Tis truly a sad day in land of nerds and geeks. I've never understood the admiration and worshipping that happens to girls that play games. Someone should tell their customers that regular girls play games too. Just not 24/7 like they do. So go out, find a girl and odds are you'll be able to play with her too (in both…
I agree, don't use smudge. Yuck that is a crappy way to go about it and develops bad work habits. You can kill those support edgeloops and use more geometry for the roundness of your lowpoly pipe! It looks like it is 16 sides, I would go with 20 or 24 sides. Um.. at least on the outer cylinder to give a rounder edge.
Yes quite different, glossyness is the "size" or "falloff" or "sharpness" of the specular highlight, where spec maps control the value. [edit] also spec maps should be 24 bit if your engine can handle it, whereas a glossmap has no need to be more than 8 bit. So you really could just put a gloss map in the spec map's alpha…
These are the settings I'm working with right now. If I change the bits/channel in either direction, it destroys the image but allows me to export in Targa. Pictured in the first post is what PSD looks like when displayed in 8 bit, but it is also what the file exports at 24 bit. I did not try 16 bit or 32 bit because it is…
User guide time! <- Right-click to download Finally finished what ended up taking me longer to write than the shader :) It's 24 pages filled with example images and useful info on how the shader works. Let me know if you find any typos or errors. I've gone through it a few times but there's certainly something I've missed.…
The layout is fine and you seem to have an understanding of the workflow. Just keep pushing yourself to pump out better and better work and you'll be good to go. I really wouldn't compare yourself to other students unless there is a monster in the class that works 24/7. At least when I was in school there was a general…
Didn't Microsoft get "Caught" for using pirated software? I believe in their case it was for an audio file. But the meta data in the exported file proved that it was created by a pirated version of the audio editor. After a quick google search, you can see they did:…
Yep, we done did this! Also, another question for the pros out there: Is this worth putting in a portfolio? It's not the best thing I've done, but given that it was completed in a stretch of 24 nonstop work-hours, I wonder if it's something that studios like to see (being able to work as a slave without sleep). And, like…
Create a new scene, then merge all the objects from the bloating scene. If you don't mind losing all the materials and adding them again aftrwards, sometimes clearing them can help the bloat. Clear all the materials from the editor: for i = 1 to 24 do ( meditMaterials = Standardmaterial () ) Then cleanse your scene: max…
well, he have no shoulders and he's too fat for me, Captain N megaman doesn't resemble the original megaman at all men :\ i know that the sprite have almost no shoulders too but it was about 24-25 pixel tall and it doen't look strange like in a 3d model also because the pose…
