Re: Multiple textures in one image file - pages of a book
I think a hybrid method that's a mix of what @JordanN and @bitinn explained is the way to go, but instead of mesh decals like originally in that Doom 3 effect, I would cut the page around the bounding rectangles of every element (so the decals are part of the page, rather than decals on top) and use different materials on… -
Re: Concept to environment: Wasteland Waystation
if you do it wisely you can get away with two draw calls one for the main texture and one for the decals.... you could use a second layer in your shader too, which makes the sahder more expensive but saves on draw calls... but i would say that then the entire container becomes more expensive to draw...i would go for the… -
Dealing with the perspective struggle - please point out why I can't nail this down
Straightup: hands are the bane of my existence. Worse off, tauren hands are the Satan of my existence. I am struggling with this one, particularly nailing down *her* right hand and getting the perspective right.

Re: Dreaming city environment composition questions

How do Publishers/Developers deal with this?
I never realized something like this before. You know when games come out and there are always region differences? Like using a real example, I saw a game where one set of DLC costumes was only available in one country but not the rest. And the reasons being possibly intentional (i.e avoiding controversy because of culture… -
Houdini vs MCG 3dmax vs Sverchok/ Blender vs Cinema4d?
What's state of procedural geometry creation in modern 3d packages ? Where it's more artist friendly ? I am talking not about some complex particle effects but rather typical procedural environment generation ? Starting form something as trivial as alternating wall blocks , building modules along a splines or sketch… -
Re: Adding bullet holes that may span UV boundries
A decal is usually a new, unique piece of geometry that's spawned just above the surface. Whatever's behind it has no effect on the decal itself - the decal just draws on top. -
