Re: Labyrinth of the Pig
k, got some time to jump back onto this guy and give it an honest try. The theme I'm going for is a dungeon for pigs!! Ran by pigs. Ruled by the Mighty King William *Wilbur* and he imprisons 4 leggers who refuse to walk upright on 2 legs.. His queen is the evil Charlotte spider witch. I want to sort of imagine pigs with a… -
Re: Spheremapping/Cubemapping/Environmentmapping question/discussion
Peirce is really cool! Nice find, thanks for this. Spheremapping avoids showing its singularity because it's usually projected on the mesh to always face the viewpoint. The reflection looks fine if the viewpoint doesn't move; it falls apart when it does because the reflection doesn't change to match the new view (you… -
Re: RappaTools v1.98
Specter, I agree with you at one condition: if I can reorganize the buttons inbetween the tabs. Because yes you would be faster if I didn't know the layout, but I prefer to be able to click the buttons I need directly when I know where they are. Having to click on a tab I need when another is taking it's place before… -
Re: wrapping my head around modular design
Blam! http://www.thiagoklafke.com/modularenvironments.html It's a good read. It has to do with using the grid and knowing geometry basics. Do be aware that your examples and the link provided are all relating to sci fi as the methods behind sci fi are typically modular and grid based anyways. If you look at environments… -
Re: Hard-Surface Normals - Curved object
If you are talking about hard edge normals (aka smoothing splits) then you'll want to place them in the same location as your UV islands. I'm not sure what you mean by this. If you're talking about tweaking your normal map in Photoshop after baking: I would say if you need to do this to a normal map along UV borders then… -
Re: Using Multi-Sub Object Material to Properly Apply Tiling Textures to Meshes
In the image the OP posted, the grout lines up exactly with the corner (although there is a bevel), but the method Jrodan posted is an interesting trick. I think the poster is after how to layout the UVs for something like this I made an image but there are some gotchas. When you do what I have done above for the tiles you… -
Re: Tank alla massive
Looks pretty good. However your surfaces are fairly monotonous - the wear and rust at the edges is a nice touch but then you leave the overall panels just a flat colour with a bit of noise, looks a bit boring. Also your UV layout could be MUCH more compact, there's no need to give the tracks all that space to themselves,… -
Re: iTunes 8 - is nice!
Yes, iTunes can play FLAC and OGG and others.. you just have to search the web for it (at least they are available for Mac). And don't complain, you probably spend more time seeking out and setting up other things for you PC. :p I don't use the gridded cover layout.. I use the list with cover flow. The new Genius thing is… -
Re: [Portfolio] – Aaron Forney,Game Artist
Hey, not bad at all. I like how the layout of the web site is clean and easily accessible. However, it would help if you presented bigger render sizes of your work, because, for now, I can't really analyze each of them very clearly. Also I would like to point out some anatomical flaws in a couple of your models, for the… -
Re: 3dsmax UV Editor Transfer Edge Selection to Edit Poly?
Eric, yea fancy engines like Unreal are great at preserving normals, but not everyone is blessed to be working with software so awesome heh. The only way for me to get my normals to match is to break the geometry and bake with a welded cage. Confusing as hell but it gets rid of the seams in my case. Just a long process of…
