Non Square Textures (2:1, etc)
I'm currently unwrapping a sword and would like to have my texture be either a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio (512x256 or 1024x256). I'm in Max and the only thing I can find close to what I want is the "bitmap options", however, when I change these settings, it distorts the hell out of my UVs. I know this is possible and I feel like I'm… -
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… -

[Maya 2017] Help making ik scapula rig
Hi all, as the title says I'm trying to make what I imagine to be a simple scapula rig with ik splines, if I could attach the file here, I would. But basically I have a rotate-plane solver from 1 to 3 and single-chain solvers from 2 to 3 and 3 to 4. As you can maybe guess 1 would be the wrist, 2 the elbow, 3 the shoulder,… -
Re: Looking to improve my portfolio
Regarding the layout of you portfolio pieces I would suggest condensing the pages and combining many of the pages. For example I have to do plenty of scrolling down the page to see 1 image of 1 view of a prop and this is multiplied when I have to look through all your pieces. Having a single page with front/side/three… -
Re: Modelling for Unity?
Unity terrain kinda sucks tbh. In this scene I used multiple layered meshes (modeled in max) as terrain, 1 material per mesh. This allows me to use any kind of shader features I want for the terrian. I created some editor tools for painting the material masks onto those meshes and for painting the foliage/detail objects… -
Re: [Portfolio] - George Cochrane, Prop & Environment Artist
You've got nice work on there but one thing that made me do a double take was that you have written "3 x 2048" on your dragon prop. At first I thought you meant that you had use 3 2k sets (diff, spec, norm). Then I realised that you meant all 3 textures. I think in most cases people say that they use 1 2k texture and it's… -
Re: APB is the greatest game ever!
I got five hours in early due to getting a Key to the City thanks to my pre-order. It's certainly fun and the customisation is great. I'm a little concerned about the longevity though, even in my five hours there were times when I felt the repetition start to get to me, but hopefully this will improve when I level up more… -
