Re: UT2004 Map: 1on1-MobiusLabs
Wow, initially this level looks pretty cool, but the more I look at it, I can see some bothersome errors. The way you built this level looks odd because you have massive, major level layout details, with small map object details and no mid-ranged shapes. Additionally, the materials between the level and the map objects is… -
Re: Student Once Again In Need Of Polycounts Wisdom (Portfolio Critique)
Okay, I'll take a stab. All in all, I think that you have some really nice work in your portfolio and certainly you aren't lacking in content. What you might consider is showing some wireframe passes on both high and low poly assets to give insight into how your models are constructed. Some pieces look better than others.… -
Re: Futuristic Soldier
Hey man, not much of a character artist, but I'll try to give you some constructive crits. first off, the texturing is very good, but I think the spec may be a bit high in places, ie- the highlights seem strong on the shoulders, could be the lighting. the spec for the red and black parts are different colors, but the… -
Re: your first job
My first job was working for H.O. Sports making water skis & wake boards. I remember being told if certain chemicals mixed it could make a deadly odorless, colorless gas, that was a fun area to work especially with a high turn over rate so some noob was always being trained and had to be watched. I stayed at HO for roughly… -
Re: Sketchbook: Curry
as far as realism, I've done some life drawing, especially gestures. But I have others that I spent more time on. I lost most of my pastel ones that I had because my portfolio got lost/possibly stolen. :C But I have all of my older black n white ones. Only problem is that I don't like those anymore XD. I need to get into… -
Re: Texture crits needed - colt .45
It looks great. Crits: - Maybe a bit too much wear. I don't know this particular weapons history but its seen a lot of use and damage. If this is for a WW2 style game, remember that weapons you find online are older then they would appear in the game. 50 years from the time of production to us, 2mo in the game. - The spec… -
Re: Difficulty Applying Normal
This is a misleading comment, overlaying chunks might mess up the baking process and should be avoided at bake times. What you CAN do is shrink the UVs of anything that'll be doubly overlaid on another piece, and shove them in any corner of blank space just to have them out of the way. Once the bake is done, scale those UV… -
Re: midia
You don't need to 'fix' any tris at all. Tris are only a problem when the model will be subdivided later on, so for instance when it's the basemesh you're going to use in mudbox. This is important to remember: Your model will be completely made up of tris ingame. That's really all a quad is, anyway: two tris. About 'tips… -
Re: Matt's Portfolio Site!! [C/C Please]
Hello from the neighborhood! So you're majoring Kinetic, eh? I graduated from Kinetic two years ago, and I hope it doesn't distract you much from realtime CG as it happened to me As for your website, I agree what noritsune said about displaying your work. In addition, I believe it would be better if you don't have the 3D… -
Re: Normal Baking/Creation in Mudbox (from Max)
[ QUOTE ] I box map my high detail mesh for diffuse baking. It usually doesn't matter if it's before or after mud, but generally I save it as a last step before baking normal, diffuse and lighting map A little more technical info here, but this doesn't use the diffuse baking technique…
