Re: Demon
Looking pretty good...I agree with poop..be careful about the extreme details on his torso and most definately check the mesh smoothed it all helps, also I would perhaps suggest making the are of the horns a bit bulkier where it meets the head at the moment it works in the concept and would be be cool reflected on the… -
Re: Minotaur head model
Yea, keep that in mind, the eyes make the model . And I notice a few skinmapping errors, like the horn has a line from a darker tone on one side, they should be even on both. I think it looks cool, but I think the skin needs to be more defined and sharp, it looks little muky atm. -
Re: nDo - Normal creation toolkit
This is fantastic, definitely going to be using this a lot, what a great time saver :) . Have you ever though of using curves for defining how the bevel looks like? That could make the tool a lot more powerful! You could create some very interesting geometry with more complex bevel curve profiles :) -
Re: [Portfolio] - Adam Boyes, Vehicle Artist
Definately sort out the backgrounds, studio guys looking to hire I don't think are very forgiving and would just move on. As I am not, I plodded on ^^ and I think the content is quite good, I agree on the the 2k texture sizes, but overall once the changes are done, it will look good. Good luck! -
Re: seams and normal maps
Also, if your engine has problems displaying the normals correctly with seams, it helps to have the offending edges as parallel to each other as possible, best horizontally or vertically, and to have them running in places where the lowpoly is quite close to the highpoly anglewise, so it's working more as a bumpmap than… -
Re: environmental art
our artists make every environment piece modular which really helps designing levels so much easier. Plus i think the unreal engine prefers more smaller meshes than big complex meshes. Having browsed through the UT demo, they definately make good use of this process. -
Re: Props for Montezuma, a TF2 map
Pretty cool man, I wanna see this as a melee weapon. Maybe a substitute for the Pyros flamethrower. I agree with Vig about the larger brush strokes and details. The ringed design could be larger and less defined. You could probably put the entire texture on a 128x512 or smaller and it would still hold up. -
Re: assault rifle
hi thanks for the feedback EQ. I wasn't really trying to make anything for a first person game, but I definately get your point. The gun I designed was meant to be very boxy like a mac 10. I think on my next gun I will go for a FPS view and concept it with that in mind. -
Re: What is Vertex Weight?
in general if you hear about weights it usually means that something will be associated with a number value, usually between 0 and 1. So if you have vertex A and vertex B, and you have Arm and Foot, if vertA has 0.2 weight to Arm and 0.8 weight to foot, it will go more towards the foot. And vertB has weights like Arm = 1… -
Lowpoly to lowpoly (?) workflows
Hello there! I've been meaning to ask about that long time ago: can you recommend any techniques or workflows fitting for a model that does not have any high-poly source mesh available? In particular, I'm very interested to know about the following: * First question: ambient occlusion baking. Are there any caveats or…
