Re: Facing Everyday Objects
Yes and no. How many sides you use depends on a case by case basis; budgets, scale of the object, how often is it used, how significant is it, if animation hides some roughness, and so on. But one rule of thumb I use is to use about 150% the amount of sides for 200% the size. Here's a mockup based around the base circle… -
Re: UV Unwrap For Stylized Prop
is the asset gonna have Level of Detail meshes? then yes you want those straight. the amount of stretching here is nothing baking/3d texturing can't handle. -
Re: Portfolio Review
creating a second page is a really great idea Lukes3D. unfortunately i wasn't able to look through all of your work due to my own personal constraints, but looking closer at your work, if this portfolio is being aligned toward being a freelance artist, i feel these are your three strongest pieces in that regard: 1, 2, 3.… -
UV Unwrapping Best Practice Factors & Priorities
Well a friend asked me about uv mapping priorities and I kind of went overboard. So as a mini-tutorial, here is a first draft on things to keep in mind when manually uv unwrapping. Any insight, correction or revision to what I have laid out would be appreciated, as I hope that this advice can be further refined into a full… -
DX11 HLSL Tesselation issue. 1BILLION POLYS (or not as it happens)
So I have started writing my own DX11 Tesselation shader, at a hope of looking at how they could be used for VFX.

I think I am passing the right data sets through… -

Re: Garrosh Hellscream
A couple of things: -Like everyone has said, your specular information is all over the place. His skin looks like it's made out of foil and the metal looks like it's factory new. Basically, like mentioned above, everything reads as the same material and it's causing him to look flat. -I'd bake the chains going around the… -

Re: Baking Issue (Again)
Alright, so two things: A. This is the bare min. amount of geometry you can add to fix the issue. There is still a slight amount of waviness here, but really it shouldn't ever be a problem. B. You can actually do a lot with your highpoly mesh to help the issue too. For this section of your mesh, there really isn't any… -
Re: Lightmass problems: artifacts/stains
Yes, that's normal behavior. Lightmass needs to cast a lot of photons and calculate all the bounces. In order to speed this up a little bit, they have tweaked the amount of photons, distance of photons, number of bounces and many many other features in order to speed it up a bit. The blotches you see is usually either…
