Re: UE4 POM Cost
I'm using tessellation in my project as well, and I found this really useful to control the performance hit: http://oliverm-h.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/ue4-manual-distance-based-tessellation.html Depending on what works for you, you can set the tessellation distance and transition to low values. I have mine set to 256 and… -
Re: [UDK] CORRIDOR_01
Its looking very cool so far :) On this latest prop though, I don't feel it was really necessary to make this thing a totally unique map. By that I mean, you could have symmetried all of it, or most of it or even some of it and gotten more res in your textures. Also, a nice idea/trick I've done in the past, is to have a… -
Re: Wacom 22 HD!
The Slate is 256 levels of pressure. Cintiqs are 2048. Not sure Now noticeable the difference is, I haven't used the Slate. The Cintiqs feel good though. I'm actually looking for something more portable outside of work. So I think I'm going to get a Slate. Just waiting on a price dip. This new 22HD is tempting though. I… -
Re: What's Your Backup Regime?
Backing up online (or at least offsite, somewhere that isn't my home) is vital to me. I don't really consider myself fully backed up unless I do that. What if there's a fire? What if someone breaks into my home? You might not think people go for external hard drives, but thieves today know how valuable data can be. They… -
Re: I am the only one who notice the stagnation in 3d software development!
But it's not the tools I'm complaining about. But in conjunction with how complex everything has gotten. For example, I do not believe a PS2 model ever needed 4 separate textures to convey information. A prop may have only been 2000 triangles and use a single 256 or 512 texture. You could make multiple models like this… -
Re: Modular Seam Problem
if you want to use it in an atlas you have to add some padding around the uv islands. reason is your border will get washed out as the texture gets scaled down in each mip level. 8 px in 1024 get shrinked down to 4px in 512, to 2 px in 256 1 px in 128 etc. so what you see is the downscaled blended pixels around your… -
Re: Low poly game characters for iOS
@PogoP Cheers man. I will take a look at the sandals and re arange some verts. I think I know where you are coming from. Looking forward to texturing. Used to doing 128 maps for handheld so I am looking forward to seeing the results from a 256 map. Thanks for the feedback dude. Here's Gordon so far. Bit messy around the… -
Re: Maya: Vertex Normal precision errors when smoothing mesh causing normal map artifacts
I get what your saying that in 8bit color representation there is no true 90°, and 90° is directly in between the distinct 8 bit values thus even the smallest deviation would have the value round down. Pardon my ignorance, wouldn't it be the other way around ie: signed is -127 to 127 (255 values) versus unsigned 0 to 255… -
Re: Bloated Normals ?
Little test: Make a diagonal line on a 256 map and apply to it the model, make the same line straight and apply it to the model, the difference is clear as night and day. Having straight lines means no anti-aliasing of a diagonal line, which in turn means you can smaller textures, which in turn means more resources saved.… -
Re: [Portfolio] Nate LaMartina, Character Art
I agree with Krynn concerning the splash page. I was clicking around abit on random parts of the image to be redirected until I suddenly popped to your blogspot site. Somewhat annoying. I really really like the art though. Killer textures! I'd like to see some flats and a polycount would be super too. The texture density…
