Re: Why so blue?
Ok, so after poking around and doing some reading and thinking on the problem, I'm starting to think my initial guess was right - that this is an issue of gamma correction. This means two things: #1 - You artist types arent just smoking crack or anything :P In fact actually whoever originally picked up on the whole "use a… -
Re: Артефакты в unity
Hi! Don't know what happened when you beveled the edges. If you did so using modifiers, I would double check the result in Unity or reimport the export, to make sure UVs didn't get messed up. Attached you find two examples illustrating what I meant previously (another loop on flat area, then have lightmap wrap around… -
Re: Rickenbacker Bass Guitar
I decided to re-assess my this pieces' textures ... again :) The original was too plain. The second was too overly chipped and the wear was too "painted on". I have learn much about texturing since then and I believe this is a major improvement. Less chipping, more roughness variation and more based on real examples. I'm… -
Zbrush Edge Control; New method?
Hi there. As I've been working on a pistol project I've gotten some good feed back, And some question on edge on control in zbrush. After seeing such interest in it, I wanted to see what i could come up with. The biggest thing i came up with was creating a retopologization in all quads, Then creating fast edge loops with… -
Re: Looking for friendly advice on how to get the ball rolling
To add to what fabiG says. Modding is a brilliant way to get started. Something as simple as reskinning assets or building maps for a game you play is a really good introduction to how game development works and you get that dopamine hit from seeing your thing running around on screen pretty rapidly. Keeping scope small at… -
Re: The Maya Cylinder Normal Map Problem
So what did you do to achieve the far right example? I see that the edges are jagged, but from the side you don't have wavy lines, which is what I'm after. All my examples / tests have the result of your middle cylinder. -
How to simulate old graphics?
Hey! Do you guys know what makes old graphics, old? Take a look at broodwar for example They are sprites made from 3d objects, but they have a unique look, maybe its the color limitation, maybe old render engines, what is it? Some more examples: -
Re: Getting a particle to stop
Not that hard, if I understand you correctly. Here's a super-simple example, max 8 format. Uses a UDynaFlect deflector, which lets you choose arbitrary geometry. Replace the particle system and you're good to go. http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/files/particles_filling_a_box.zip -
Re: Unreal shader resources?
I don't think that's an especially good example, i was just messing before going to bed ^^ You shouldn't look too much for complex examples and super large and impressive shading networks, some very basic effects can easily simulate a large range of materials :) -
HAIR!?
i saw some good hair examples from some of the entries in comicon challenge 2010, and the varga tut is a widely referenced method, but I think this topic needs exploring further by artist & engineers, or perhaps I just need more practice:) and another texture example I made with finer hairs
