You're only baking one half. That's the whole idea. Only UVs in 0-1 will be baked, as outside that UV tile is ignored. So the very reason you're moving the mirrored UVs out of the way is so that they don't interfere with the baking process. Further to what @fuiosg said, is that a single UV shell? Because if it isn't you…
@Andreas i'm not so sure if intense really explains very much. and from my experience in Asia and what i have read the cultures in many countries seem to be the opposite. there is a lot of formalism and cultural norms that are quite rigid. there is of course lots flashy art and music but it seems almost like an over the…
I'm going to join the challenge for the first time this month with the environment. Earlier today I was just starting a new room when this challenge showed up on my facebook wall. Definitely looking forward to interacting with others on here. The biggest challenge for me will be getting this done in a month as I typically…
Maya doesn't have the same symmetry as Max does. You should give it a try on Maya's Mirror cut, it's not interactive, but I have it setup as a marking menu which makes really easy for me to just have it fast. If you press shift+RMB you will see the option Mirror Polygon, there's 2 ways there you can mirror meshes. Give it…
for interactive tasks a few cores is all that's needed in my experience. nothing seems to thread all that well beyond 2-3 in modelling, etc. if at all. :) i'd aim for highest clock speed that fits the budget. these 6(12)-core i7 machines appear to be a sweet spot for performance all around but the somewhat higher clocked…
Beer is the answer. I've met a lot of cool people and have done some serious business over a beer or lunch. The key, is to develop a genuine relationship first and worry about business second. A contact or acquaintance is more valuable than what you might be able to gain from a single interaction. TL;DR Don't be out to…
Excellent point. SIEGE is the annual Southern Interactive Entertainment and Game Expo held in Atlanta, GA. This year's dates are October 8th through the 11th. Since I'm not an official representative and haven't actually been before, I'm going to link more information so I don't say something inaccurate:…
If you are doing an FPS it is a must, but if your using a modular set up for parts of the environment that the player will never interact with you can sometimes get away with just winging it. Its the type of thing you get with experience you just have set aside time for trying out a few modular set ups or just account for…
1- World of Warcraft. 2- It's WoW. I love the interaction in the community, the way everyone has a common interest, the amount of content, the attitude that the developers have is amazing and other stuff. 3- Variety. 4- Not sure...WoW? lol 5- RPG I'd say make a game that has variety and lots of 'replay-ability' that will…
I found that towards the end my university projects were actually getting in the way of me studying and making a better portfolio, it actually made me laugh. I started working a little less on university work(design for interactive media) and a bit more on my own game related art. So I still pass but they arent even…
