Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | July - August (91)
@Ewan Nice to learn what scale you extracted from the concept :+1: I think it's a bit of a balancing act between capturing the feel of the concept and having a good play space. I suppose if one wanted to keep the concepts feel of verticality, the pillars could be made taller so the room proportions are preserved. Here is… -
Re: Need Help With Normal Maps in Maya
That gross green color in your normal map usually means you have flipped face normals. If you work with Backface Culling on, you can catch flipped faces before you export. The UV unwrap feels almost like an Automatic Unwrap. There are a lot of elements that could be stitched and some that could be stacked; some of your… -
Re: photoshop actions
Does clicking the little icon to the left of the "save" bit not make the dialog window pop up, allowing you to custom name it? It should turn red to indicate a "stop," and should pick up afterwards.

Re: Some questions from a beginner
Welcome to Polycount :) Intersecting geometry is usually ok. Non welded geometry is ok in 99% of the game engines out there. Deleting faces not seen by the player is ok. Rather than rely on booleans or pro-booleans you should learn how to merge up different pieces of geometry with the other modeling tools you have… -
Re: Xbox One
I am speaking about xbox (original) to xbox 1. Which is direct x86 to x86. 360 used the powerpc and thus needed a game by game conversion. Here, if they, (Microsoft), wanted to, it would not be difficult to embed a xbox original virtual OS and use the disk drive to play original xbox games without anything else needed from… -
