Re: Mythic Tomb - Michael R.
You are now in a struggle to death against Birdmans tomb: http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=198587&an=0&page=0#Post198587 First thing I would do is look over your polydistribution and redistribute some of them to match the style of the concept better. Take another look at the concept, much of what makes… -
What do you make of this AI texturing tool?
As a working artist in the VFX/Game Industry; I was sharing with a friend a piece of work that had been produced by an AI from a Youtube video and he as a working modeler became concerned seeing huge part and swathes of his work being automated; specifically as an artist in smaller mobile/independant studio. The video in… -
Re: Making simpler dxt texture makes it higher quality?
Not quite... the texture gets chunked up into small grids. There's an algorithm that then tries to preserve the gradient of colours across that grid (and at the same time, it compresses the depth of those colours down - red and blue more so than green because the human eye is apparently more finely tuned to green light and… -
Re: Blended normals hack for fake SSS
In addition, Image-based reflections (env maps) are technically closer to 'specular' and more physically correct than what most games use. "Specular" is a fake concept used to make up for our inability to diffuse light and reflections in real-time. Cubemaps are also more expensive than specular. So your analogy really… -

Handplane Baker Notes * When trying to do a test bake - I had made and named all the bake groups I would require, but some of these were empty. When trying to do the test bake I got an error “Baker configuration invalid. Unable to proceed with bake.” Removing the empty bake groups fixed the error, but it would be better if… -

Re: Take action
[ QUOTE ] Honestly, the entire design is shit, not just the smiley. [/ QUOTE ] With such a bold and defining statement such as this, including the criticism of the "smiley" that was the defining Polycount symbol during the Dominance War, I'd expect the rest of the post to be statements supporting this declaration...… -
Re: ArenaNet Character Art Internship
@winf : I agree with most of your points as to where the armor falls and such, but as I mentioned I'm trying to build the armor around the exact proportions of the in-game character model, and there are certain conflicts between that and the concept piece (namely that the breasts of the concept piece come down much farther… -
Re: Casual Bakery
Awesome croissant sculpt! I agree with Joopson that the wood texturing is noisy, its taking away from the great sculpt imo. I think the concept you're working with is appealing because of how clean it is, its got a lot of focus on color+shape with bigger stylized details. Of course, if you're going for a more stylized PBR… -
Solved: How to change baked object space normal map direction?
Hi! I'm sort of new to DDO but i found my way to the effect properties that use object space normal masking to apply directional effects. When i open up the settings for it, the problem is that changing the sliders seems weird. I think it's easier if i just say what my spefific problem is. I have my dirt layer go on the…
