nDo toning down some normal maps
I am currently using nDo and I dig it, but I am running into an issue with the software subduing my baked normal maps. My general work flow is that I bake out a normal map from a hi poly model and then bring that map into photoshop and carve out a little more detail using nDo. The problem with nDo 1 is that the normal maps… -
Re: Krogan (Mass effect) Alternate Design
Ok did a bit of refining here and there, decided to design some weapon instead of the simple wood stick. Decided to go with some kind of Naginata http://vampirewarzone.yolasite.com/resources/items_sohei_naginata.jpg to match the cloth that look a little bit like what samourai wear . the blade would be something like… -
Re: Sketchbook: Tiros
Just a little something I've been working on lately.. It's a box, as you can see, but not for weapons mind you. Gonna cut out some of that foam and shove some sort of egyptian statue or something in it. Just the highpoly so far. And those blue lines could be look-at constraints for the dampers.. or they could be… -
Re: PC-CSGO | Penetrator Atomics
My inspiration for this skin comes from 70-80s comics (SCI-FI) as well as guns from TV series and movies. For example, flash Gordon (….) Color coding is red (laser), blue (electricity), yellow (solar energy) and grey that represents a metal effect. I wanted my drawing to evoke nuclear energy. An Atom was drew at the back.… -

UDK generates the lightmap for this..it needs to know the UV space for the light..that is why the UV channel 1 thing is important...try shooting the chest with the guns laser...if you get burn marks you should be good...as for blender...try exporting the mesh without "write material" checked in the export>wavefront(.obj)… -
Re: What are the chances of a US/Canada based studio hiring entry level/junior artists with minimal exp?
There are plenty of uk studios, i know a couple big ones just opened up, one in leeds i think. Splash damage will probably be cranking out gears of war content for the next few years i would imagine. Tailor your portfolio to one of the many studios in the uk, and you will probably have a better chance of getting a job… -
Re: Modified M1911 - Critiques requested!
While it is meant to be a specific thing, an M1911 that was modified to fire lasers instead of bullets, I see your point. Even if I am going to make a modified pistol like this eventually, it's best I start with a model accurate to a real M1911, not only so the base is correct, but for the practice as well. I made it… -
Re: Bens Art Box :D
Cheers for the comments guys. BeserK - You are right about the doors, I based my scales off the character meshes and didnt test it until relatively late in the process. They are about forehead height at the moment which annoyed me at first. It IS gonna be portfolio so I will not punish myself but it was quite a shock at… -
Re: HD DVD vs Blue ray for games
What kind of regular DVD holds 15gb? The highest capacity DVD for the 360 is a dual layer DVD which holds roughly 9gb. Anyways, 9gb is plenty for 99% of the games you'll see on PS3/Wii/360. So many people are mislead about their statements concerning storage capacity because they base all their figures around the previous… -
Re: Sick of the quality of games (not gameplay related)
reminds me of the Age of Conan launch. It went great, until 3 weeks later when people realized that the release date didn't leave time for adding much content beyond the starter zone. The game never recovered from the bad press it got. One year later everything was fixed and working and the remaining players were happy,…
