Thoughts on the Stop Killing Games movement?
I figured this was somewhat relevant to us, as we make art for games. It's a European Citizens Initiative, currently at 652,366 signatures at a 65% requirement for the UK parliament to recognize it. If you are in favour of these terms & are a citizen of a country in the EU, the deadline for signatures is 31/07/25. From the… -
Maxscritp: Stitch Problem
Hi Friends. I try to stitch some UV edges via maxscript but it doesn't get me the same result like when i do it via the stitch dialog. Here is an example picture which shoes the problem. One shell is scaled a bit and via bias 0.0 in the stitch dialog the shell is scaled down to the target shell and all is 100% fine. BUT… -
Re: Tangent Vs World Normal Map?
Well Worldspace normals aren't widely supported in game engines, not in UDK or Unity, I'm not sure about CE3 personally. But in that example you show, you have the UV shells seperated but all the edges softened/in the same smoothing group. If you harden those edges each shell will look like the center shell in the… -

Re: WW2 Tank Jagdtiger
Looks like the shells might have a very uniform roughness, the tarnished areas seem to reflect about as much light as the clean areas. This shell is a good example of tarnished brass. You also have a grunge tiling across the shells that noticeably repeats several times, would be better to replace that with a procedural… -
Re: Baking AO and stuff (help)
Agreed, I fill my own gutters with all padding. But I don't think you put 64 pixels of space between each shell. :) Sure the shell colors are often similar enough that it doesn't really matter, but when it does it really does. I could make it clearer though. I think it's not so clear that the shell spacing is as important…
