Re: New Computer, Any Ideas?
I'd say either wait about 2 months for when the Geforce 9000 series is launched, or get yourself one with a Geforce 8600 (Runs everything, just no maxing out for the newest stuff) 2+gb of ram, 2 or 4 core Duo processor, and you should be set. Computers are a dime a dozen these days. I just got the above rig (8600 256,… -

Re: Skybridge walkway (surprise, it's UDK!)
This little update is more for me than for you, polycount hivemind. I did some more UDK tuts and got to work on the next asset, the curved roof. I wanted a corrugated stainless steel roof, but I got bogged down trying to work out the perfect titling corrugated pattern that fits and repeats in a 256 unit space. I now hate… -
Re: Some Halo Wars Assets (Image Heavy)
Thanks for all of the kind words guys, I truly appreciate it! Salman: The majority of the assets above used One 512x512 set (Diffuse, Normal, Spec). A few of the larger ones used Two 512x512s, and smaller ones would use 128-256. It was a lot of fun and challenging to work with lower res textures. I really learned a lot… -
Re: Blending Hi-poly Normal Maps with 2D Normal Maps
If you want to blend two normal maps together: 1. Half the intensity of your blue channel on the top layer (make it go to 128 max instead of 256) 2. Set top layer to overlay 3. Merge layers 4. Renormalize Works perfectly for me. If you forget to lower the intensity of the blue layer, you'll destroy any info from your… -
Re: Autodesk 3ds Max Maxscript: Convert Object Position To Proper Bytes For Hex
I see what you mean, you have a byte for the whole part of the number and a byte for the fractional part of the number. You have 256 steps in that fractional byte, so each step could represent that 1.0 / 255 = 0.0039215... increment of the fractional part, like you mentioned. In order to fit those two bytes into a two-byte… -
Re: Cryengine Celtic Altar/Tomb scene
Hi Jan_u, I agree that you can either bring a lot more uniqueness to the texture or go the other route and make it extremely optimized. Here is a quick example of taking your texture and fitting in all the important details into a 256 texture with room to spare. I made sure not to shrink down any of the details so this… -
Re: low poly character - mobile devices
Hi Designamyte, I was wondering, could you post a wireframe of the character for us to see? Looking at his model looks like you could make him much lower poly. I would also advise you to cut the map down to 256 or 128, because the iPhone 3G doesn't have that much power anymore due to iOS4.x. I develop on 3Gs' and 3G's. If… -
Re: [GAME] Subway Surfers
Hey Congratulations, what an awesome game!!! I was wondering if you or your programmer could give us a more deep explaination on the vertex modifing shader you used for the world?? And maybe if you or any of the guys in the forum could point me in the right direction on using Textures (as you said that the whole world used… -
Re: Towards a portfolio
The models look good, but you have to work a lot on your texturing. Base color may work alright if you have a IBL environment or a really strong lightsetup / offline setup, but for game art its just not enough. Get some drybrushing, edge wear, dirt, rust maybe, difference in specularity and glossyness. Also your renders…
