Re: WIP M5 Stuart Tank
yeah, Stuart forever :) 40k tricount is bit too high though, even for an fps ;) The mesh itself looks cool, but I think the 3d tracks eat big chunk of those tris. Usually tracks are made as polybands with tiled texture on them which scrolls when tank is moving. Modelling those track details in 3d is an overkill. Sometimes… -
Re: Hand Painted Textures - crit appreciated
wow- more response than I hoped for . Thanks! Shurkuris- too much advice for me to address everything at once, so: Replaced the roof texture and enlarged the mapping. Toned down the wood texture- the variation was on purpose. I wanted to create the appearance of overlapping levels of wood with some detail expressed with… -
Re: Futuristic F-1 Inspired Speeder
Is this suppose to be miniature? The model reads as small because of the extreme Depth of field going on here. Check out some helicopter or plane reference, and see how clear the majority of the foreground is. If it is intended to be miniature, 2K maps and 40K tris is overkill. When dealing with something that will occupy… -
Re: The Hologram Devlog
I dropped the b in Devblog, that's what I have to say this time... no, just kidding. Just did that promised video with spaceship movement and firing, it's probably very boring, no sound, but it's my first serious incursion into the unreal blueprint black magic. The video shows in detail what is done, except pawn possession… -
Re: AO: Unreal Engine 4?
The only thing that *needs* to be linear space is a normal map, though it makes some sense for roughness maps and metalness maps to be in linear space too. However, there is no requirement there, you can have sRGB roughness and metalness maps, you just need to author and preview them as sRGB. The problems arise when you… -
Re: Low poly coffin
The 2.5D snaps are useful to relatively align a vert selection with some other vert outside the selection. Like along a xy, yz, zx plane but not all three axis at once. 1. Turn on 2.5D snap - make sure vertex is checked on in the snapping options, it helps to turn off most of the other snaps as well. I usually just left… -
Re: WIP- Dungeon/Ransacked castle environment
I think your getting there. - Bricks look good, but the black grout lines are way too dark. There is also this weird line of bricks that stand out more so than the rest. It would be nice to see some bricks popping in and out from geo. - Stairs, while not the focal point, are VERY blurry. You have alot of intended detail… -
Re: Graphics Tablet Questions (x-post)
I don't use one daily, so take these with a grain of salt. Pretty sure you can find the answers to all of these by googling creatively, anyway (especially 5 and 6). It depends on the person. They both take some getting used to. I'm quite happy with my Intuos, but if you can afford to have a Cintiq and intend to be in the… -
Re: Dreamwork's massive layoff...
That's what I heard a year ago. But one of their high end productions is already intended for a global audience: Kung Fu Panda 3. I wouldn't be surprised if they change the plan and add more titles. I'm just thinking it would be odd to produce for the local market if they can pull off movies that can succeed domestically… -
Re: Sonic Boom Art Dump
Thanks everyone! Truly means a lot. :) @Ged: The easiest method was to just come up with a shared library/kits we could all use to rapidly populate areas of the game. From large blockout pieces, to more final assets that would be used to setdress the levels. These were then tweaked and fitted to whichever level they were…
