Re: How do I do these UVs? Ancient Roman Scales model
At the moment I'm doing the texture at 2048 x 2048, but I'll drop it down later. I know 1024 is a bit big for something like this. I'd probably do it at 512 or 256. The thing about this scene is its not exactly for game art practice. I'm trying to keep it low as if it were for a game - so I can get into the habit more -… -
Re: Good notebooks for modeling?
I got a macbook pro for about 1800 refurb'd, never had any issues with it. I just really couldn't get used to the mac tho.. I ended up purchasing a Toshiba Tecra m7 Tablet PC 2 ghz Core 2 Duo , with 2 gig of Ram and a 256 Quadro vid card for 1700 Runs great and can play games too boot. I love it, it was this or a Wacom… -
Re: Best way to look at your own texture work
yea i remember that being an issue for people, but im pretty sure mine have been set at 1024 for while, regardless though, it still appears drab even when rendered, unless this setting affects it there too. damn itd be great if it were just some setting in maya and not just my underdeveloped skills *dream on* well holy… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge October 2013 (12)

Can someone show me what their material looks like inside of UDK i have always had a hard time with material definition What size lightmap resolution is everyone using ? Im aroudn 128-256 for the walls and ceiling pieces but they… -
Re: UDK Trouble
Hey guys thanks for the help. Really good link Santewi thanks for sharing. I feel pretty dumb; noticed that my lightmap resolution was 32 so I cranked that sucker up to 256 and that did the trick, cleaned them right up. However, like blankslatejoe said the seems wont disappear entirely. Looks like I will have to hide them… -
Re: Blender questions
Concerning the MD2 issue, I think it might be because the MD2 format is (like the MD3 format) in limited space - any verts over a certain X or Y location will get looped back round to the other side, which results in a big mess. Try scaling your model down before exporting - make sure it's not bigger than 256 units in any… -
Re: Scifi portfolio level, UDK
Try to make your blocks fit into a power of two grid first. Most of the blocks I'm using are 256 units wide/tall, but I'm using a player height of 144 units (close to Gears of War's metrics, where the character's height it at 160 units). Default UT3 player height is 96 afaik, so blocks of 128x128 or 192x192 uu would fit… -
Re: Anyone own/used a Fujistsu LifeBook T900?
All of those tablet laptops have intel graphics which are quite honestly terrible. Have a look at the HP Touchsmart t2mt After some upgrades it's a decent machine without being too expensive. Core 2 Duo 1.3GHz 4GB DDR3 ATI Radeon HD4550 (not the greatest but fairly beefy for a laptop) 500GB 7200RPM HDD Wacom digitizer… -
Re: Sharpening viewport images...
These are my max settings. I'm pretty sure the image has to be square so it can load it into texture memory correctly. EX: 128^2, 256^2, 512^2, 1024^2. Load your images into photoshop and first change "canvas size" to be equal to the width/height. Then scale the image to 512 or 1024. I always round up because there is no… -
Re: Console Purchase Help
Also i really dont see what you fail to understand about the 1080 thing, if you have a 256 texture thats rendered 2 feet tall on your huge tv, is it really going to look any better with twice the resolution, how about 4 times? No, its still a blurry ass texture, neither system has enough memory to really take advantage of…
