I tried this and found it pretty neat, but now I use a daylight bulb in my room tinting everything peach doesn't work. My eyes don't seem to get that tired now I've swapped to a daylight bulb, I'd definitely recommend one!
I vote packed too. Swizzling for normal maps usually meant swapping existing channels to get around compression. Edit: I see what you're getting at for the Wiki, I'm not sure what kind of name to give this minimalist approach to packing this way.
If you bake the mesh uniquely, and added smoothing groups to match your UV seams before the back, you DO NOT want to flip them, but if you are using a generic tiling texture it /may/ be better to swap them, I'd like to see more testing.
Yes, this would have been hilarious with any of our regulars. HIL-ARE-I-OUS, i tell you. Maybe not so much with someone who was slagged of fur-real, and who is new. Or have i just got a stick up my arse?
I recall hawkprey shared some of the early concepts for the body armor. The first drafts looked like SWAT gear, and it just became more and more exaggerated until they were super chunky. I thought the thinner body armor looked a bit better.
Impressive to see how non representative polycounters are with respect to the rest of the nation, perhaps there is something about artists that sways their political stance. 1 non US vote for Bush, hmnn. Somtimes scott i am sure you do it just to be contrair tpe
It started with a torso sculpt but i ended up spending more time on the head and kept the torso as a sketch, the back especially is a bit of a mess. But any feedback is highly appreciated. (I also realized a bit too late that the eyeballs are wayyyy too big once i swapped them out for textured ones).
Seems like most everyone I know has one. What games are must gets? So far I'm really into: Flight Control Sway TaxiBall Peggle (I know I"m late to the party on that one. When's the Plants vs Zombies iPhone port coming?) What games is everyone else into on it?
I got the numbers straight from looking at their (extracted) models in a 3D app. The LOD swap is just my assumption based on how close you tend to get during gameplay to these models - as in not very on a console that can only render native 1080p. For native 4K this generation the situation might look different.
Man, this just broke my heart. I was all excited today and saw the tracking info that it was waiting for me at me apartment. Oh well. I suppose I'll try it out and worst case scenario maybe I can swap it out. That artdock is SUPER badass though. good stuff!
