Hi guys. I have a question regarding the use of texture sets, usually for production how many texture set for a model ? is there a default number or it depends of the importance of the object and how it will appear in the seance ( is there any rule/ rules to help determinant the number ) ? and a more personal question, i'm…
On an art forum if you dislike something its better to just type it and say why you dislike it. That is more helpful for feedback than just saying you don't like it. While the greentooth reaction adds a "like" to the post it also cuts down on the number of quote replies that just say I agree. No ones feelings are really…
Just as a heads up for the BSP lightmap res.... its actually inverse of how you're probably thinking. So Lightmap resolution of FBX's in UDK/UE4 are determined by the pixel resolution of how you set it (ie: 32 lightmap res on an FBX = 32x32 texture resolution), however the Lightmap res on BSP defaults to 32 and gets…
You're being very wasteful in your approach to the wall. It's very uncommon for a long flat wall to be a single mesh with its own textures and high-poly sculpt. If you were to instead use tileable textures with trims and decals you'd be able to create an infinite number of vastly different walls from a very small number of…
my iq is 200 i swear Edit: But seriously, I've got an IQ of 131 apparently Which is BS because I'm usually the dumbest person in the room where ever I go. Why do we care so much about IQ anyway? I can see in this thread that we've all met people with supposedly high IQs but are as dumb as a plank, online and offline. So we…
Happy to help! You don´t really need to multiply the spec, but if you want to increase it slightly you can multiply it with a much smaller number like maybe 1.5 or so. you could also add a Power before the multiply to get more contrast. I prefer to make the changes in photshop, unless i´m creating a spec from a diffuse…
Recently I just discovered the Dell XPS 18 which looks very promising. It's available now though it's pretty expensive if you get the 8gb i7 model. Would love to hear if someone has tested it with ZBrush http://zbrushtablet.blogspot.com/ I've recently started saving $$ for this and doing research. I can't count the number…
It's not about numbers but as xoliul says about how much drawings you need yourself to be satisfied with the idea for the neat version . There are artists that have very clear pictures of what they want without doing any drawings first like marko djurdjevic for example who says he doesn't do thumbnails when he draws a…
As discussed in great length, those numbers do not count digital downloads. Sales numbers are still physical sales right now. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/tomb-raider-fails-to-reach-sales-target/1100-6405929/ But yeah when you have to pay A-list celebs to be in your commercial spots and that means you need another 25…
