Re: Exporting Hard Surface/Organic Normals out of Zbrush?
Yeah Cryid...the more I think bout it, the more I agree with taking it to xnormal. I can still atleast export out my polypaint base. nDo2 will also help creating some good diffuses,specs and AO. I just don't know why zbrush has the normal map export option. I don't know of a single time its more efficient than backing in… -
Re: UDK Lighting: Theory and Practice question
Outer space lighting is difficult because there's not really any commonly agreed on lighting setup, unlike an outdoor scene or an interior scene. My suggestion would be to create a single DominantDirectionalLight (parallel light) facing the direction of the sun with a slightly yellowish/orange color. Then use a very dark,… -
Re: What Countries do you all live in, and how do you like them?
I hail from Eastbourne UK, or otherwise known as the 'sunshine coast'?????? Apparently a scientific study named that we receive the most sunlight in the whole of the UK, ironically we are covered in 3 inches of snow right now :) Its normally ok weather but the people are nice and the houses are real nice, populated 99.9%… -

Re: The Polycount Art Project (ATTENTION: Lurkers, Professionals and Students)
Totally agree. Ego is a big problem in the creative field. It's not that bad on PC, to be honest, the really talented dudes on here are really sound and if anything help the less experienced a lot; its more of a case of people being egotistical on their behalf, say if you have a crit or something. It's not as bad as CGTalk… -

Re: Quad Ngon Modeling Techniques
You simply cannot expect an automated UV solution to do the work for you precisely in the way you are expecting. In other words : Whenever using an automated UV solution, be prepared to have to project texture information. But if you want to texture the asset in such a way that a straight element of the texture also… -
Re: Non Noticeable Repeating Textures
It's probably main skill an environment artist should develope. I mean an ability to make non-repeating natural impression. Vertex color is not only thing. Usually it's not enough to hide tiling. It wouldn't help a lot with low sun , dusk/dawn conditions where tiling normal maps would look super eye catchy. You should… -
