Re: Brushing up those character skills.
jeffro: Maybe I'll try pimping more often (haha, I always say that). Yeah, I realize now that the eye sockets don't have much in the way of shading. brome: Sure, I'll get you a shot whenever I get back home and do a bit of updating on the texture. Yeah, characters were actually my first "love" bet I got hired as an… -
Re: Advice on lightmaps in game engines
Well, this is how I did in an old engine some time ago: - Used lightmaps on quad polygons (for walls). The walls were planar-UV-mapped automatically (and automatically packed) by the game editor not by the artist. Via texture matrix you could mirror, tile or rotate the wall's mapping. - Static meshes. The game editor… -
Re: Grass Formation

Low Poly Modeling Techniques
I have a mesh all done and unwrapped in 3DS Max, and right now I have a couple of hangups with it. One, It's a character model that is supposed to have a large variety of gear he can wear. While most of it can be done with texture swaps, I'm having problems in two places: Shirt shoulders and the parts of gloves that… -
2D Zelda-like Flash Game
Title pretty much says it all. Still VERY early in development... All the graphics are vector, but the environment is tile-based. Tiles are 48 x 36 pixels. Here's the main character (named Wyn) so far, zoomed 800%: (You may recognize her from this thread: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81272&page=4) Really… -
