Re: Bethesda decal techniques - The Skyrim case
Here is a bit of an explanation about how you would do the hard blend with the vertex colors. There are other techniques as well, but their one is likely this. I mentioned that "if" thing, that gives you the fully hard alpha, so its actually very simple. This is what your if would do: A= height A B= height B A>B = 0 A>=B =… -
Re: Ubisoft's - Child of Light
I'm all for making games more challenging (but keeping them fair) but I'm not sure how that would work at all with JRPGs or games that attempt to keep their gameplay in that style like Child of Light. The grindy nature of these games makes it so that the only real challenge comes in encountering an enemy with higher stats… -
Re: What do people generally like here and aspire to game wise??
Fair enough, although I wouldn't call not being vain 'mature'. Certainly knowing more about yourself including what games you enjoy might be one small component of maturity, but personally I feel it's possible to also be slightly vain without being 'immature'. yes, there is probably a line somewhere, but frankly I think… -
Re: Car for Portfolio specs o.O
Like always, IT DEPENDS Just google around, see what game developers blog about and get inspired. Just today for example:* Blur showed some of their deformation debugging stuff http://www.gametrailers.com/video/bizarre-creations-blur/62635 (1:10 for example, they seem to use some kind of array of dots or sphere volumes to… -
Re: Paintover Help?
Haha yes I am the boot guy. I never did get it the way I wanted in the end either. /live it down. Here is my leg superimposed over the example leg. Besides that the knee is about one leg in front of his knee, I don't see why my leg doesn't have a functioning form? And the knee part was deliberate anyways, the robot itself… -
Re: Lighting Characters in a Scene
Thanks everyone for the replies, I'll be taking them all into account for the next stretch of work I do. I did a little bit more work after posting, trying to put stuff I researched on my own into practice. I tried setting up some shapes and lights in 3DS max to see if that would help with finding the right colors to paint… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
Which is practical and has a historical basis. Chainmail thongs don't -- but they're cool imo, im just saying -- I can tell you a million reasons a bruiser like conan would want to be bare chested. Can't think of one for a chainmail thong aside from aesthetics. The practicality aside, Conan's an interesting example of… -
Re: Panther Vehicle - Improving modeling and texturing skills
Just saw this for the first time, sorry if I'm a bit late with this/to late to change things. A bit of a long post, and I don't mean it's bad, just some things that I personally dislike if the goal was sticking to the concept. Overall I think you are kind of missing the overall feel off the car. The concept feels more… -
Re: Question for Prop Modelers
Didn't read thru all the comments, I saw there was already some really good ones tho. My advice, besides the obvious of keep practicing is to take time to setup hotkeys and customize ui, etc. I have been using this n52 gamer pad te for the last 7 years I've worked in the game industry for example. I actually own 3 of them… -
Re: Anything wrong with having an 'Artist name' instead of real name for portfolio stuff?
As said before it might be to early for the OP to care about things like this and he should be focusing on the work, but since it was the original question. brand is a thing and being remembered can be very important especially in the "late game". Big companies and product brands doesn't just change their name because they…
