Re: carreer advice
You're better than your site presents itself. Three thumbnails yet each have several different pieces under them. You need more breakdowns too. Wireframes, texture sheets, etc. And you can't be doing things like having a 2048 texture on the wood cart when it looks like a simple tiling wood could do the same job at 512. All… -
Re: BF2142 Now with Spyware?
I just came back from a Best Buy where I returned my opened copy. At first the two reps at the customer service desk refused to return it, but I pushed and eventually got them to summon the store manager. He came over, and actually read the notice. After that, he expressed his own disgust over this, refunded my money, then… -
Re: First model textured in substance painter -- Guidance well appreciated!
Pretty good so far. It could use a rim light and an image-based-lighting sphere to get some reflections and show off what you have done with the roughness layer. Right now it's hard to tell if there is even much of a roughness layer. Also that T-junction where the beam that's holding up the globe meets the table's ring… -
Re: theoretical pbr question, how does energy conservation work?
It's a misconception that you can't pick your diffuse/albedo value in a PBR system. Diffuse values will vary heavily for insulators depending on what color a material is. If you find a measured diffuse value for say, red paint, that doesn't you have to use that value for every type of paint, obviously blue paint or black… -
Re: Newb to high poly modeling
Megancheung: If I were you I would avoid that situation altogether. It's better to retopologize meshes and then UV unwrap the low poly version. The problem with decimation is that the edges tend to get all weird. Unfortunately that means that even if you DID preserve the UV's through the decimation process, your UV charts… -
Re: Animation exercises
Good stuff. Yay more animators! :D Your lip syncs seem to be a bit off on some of the mouth movements. From what I can see, sometimes they look on, but a lot of the time they only seem to be vaguely close to proper mouth positions. Are you looking at a mouth position chart while you do these? I always had those around when… -
Re: Advice on lightmaps in game engines
the workflow of making a "manual" lightmap-uv is fine. the "all code" solution prof means, basically unwraps geometry for you and tries to create huge uv charts for the lightmap. As we all know manual unwrapping cant be beaten, this is better if you have more organic/generic models. The automatic lightmappers mostly came… -
Re: Xbox 360 console has the quality improved enough?
Cool - thanks for all the responses, folks. @notman, you had a good point about the refurbs. It does make sense to stay away from them in the case of the 360. You also got me thinking about the PS3 vs. 360 in terms of the better games. But I didn't mention that I have a small box full of old original Xbox games, and it… -
Re: [UDK] Nature-y cabin scene
Zornx: Initially the idea was that it was like a cutout of a regular place (like a chart or graph kinda thing) so it wasn't ACTUALLY a floating island - but that might be a bit confusing. I did consider adding some sort of landing bay and even an airship, but I'm not sure about that yet. :) Mister_Nice_Guy:Not really the… -
Re: SPIKE TV VGA's...what a crock (of course)
