Re: Gears of War PSP Character
Heya dude right, before you do any more modelling, take a render of your dude at 480x272 with him at the size you'd expect to see him- that is the resolution of the PSP Also, just because the PSP is a handheld, it doesn't mean you have to be tight with your polycounts- you could easily get away with a 1500 tris character… -
Re: ps2 asset budget help?
At once place I worked the coders decided to shrink the textures without telling us. They played with shrinking, played with bit depth. "What have you done to the textures?" nothing... "You have...look..banding everywhere!" I can't see any banding... "Look, you've bloody done something!" Turns out they were downsampling to… -
Re: faking an HDR image from a single photo
Putting any HDR bitmaps into a game is not applicable yet as they are 32bit images so you eat up the texture ram quick. Emitting light from a texture can be done with a 4bit image no need for HDR and reflections as well. The only reason to use an HDR image for either is you get way more levels of intensity, so you still… -
Re: tga to 16 colors?

Re: let's talk about sextures... i mean textures =)
Depends on the game I am working on, but right now I work at 4 times the final resolution, so I work at 1024x512 and scale down to 512x256, then sharpen the texture 100% and the difference between the scaled down version is not noticeable at all in game. It depends on the art I think, last year on SSX3 we painted all the… -
Re: Can Maya do transparency in the viewport?
On the game I am currently working on we save 32bit .tga with alpha channel included these get converted to 8bit colour in the pipe, or 4bit if you want. I'm an environment artist though not a character artist so I could imagine the process would be quite different depending on your render engine and what pipe makes sense…
