Tie Interceptors strike back!
This is a new version of a very old personal project, a Star Wars classic, a squadron of Imperial Tie Interceptors. I revamped an old model in order to practice (and have some fun) with HDR painting and compositing. I've always been inspired by 2D science fiction illustrations and movies from the 70s, so I tried to convey… -
Re: Photo Reference Packs from Nomad Photo Reference
Photo Reference Pack: Blue Lagoon - Iceland Download on Artstation In this Icelandic pack you will get references about the whole biome of the Blue Lagoon from panoramas to details (foliage, textures, rocks).

Re: The "ultimate trim" technique from Sunset Overdrive
I made my reference normal map by baking down a beveled cube. Of course for UE4 you'll need to pick from the top side for the bottom normals and the bottom side for the top normals. It works 100% correctly with 90 degree angle hard edges only--otherwise you'll get a slightly wrong result if you use e.g. 70 degree hard… -
Re: Fuck you Lucas, this is just too much!
I actually tried to re-watch the prequels the other day. I remember them to be ok films, but now that I'm older... Jesus. Soo bad, I imagine these were made specifically for the children that were raised on Power Rangers, Digimon and such. Stupid gimmicks to attract attention, crap storytelling, laughable vfx. Atm, I… -
Re: Good way to pack many UVs?
No, that's a simple operation that could be done in max just as easily. It's literally just a pack normalize. What I think you should do is spend some time to simplify the smoothing groups to be much less so there aren't so many different islands in the uvs. As long as you bake properly with an averaged cage then you don't… -
Re: Stylizing your art; getting rid of the greeble
Make it functional. For a sci fi ship, it's one thing to cover it with random squares, and another thing to cover it with functioning vents, actual compartments with doors that escape pods can come out from, turrets, and such. Also keep in mind, when a technology is first 'invented' you SEE the mechanics of how it works.… -
Re: Netflix To Split Streaming & DVD Plans
Me: Netflix, why are you raising your rates? Netflix: Because we can. Me: So... isn't that douchebaggery? You hook people with one deal then switch it on them? Netflix: You can always take your business elsewhere... oh wait BWHAHAHAHAAAA! Me: Sum-b!tch... motha... why I atta... oh ok here's my card, have your way with… -
Re: [UE4] - Spaceship Interior
Hey man geo looks cool you need to try and minimize the lights, you have way too many colors going on and it's bringing it down. Try and think about it like this 70 main color, this establishes feel and llook, then 30% more dark value and a subtle complimentary color. Then add small small amounts of other colors but only… -

Re: Figuring Out Dota Reborn Model Tool
Ah, you the man :D Thanks for helping BohSheh. Was kind of giving up, went back and tried again. Everytime I added a remap and recompiled it erased it. So I added the remap, hit 'SAVE' and the texture popped into place :D (The normals also show correctly when the texture is applied.) ============= Well, cool to get a model…
