Re: A handful of random questions about texturing and types of maps
1) I looked for a while for a master list of common materials, and what spec should be used for them. I never found it. As far as I know, it's just something you need to eyeball, especially since different lighting setups make spec look completely different. If it helps at all, here's what I tend to do (on a scale of 0 =… -
Re: UVW Unwrapping help
- for more technical models, quick planar mapping, relaxing, and stitching is usually the way i start things. - try to keep your uv edges as straight as possible at the cost of some stretching, this will downres better and save you uv space. - i tend to group uv shells 'logically', so the guns's optics would go in one… -
Re: Performance question : multiples materials with custom AO
I jump on this today. I'm currently planning a new environments and I was grouping all the information I had about the performances in the UDK. I decided to do some tests by myself to be sure. And I meet a problem. This is probably me doing something wrong. I have made 2 meshes : the geometry is identical but one has only… -
Re: Concept Artist graduate - advice, critique, etc welcome
In the main, all of your characters (especially the people in suits, not monsters) have similar problems in two fundamentals aspects for concept-art: 1) Silhouette, the relations between shapes and masses inside the object. As an abstract set of shapes, the characters don't look good. 2) Communicative component of the… -
Re: Need help with Import Export for Zbrush3.1 and Max
Exploding issue is quite popular over the pipeline between ZB and any of 3d apps AFAIK. Especially, with dealing with ZB 3.1 seems to be getting tougher to work around. I have a situation same as yours, and here are a couple things you may try as starter. (1) When you re-import UVed mesh from max to ZB (3.1), "switch… -
Re: Anybody here from the old Milkshape 3D forums ('97-'01) ?
To those wondering. Jaw dropped when reading the thread title, I was 1-2 years later on, p.c. downloaded it the other day to check the format export options & to remember the old times. (i am not even that old really just came in "young".) -
Re: WIP Rat King (Looking for feedback and advice)
Hi Fabi_G, Kanga, and Noren. Thank you all for your help, I do appreciate you all taking the time to help out someone who is quite new to all of this and answering some silly questions. I am wanting to become a 3D artist for game development, I am thinking I might try at prop or environment artist so will put… -
Re: Handed Painted 3D Environment
I really like #1 and #3 the most, #2 just feels like a less interesting version of #1, the green mist really adds some more color that breaks up the scene. It's a hard call, I think between #1 and #3, #1 is far more interesting, I want to look at that one much more then #3, but at the same time, #3 feels much more fitting.… -
Re: UDK Dimensions
Unreal Units are Flexible. "In all of the Unreal Tournament games, 1 Unreal Unit is equal to 2 cm. In Gears of War approximately 2 Unreal Units equal 1 inch, because the characters are 156 units tall and a floor of a building is 256 units tall. This was decided on for grid purposes and so our cover height worked out well.… -
Color by UV Coordinates, UDK
I was wondering if UDK has built in functionality to determine the UV coordinates of a mesh. For instance, I have a plane with four quadrants, each quad's UV's are in the corresponding quadrant of the UV grid (top right in the 1,1 space, bottom right in the 1,-1 space etc.). With those coordinates in mind, I now want the…
