Re: Matching diffuse/spec to normal maps 1:1 100%
Both of your ideas together makes a decent solution. By applying the colors as EQ said, you have ready made masks, and can easily see what goes where. Using an AO/crevice map is helpful as well. Not only does it actually add a little shadow to your texture, but it will certainly show you where the high poly elements are,… -
Re: If you could only choose three...
Environment Art books: - The Elements of Color by Johannes Itten Poop turned me on to this book and it totally kicked my ass. - The Dark Side of Game Texturing by David Franson It's a light book. But where I was when I got this it helped me tremenously. - The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards… -
Re: Lack of Fantasy RTS
If you like turn-based strategy games even just a little bit, I'd strongly recommend King's Bounty: The Legend. Excellent turn-based combat, interesting RPG elements, really wide variety of troop types (including undead and mythical creatures) and overall really addictive. Standard fantasy stuff, but the combat really is… -
Re: "Favela Revisited", a UDK scene.
well, played with some background elements as well as finally corrected a bunch of foliage mipmapping problems. I am really starting to get a feel for how I want this environment to go finally and I am stoked to have a good amount of time to finish it soon. Plans still include new skydome, lots and lots of clutter asset,s… -
Re: Spanish Village WIP
The overall scene layout has potential, but onto other things. The street sidewalks seem rather pristine compared to the middle of the road, should have some puddles and cracks, stains whatnot. More on the lighting, the lighting doesn't make the scene pop out as much other than brightening it up, may want to get some color… -
Re: Spaceship Concept
I think the following are pretty promising: 1 - the least alien-like and most functional design 17 - looks nice. The left side (I guess it's meant to be the front) reminds me a little of the megathron from EVE. 8 6 18 - but I would change / leave out the strange thingy / handle on the right end. All in all most designs… -
Re: Seven-Way Scuffle
ScoobyDoofus: Paintover time. I think smaller eyes would help a lot, and I think the detail on mole rat skin is wrinkles, rather than folds. The paintover is fairly crappy, but I think you get the idea, which is that I think it's small shapes, rather than medium size shapes. Swizzle: I like it. It's cool how you've got a… -
Re: World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
Yeah, that's true. Most MMO's I've played offer at least two new classes per expansion. Which makes sense to me, adds a bit of variety and balance. Only having the one extra class seems like a bad move regarding gameplay balance and also removes some elements of individualism and player choice within the game. Not to… -
Re: Big Sandwich Games Art test
yeah man, add some elements to it, a story of it in itself if you will. maybe this ammo box was laying around the ground from a battle or war and think about all the types of dirt and grunge it would've received from laying there (i.e. dirt buildup from ground rising from bottom to top, noticeable more on bottom, less as… -
Re: Beginner question regarding workflow
If by attaching you mean cutting and welding the pieces into one mesh, normally you don't need to do that. Just merging the pieces into one object but leaving them as separate elements will work fine. In your case if they are customizable pieces, such as the player can attach different pieces at different times, you might…
