Re: Normal Maps: Can someone explain normals, tangents and split UVs?
@ Blenderhead: Normal maps don't really work that way. The entire point is to simulate more data than is really there. You need an external data source beyond the low poly to get that extra data AKA: a highpoly model. What your describing wouldn't make any sense. Its a bit of a deviation from what this thread was trying to… -

Re: Sketchbook: Drea
It's been a while; it's time to update! I always wanted to model a classic Spyro or at least in honor of classic Spyro. I'm tempted to do a line of Nostalgia with Crash Bandicoot and Coco with Pura, but that would push me to work with fur. I barely understand Maya's Hair System. As for Spyro, I wanted to work up scales in… -
Re: Another war?
yes, i believe artists in general are more perceptive and intelligent than the average people who populate places like facebook/myspace etc. so yes, as long as the discussion is civil I think it is important. it seems US gov is creating more terrorists like they did in Afganistan so that US Gov can start yet another war… -

Re: [UDK] The Tropical Island
Hi! I think your scene is looking really nice, and it is certainly a starting point for a nice portfolio piece. Some things to consider: This island tells no story aside from a geological story I suppose. The large boulders on the beach do not make too much sense, that's not really where they would be placed- rocks don't… -
Re: Draw Calls and batching
Most modern game engine should support instancing. In this case you have one copy of the model on the video cards and just a list of position etc. to place the same model all over the place. In fact one drawcall without any memory limitations. Sharing materials and textures is important. Most engines will process meshes in… -
Re: I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
Feels to me like there's too much ambient light in there. The lights themselves could all use some softening. If you're going for an "aged" feeling as in the era that you would naturally have a study like this (think of the time from the late 1800's ala "the time machine"). In that case, the lights would be all gas and… -
Re: Making the Perfect 3D Tutorial Site
http://www.scriptspot.com/search/apachesolr_search/uvw They definitely have more clutter than they used to, and two-above-the-fold kinda sucks. but when you do scroll down to the entries, you can fit like 8-9 on screen at once, which is better than 3-4. It doesn't seem to me that the entries are verbose, just that there is… -
Re: Japanese anime/music
Music: GACKT!! My absolute favourite musician. I love his stuff. :) L'arc~en~ciel are really awesome as well as Hyde's solo stuff. Dir en Grey has a lot of good songs and a lot of WTF stuff. Do As Infinity The Pillows Anime: ALL of these are UNCUT Japanese. Most English subs/translations are utter trash even with good…
