Re: ChrisPerr's Warhammer Scene
the watermark does not make a good impression, better ditch that habit- its not anyone can use or specific hidden UV texture. In the past people tended to create square textures for typical level editors and primitive engines - of which others could often benefit (like early Unreal, HL, DN,...). But as soon as you unwrap a… -
Re: texture: reflective latex for baking
if you really want to do this as a baked diffuse rather than a realtime shader then set the material to be black and about 90% reflective. Then set up a floor plane, medium gray in texture, and about 20-50% self illuminated. Make sure it's big. Put another small plane or 2 out well in front of the model in positions for… -
Re: Some Maya Questions
1- never experienced this are you sure you havent got something like "create uvs in new set" tagged 2- yes look in display-polygons-custom poly display, lots of powerfull stuff in there too. 3- you can relax, or smooth using the sculpting tools, which if you want to do it across the whole model select what you want… -
Re: WIP 1st Zbrush Model
{pre-post apologies, its 4am here, I just got off a long day of work, AND im drunk from post work cocktails) Hey Panzer. Good first effort! I'd like to say that you need to learn to use more sharp edges. Your model here seems to suffer from a Zbrush-Itis, which is common to new users. He's very lumpy & balloony. No sharp… -
Re: bump map vs normal map?
Here's an example of where they both suck. Yes, it's a bit contrived, but now you can see why all the techy panels in the Doom 3 world or kind of soft, or they slightly bevelled everything on the first place: (these are sized down, so some of it's lost I guess) [img]http://www.members.shaw.ca/whargoul/bad normals… -
Re: Asian Gate [image heavy]
aye use of a very soft reflectionmap might help... i would rework either the HP or/and textures of the floor so that there is more wear around the door from feet etc soften the edges add a touch more grease from human contact...could do the same with the woood the metal could do with a touch more texture the edge… -
Re: Studio Traditions
I was at EA in Burnaby for a few months and I would sometimes go help out in some of the dev areas. Every time I went, someone would end up throwing something at somebody. One guy hit me in the back with a soft little stress ball one time and I gave him this odd look 'cause I didn't really know how to react (I was just a… -
Re: Need advice for demoreel
Just stick with one thing, companies would rather you just be very good at one thing then OK at several. The quality bar in the industry is always rising and you'll be hard pressed to catch up if you don't have focus. Having said that, assuming your new to environment art like characters, and decide to go in that… -

Re: The cliches that piss you off in entertainment....
Danny Elfman music gets reused alot too. One that comes to mind is that "childrens choir" singing a soft sad tune. Sounds very harry potteresque. It gets reused in many trailors. Its from one of the Tim burton movies.. Beatlejuice maybe. I dunno. I totally hate the Bad guy comes to life at the end for one final strike.…
