Re: Tangent Vs World Normal Map?
Yeah more like 99% of the advantage. =P Correct, there was also a Battlefield(BF:Vietnam?) game that used OS maps exclusively for character meshes.... Just throwing that out there before someone pops in and says "oh but you can't use it for soft deformation". You can animate object space maps just as well as you can… -
Re: Modo 401 for game art
I've been using Modo for quite a while now, and aside from a few of what I consider minor issues I really enjoy using it to create game art. Exporters: I've gotting static objects into Unreal without any problems with the ase exporter found on this page. There is a Collada exporter currently being developed and improved.… -
Re: Noobs: Starting from the ground up.
Welcome to the boards. I like Vash as well, it was an interesting series.

Re: What defines the next generation?
Well, going via a naive approach using VRAM alone: PS3 = 256Mb PS4 = 8Gb, shared. Let's give this a 3:1 GPU-CPU split, so 6Gb. 6144Mb/256Mb = 24x bigger. Bearing in mind that each double in texture size quadruples the memory overhead, that leaves you with an average of two doubles of texture size, leaving 1/3 of the… -

Re: Packing greyscale textures in color maps
Kinda used already for directionnal lightmaps, where light intensity from 3 directions is stored in one RGB map, while the pure color (which requires less resolution), is stored in one little map or vertex color. But i guess it could be done for a diffuse map too. The process would be 1 big RGB luminosity texture + 3… -
Re: Knald - Master Thread
@tmighty Sure, the thing to remember is that Knald can only see the UVs that are within the 1001 area (the light grey square in Blender), so whatever you want baked, and only what you want baked, needs to be in there. 1) First things first we need to head over to the UV/Image Editor window and assign an image to the mesh.… -

Re: For those who know about designing game characters.
Hi TruStory187, I actually work for a company that's developing an online computer game for children where the player's character (avatar) is extremely customizable. For the meshes we only use 1 body mesh with two texture variations, a boy and a girl. I'm the modeler/animator on those but we have a texture artist who did…
