Re: Best workflow for cleaning up a mesh that has been exported from Rhino into Zbrush
Hello, - Step 1 shows the manual cleanup to patch holes, using regular polygon modeling techniques. - Step 2 shows the individual thin chunks of terrain being extruded down to create thick slabs. The box under them was just used as a negative Boolean to even/flatten their bottom side, but this could be done with just… -
Re: Ehh Uv's
I see, okey here is what is bothering me. First of all, sorry about my English, i will try to explain more clearly as much as i can. As far as i understand, for more texture work on characters, different part of the body have to be on it's own UV space or uv set. For example, for a heavy and detailed creature i take the… -
Re: Demon Edge
You're right, that is kind of an issue. Unfortunately, there's not as much time left I can spend on that phase. So, I will try my best to address your points, but the bulk of my focus has to be directed towards texturing now :[ Adding in some edges to the blade, like you suggested, doesn't seem like it'd disrupt anything… -
Re: Tree-Lighthouse - Hand-painted Environment
@Liamodearme It's a mix between high poly modeling in Zbrush and hand-painting in Photoshop. It depends on the assets. Sometimes I find it quicker to paint in Photoshop but more often than not, I use Zbrush to polypaint. For instance, for the rocks, 1) after some crappy sculpting, I use polypaint to put a first layer of… -
Video Reference - Prop color?
Plan: Record sword and shield animations of myself for reference to animate. I have 2 options: 1) wood color/grain sword and shield + black and white tape markers or 2) black sword and shield + white tape markers Question: Would option 2 increase clarity? (IE. make it easier to see the sword and shield motions) I don't… -
Re: Any Gears fans want in on the Beta?
I can't stand the Retro yet really, its accuracy is all over, and I never get close enough for it to be useful (as I'm usually double barrelled to death :P). The controls are much better than Gears 1 and 2, but I think I've been spoiled by Uncharted 2 because I find that game to have a control scheme and setup leagues… -
Re: Brief tutorial on using the Google Photosphere camera to create cubemaps.
Yeah, 12 or 14 bit raw isn't as good as say, taking 3 exposures at -2, 0, +2, or -/+3 and getting a proper 16bpc hdr image, but its a lot lot better than 8bpc. My Sony A580 can do 13.3EVs - which is a lot of range. Which 5D do you have? Dynamic range isn't really a strength of Canons, even the high end bodies. The 5DIII is… -
Re: Lightmaps: tech pros and cons
ZacD haven't looked at mirror's edge in a long time but for the outdoor stuff there wouldn't be an issue because they use white diffuse textures, this means they can use the 0-1 range and just use lightmaps to darken the image as they don't need any overbright from the lighting. Also they might not be using the nvidia dxt… -
Re: Mathimatical techneque to work out polycounts?
Checking your script against our in-game stats, it matches exactly! Except... when I'm forcing a surface to turn off backface-culling. We do this at the material level, by checking the 2-sided checkbox. Then during export the vertices that have that material ID assigned will be duplicated in order to automatically create… -
Re: ESports, a global phenomenon.
jobs in eSports, I feel like I have been under therapeutic hypothermia and just come out of a very long sleep! so much to read up and learn about! but then I guess a lot of these guys are making it up as well as 'LOL' only came out a few years ago so the industry is just finding its feet but to think it can fill a 40,000…
