could also be accentuated quite a bit. Take a look at this armor set: http://www.noobtalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/world-of-warcraft-tier-10-armor-sets-warrior-large.jpg The highlights make the armor pop more, also on the…
