Shoot your own textures when and if you can if not no shame in allowing someone else to shoot them for you. So yea I think its fine, but I also think there is a danger that they start to get a little over used. It might be a great texture but if everyone under the sun is using it then its probably not really worth it. At…
bloecher That's the tough one :D That depends on pipeline. With sculpting the sculpt takes more time (at least for me at this point) then baking process, but it is more fun cos you see almost the final result on early stage and can do fixes so in case of Riot pipeline with all fixed and approves and changes (i believe that…
Nice post odium, I would love to see everyones reply as full of passion as yours is. And I think that passion has a huge role to play in what makes a game good, it can be any type of game; rainbows of awesome or generic brown, a passionate team will make any game good. The big teamwork influence and weapon maintenance &…
Don't get me wrong. Sometimes I am lost in pushing polygons, in a good way. But back then the only modeling method I knew was lattice modeling. And of course there was no dedicated source of modeling instructions. As for now, modeling is fun as long as they are boxy models with few smooth edges. I mean I am still…

This has gone thru some change since I last played with this. max 2008 x64 didn't handle the shadows right but 2010 seems to be doing fine. Fun to play around with. I'm a bit confused on the IBL stuff. Ambient Cube Blur needs to be set to 8.0 for me until it looks presentable. Then 9.0 & 10.0 show no changes. I feel like I…
uni-verse is pretty exciting stuff. I've been drooling over it for a while. It allows two programs on two different computers to share the same data, or two programs on the same computer (think photoshop and 3dsmax, where you're painting on a model in Ps, and you can still edit it in Max, or using a specialised program to…
Hey StrangeFate that is some really nice work on the buildings. As others have stated the last image is looking the best. It has lots of colors and the normal and bump maps are standing out the most. I especialy like the huge cracks on the walls. Also the arhitecture is nice. To bad the balconys dont have more polys. Some…
hey man, cool stuff, it looks like fun I think that you could make these really badass tho if you put some decent texture detail into them. the pots are a good example- they really dont have any sort of location specific detail. it would look better to add some cracks, dirt or dust on the base, and maybe some stains from…
Ok so I've been focusing on anatomy recently, past few weeks it was mastering the basics of a male ( I have a sketchbook page for this) and for the female I decided I wanted to do a real character. I love Marvel and I love Siryn (We're both from Ireland and Deadpool loves her, what more can you want?!) and I thought the…
