Re: Monitors - For 3D and Gaming
I'm not a fan of that monitor resolution, because you really aren't going to get as much screen real estate compared to one or even 2 1440p monitors for the same price. The comparable to 1440 resolution ultrawides are 3440x1440, but LGs costs $1,300. Of course lower resolution is easier to drive for games, but working… -
Re: Worn wood textures
Tutorials for texturing kind of teach you backwards. Trying to learn X material should be setup up in so and so fashion. You end up with only the how and not the why, which is far more important. If you have to ask your self 'how how do I get my material to look like X', then you probably don't really understand what… -
Modular objects & Texturing
Actually i have concern regarding modular walls in UDK and I'll try to make it as simple as i can: When we make modular walls it results in having few objects that we can merge in scene to quickly make buildings of various shape and size and its really cheap on resources as it only uses one texture sheet of reasonable size… -
Question about skeletal construction - arms
hey folks. i'm trying to do what XSI users might call setting up a counter-rotation null on an arm bone. if you hold your forearm out in front of you, with your uper arm down, and rotate your upper arm so that your forearm swings out, you'll notice that your upper arm by your shoulder moves not at all, but your upper arm… -

Re: Character and Enviroment freelance fee's
I've probably employed around 60 *freelance* (not studio) contractors in the last year for art, audio, and code, and the standard practice we used was basically get their hourly rate which is usually variable based on experience, and sometimes project, rush/not rush, etc. I've noticed most people always seem to value… -
Need help with Xnormal backing
Hello , I am trying to bake a normal map in Xnormal ... this is the process I am doing ... I modeled my high poly version , then retopologized a new model over it with topogun , imported in 3dsmax , fixed all seams arranged the textures and uvmaps on a doubled side area along the X axis so to have adaptation to a texture… -
Re: CGMA Mod Environment WIP Thread
@Sage - Thank you :) Based on some feedback of the initial wall meshes that I had blocked out at 300 x 300 (and alternative pieces at 300 x 600, 300 x 150, etc.) I've adjusted the walls now to tile around a 400 x 400 measurement to make it easier to work with the textures and trim sheets. I re-imported the some of the… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
Yeah they are cool and simple. Here are the codes if anyone wants to play... Mandelbrot set: float2 z = 0; float2 c = 0; c = float2 ((coord.x -0.5) * scale - center.x,(coord.y-0.5) * scale - center.y); z = c; for (int i = 0; i < iter; i++) { float x = (z.x * z.x - z.y * z.y) + c.x; float y = (z.y * z.x + z.x * z.y) + c.y;… -
Re: Trying to align vertices
I must be missing something, cause it sounds like this is being ridiculously over-complicated. If you have some verts that you want aligned vertically, all you'd do is select them, then hit Make Planar X. That's 1 operation. If you want them to be vertical, but also have them at X-zero, you'd hit Make Planar X, then right…
