Re: New Character. I heart Tauren
I think that is mostly due to the UV's. I use Roadkill to lay out my UV's and it really does a great job of minimizing stretching and shrinking. To create the normal map on this guy I used Zmapper in Zbrush. I created the low poly first and laid out the UV's and brought it into Zbrush to sculpt. Then I took it back down to… -
Re: Modular design within games.
ScottJ that paper was a great read, thanks :poly142: If you're going to revise it maybe replace all commas with periods?

Re: "Use Pivot Point Center" in Maya equivalent
i dunno if everyone just skipped over claydough's solution or what. :poly121: for many issues this is pretty fantastic, claydough!

The function I'm trying to emulate is the 'Connect' command from Maya, the way it works is if you select two verts on a face an edge will… -
Re: Anime hair/connected hair geometry
Another trick here is to realize these models were created mostly in quads, with edge-loop modeling tools. Then converted into triangles before export to the game, and edited further to improve the new triangle edges. One of a gazillion "blender extrude" search results: -
Re: A stab at Hand painted textures
looking great! now lets look at those stones. they are feeling kinda flat. how about doing this: -create a layer, and set it to "screen" -with a medium SOFT brush, poke the surface a few times with a color that is the same as the stone, but with some warm color added to it. like an orange/grey. -It is gonna look way too…
