I think the dirt ont he sign is too intense, and too splotchy. If it's just been sitting around for a while, without rain or anything, it would have a pretty even coat of dirt: http://www.uniquetextures.com/textures/medium/01559.jpg If it's been beaten up, it'll have dirt, rust and scratches:…
Hello there folks I just want to hear your opinion and probably learn techniques about LODs. I'm not new to LODs, but I want to hear you and probably learn. Right now I'm creating 3 LODs with the following values 20K, 7.5K, 2.5K Tris. -Do you guys care about appearing seams on second and 3rd LODs? -Do you use different…
looks nice so far but it has this "too much SSS" look to it, pretty much everyone in games is doing, its almost like people want to shove in your face that they have this feature. Hes too translucent and too red from what I can see, but im not a big anatomy guy, also he looks ill as a consequence. All the references are a…
So I had these two done at the moment. This was more a putting-pen-to-tablet work than really doing any brain storming. Part of the designs are inspired by the Songbird statue (sitting on my desk), a Dishonored lightning tower (since the art dump), a mysterious obelisk sticking out of grass, the usual fantasy floating orbs…
my problem is that I have a vast amount of work that i haven't finished. I am talking 10 years worth. I have multiple revisions of the same head/body/clothes etc, but can't seem to delete the old ones because there is 'some' merit in the bad ones even. maybe I am just a bit too ocd at times. I did try and delete a bunch of…
Ok so I arrived in Montreal on Friday. So far Montreal has been amazing, I got a ride into Calgary from Canmore by this crazy Spanish lady who inisisted on doing 80 when the speed limit was 110 because she wanted to make the trip in under half a tank of gas. So far in Montreal, I've been traveling by bike and have seen a…

In the mid day break i went to the city to have a large coffee with my brother. He bought 3 old school cd's for me, to remember…
It's sad to see how some old guys here act like a troll when someone don't predicate their fucking religion. A bandaid? i would say a method to keep hooked their base players, to force them to play hours and hours like nerds. The amount of players that left the game was insane on its day, they removed servers and in europe…
Basically, try to avoid anything that makes the silhouette drastically change between two neighbouring LODs. Deleting edges on UV border is bad news too. Tangent space normal maps can be surprisingly robust at a distance, but still try to avoid introducing really big changes in vertex normal direction. As you get to the…
Does game character must have one texture for all LODs or each LOD must have separate texture and different UV Layouts ? For example we have three LODs, as a result we need 3 different UV-mappings and 3 diffuse textures for each LOD ?
