LaTeX is great for expressing mathematical formulas, and you can output it into many different formats. It's a bit like HTML, you author it in plain text and many people find it quite nice and distraction free. It's got a pretty big following in academia because of that. But if you really care about page "design" in the…
i see overexposed light, that means the lightmap capable to brighten the default texture value ? ( either overlay or add blending_) btw i dont think environment need normal map before it the capability of interacting with shadow and dynamic moving light or specular. unique texture is good, but see if this can be push even…
I agree about the 1/4 of a monitor rule. I think as long as it's mostly something you listen to and glance at every once in a while, it's probably alright. Don't let it interfere with productivity. The two companies I've worked for (both fairly small) were cool with it, and almost all the artists did it. But as others have…
Sorry for the slow update, I actually lost my work and pretty much had to start again :( , but here it is anyway. Thanks guys, I'll probably stick with just the jumper and holsters for now but I will add the "street" version when I take it further. crazyfool- looks sick. No crits lool. I'm waiting for the armour/cloth!…
Thanks to everyone who has given feedback so far. It's been great getting everyone to post and interact with you guys. This week, the students are breaking their blockouts into simple, modular pieces and props, and then bringing those into Unreal and placing them. They're also starting to do the high poly model of their…
after a while of not updating here are 2 new screens from the Mining Facility interior.. still heavily wip. There are now all 3 floors for this rough in place. working on more props for this now and more interactive objects to put in. Doors are in and working together with a lock / "keycard" system. also did some work on…
shock, can you add me as looking for a team-up? i`m really not shure i can properly texture that witch doctor set i`m working on. i`ll try to do it... but i fear the outcome. the earth spirit ideea is really neat looking, but might i suggest you tone down the arm cristals? for a staff wielder mobility is key and that much…
I interact with some fans via twitter about our games, nothing spolierish of course. We also have community days every Fri/Sat where fans setup games in U3 or TLOU and they always love it when some of the Naughty Dogs can come in and play with them which is always great as your playing with some of the most passionate…
Take a look at the link posted above by joeriv. That should get you caught up. The last few pages should have most of the good information since it was merged with another thread from UE4 stuff. It's different because it allows artists to create more accurate(and modular) materials. It puts more emphasis on the surface and…
My goal is to (eventually) be able to make presentable marquettes and vignettes using 3D modeling. So I am not sure how much I can get away with lower resolutions. For more interactive (turnable, I mean) marquettes I might need to learn Unreal eventually. If my future client is happy with quick presentation I can get away…
