Re: Question about displacement maps
thank you for the time you take to write these replies. I don't take it personally , i am not here to argue with anyone and i kinda felt bad that one thing i said came out perhaps in a negative way. I understand you guys didn't have youtube or many sites giving info on the subject but i dont think you had so many… -

Re: Looking for Dimensions
I was hoping there would be more options outside of google. On cgarchitect someone referred me to the architectural graphic standard book but no website. It's difficult for me to gauge measurements from a concept sketch or the latest next gen game.I know environment artists have to do this all the time.I was hoping for a… -
Re: Polyviewer Ideas
Some interesting ideas and suggestions. Visualizing splits in the uv and such would be possible as well as exploding out the mesh into it's uv coordinates. I have issues seeing the purpost/point of supporting smoothing groups as it's only really supported with 3dsmax. I know there are lots of max users, but when it comes… -
Re: Jack Sparrow
Only thing thats wrong is a good lighting setup. ATM its looking more "Kreed" than next gen, i.e. normals are looking black instead of lit, which really destroys the model. Other than that, crits: #I'll go with the hands being a bit strange, although again this may be because of the odd lighting setup. #The jacket in… -
Re: Scifi portfolio level, UDK
Hey, responding from your DA note. First things first. Post a shot of your uv's and the wireframe model so we can see what we're working with. Also, even with today's next gen systems, 2048xanything is pretttty huuuge for a door like that. If I understand your question correctly, you want to use the same uv space, but have… -
Re: Red Octane and Underground Development shut down
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
With as many medium-to-large studios shutting down or cutting back as there are, it looks like there's actually a boom of tiny studios opening up who don't touch AAA current-gen projects at all and specialize in either iPhone development, shovelware, or online games based on social networking sites like Facebook. I don't… -
Re: 80 Games
So with next gen games costing 60 bucks a piece and dev costs going up who is making all the money? I know the developers aren't getting paid. From what I understand, based on the hours developers work to put these games together, you could probably work at KFC at the same hourly rate that most developers are getting paid.… -
Re: First time poster
Personally I don't think it is a bad exercise. It really shows you how hard it is to model that whole bastard and get it all to fit within the texture space. Fit all 2 stories top to bottom..the ground and sidewalk..all the little pieces into a 1024 texture. Do a great job on and then tell me it was easy. Normal mapping… -
Re: caltech environment model
Cheers Daz, spinning on the floor, hehe. I do like Lores suggestion, but I won't get to it till tomorrow, got a gig today. I took a ton of reference pics since I walked around the quad for days. It does need trash cans, and litter and a few more chairs. This is "next gen" cause each chair is 800 tris. Ha. I had alpha…
