Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
IMO, the main advantages of using tangent space: * Because the normal is relative to the face, Z always faces up. - That means normals with more precision when data is quantized, usually to 8bit per-axis. (128 vs 256 positive Z values.) - Z can be omitted and quickly derived on-the-fly without any extra info. - Storing… -
Re: How do I get better in weapon concept art?
Thanks but,"Are there any books that can help me to learn the fundamentals? (or things similar to that?)" (I already watched "Your first day with Photoshop CC" - http://www.digitaltutors.com/tutorial/1238-Your-First-Day-with-Photoshop-CC) Do you recommend me to learn concept art by watching all of thesevideo serieses (the… -
Re: Doom 2016
First day buy for me. Doom is simple: You're alone, you have cool weapons, you kill a shit load of demons in a violent manner. That's it. And that looks like what we are getting. I don't know what people were wanting from this game, but more than likely you can find it elsewhere. I don't want cover fire, I don't want… -
Re: normal maps and smoothing groups
Vassago: I dunno quite what the problem you're experiencing is - are you using the DX Display of Standard Material with a Normal Bump map type in the Bump slot? Here's a test I did in Max7 and the Max8 trial today. This mesh is 256 triangles, and has UV symmetry down the centre. As you can see, Max7's DX Display screws up… -
Re: SDK - Slaughtguy
Aye, needs more shape to him, grab verts, move em about, make them all count dude :D It's good base to work from though, just needs things like the brow looking at, and how the nose meets it too- seeing that the face texture is not mirrored, you could in theory do a flat surface from the front facing planes of the nose and… -
Re: Question about sci-fi concept art
3dtotal is an old site but they have tons of "the making of" tutorials where authors share their process. but I will tell you it's very trial and error. I can tell you from watching Tor Frick's stream and others, a lot of industry pros have a "just do it" mentality. The only way to get better at something is to actually do… -
Re: Could someone help me with setting up AO map in Unreal...?
Sadly, this hasn't helped either. :-\ I've tried changing it to both 128 and 256 but the seam is still there. It's very confusing as I've noticed these seams don't show up in my 'render environment' I've set up, but a new default empty scene does, so I figured it must be something to do with the lighting. Also, if I put… -
Re: LowPoly Bamboo Textured
Really good for your first time texturing, I assume the image of the far right is the bitmap? Can't really see the boundaries but I think you could have gotten a lot more resolution out of the UV space. Also, for something like this a 1024 is too big, 512 or even 256 would be better. Cylinder tip: If you aren't going to be… -
Re: Black Friday/ Cyber Monday haul
I actually like ORIGIN because it allows me to install to any directory I want ( with only 256 megs of ssd space ) It's nice to be able to install only performance critical applications and games to the ssd sys drive. Steam as far as I know will not allow more than 1 directory. ( is this not the case? ) Batman Ark city was… -
Re: Junk Air Tugboat - WIP
So, I'm hoping to finally return to this project within the next month. I've been focusing on finishing all the work on my site; and this project is the one people seem to love the most. My biggest hurdle is that I have no idea how to go about texturing the damned thing. I was hoping folks could give me some tips? What I'm…
