Re: simple question about normal maps in maya
In most cases it's easier to make the low once you've finished the high (through retopologoy often), except if you're already sure of the shapes and don't plan on changing them much. But there's no strict way of doing things, test around until you get a feel for how things work best for you. -
Re: N-1 Starfighter Scene
Wanted to see the model then? Here we go :) Next step is to cut down on the bloom except for the planet. And then it should look much better, But I must say textures are needed for this, It looks like a toy at the moment without textures. But if I'm going to texture it I'm going to have to make the low poly. -
Re: TORONTO MEETUP - July 27 - Need numbers!!!
speaking of no seats, dont you guys spend like an hour inside and the rest of the night outside? I'd love to appear but as sir Stephen told me last time, "everyone is invited except for you Nitewalkr." So good luck with your gathering guys. Looking forward to see them pics. :) -
Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
Often something might be clean and not have anything special with the diffuse texture, but can have variations by changing the specular areas, showing the worn areas. Like rough plastic might get smooth from lot of wear, but you cant really see it except from the light reflecting from it, the shininess. -

Re: Weekly Substance Challenge
Hello! For this week, I'm trying to create a little background around the texture proposed. Still wip, but I want it to share it with you :) The render is in UE4, wanted to try the vertex color material blend (on the walls). All the materials are done for this challenge, with the exception of the pipe, it's a variation of… -
Re: Question about normals, UVs and smoothing groups
Just to add a bit more humor to the CryEngine situation.... http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/COMMUNITY/xNormal+Plugin An Xnormal CryEngine tangent basis plugin was actually released a while back, except the problem is that it most likely uses the same calculations as whatever polybump does so it doesn't actually sync up. -
Re: UDK Overgrown Greenhouse Environment (Need Feedback)
Some updated shots. Revisited the vertex painting on everything except the foliage, still need to go back and visit the dead plants. Fixed the grass made it a lot smaller and less intrusive. Cant figure out how to keep god rays while using tiledshot. So the images are just screengrabs -
Re: Space Vagabonds Assaulter - WIP (crits needed)
Amazing work BigErn. Exceptional. He reminds me one of these guys from bomb squads with a little bit of appleseed :) thanks for sharing! i would add a bit more weathering to the guy overall. some slightly darker wear on his shoulders perhaps like you did to his kneepads. -
Re: Zbrush. I give up. Will pay someone to do the UVs for me
honestly thats looking pretty good for a first try. I think my advice for you is dont worry about it that much. everything is gonna be horrible in the beginning, and youl get better and better with time. there will always be flaws in your models and things you want to improve. the sooner you except that the better.
