Re: First steps with normal maps
Yes, I made two errors : making the mane flat and triangulate the model before exporting. xNormal requires the model to be triangulated, but ZBrush doesn't seem to like it... Should I use the AO map for the diffuse and just color it ? It totally makes sense. And this way I can add more polygons where I need (when I… -
Re: Best way to model these gun parts?
Thanks for all the replies! Eq, that's awesome, I completely forgot about chamfering vertices. I was thinking 'hmm if I could get a diamond pattern going on then I could figure it out from there' then saw your post and it all became clear! Glib, your method rocks too, and having two ways to do it should allow me to knurl… -
Re: UE4 - The Lost Gate
@hublus Thank you for your reply. I'm working on a little more context. I'm making a trodden path up to the gate (or I might move it coming down behind, and then stopping at the gate. As if many wanderers have entered but never came out the other side. Hopefully with the improved sconces and general atmosphere, that will… -
Re: Am I just kicking a dead horse?----Portfolio critique.
Hey Nikolai, I think you have a good foundation here so don't get down on yourself. Sometimes you just need to be persistent in the wake of rejection (or getting ghosted -which sucks!) and let that motivate you to keep pushing. That said I think there's some things that can be done in how you're presenting work and in the… -

Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
I don't believe that was saying that victims shouldn't seek legal redress, but that it's often futile to do so and many don't have they money for lawyers or the energy to fight it. Also, the call to cultivate culture isn't to execute punishment, it's to create a space where the victims aren't automatically blamed for what… -
Re: Do quads matter when detaching to element?
So. I am his partner, and let me explain why and how everything will works. Because of the problems with baked meshes in udk( we know there are methods to reduce the artifacts but they cant be 100% fixed) we try a new approach to have smooth looking. We will make supported but optimized meshes (everything will be welded… -
Re: Ysalex new portfolio construction thread
I dont hate you, I really appreciate your willingness to chime in. I get what you are saying. I made this choice this time to make a compromise on structure. To summarize the three (four?) options I have used and tried now to structure, here we go: 1 - Thumbnails on the front page. I get why people do this, and this is… -
Re: 3ds Max CE3 UVW Rotation of Bitmap Issue
You bet - heres what I have so far: In max I imported this bridge which is out of an old game and so at some point the textures were uvw mapped. See bridge - two materials under a multi sub object. The picture below is the o_nvabridge_m1 and the second sub material is a proxy which is a solid color. As you can see - in Max… -
