Re: weapon attachments and FN SCAR.. high poly!
Yikes, 2 year old thread!! Well i decided to come back around to this and make a low poly and bake it down. Tri-count is sitting at 12K. The piece is for an indie project, but also for my portfolio. But i optimized the piece centered around the fact that its going to be seen at a first person view. BTW - keep in mind that… -
Re: ZBrush - Dynamesh causing strange stretching of vertices in all directions
Good to know, thanks. I come from a physical clay background and am used to blocking a shape out looser before details. Zbrush still feels very unintuitive and I'm possibly taking tips from the wrong sources while working a little blind. It's on 128 with dynamesh. I'll try it lower at this stage in the future. Did you… -
Re: Making Of - Escape Challenge Landscape
thanks for all the nice feedback! :) -Em'- : The terrain texture I generated in World Machine and the color you can paint onto the terrain are basically the same. The detail Textures like rocks, grass etc. are multiplied onto this color. That’s why it’s important to keep the texture mean at around 128 and the color… -
Re: Sketchbook: Kyle Field
I'm taking a small breather from the ongoing Motorcycle project (Ambient Occlusion Maps are all baked out). I figured I'd do something a little smaller as a quick Prop Study. Time Spent: 4.5 Hours. Poly Count: 120 Tris Texture Maps: 1024 x 1024 Normal, Diffuse, and Specular Maps. Software Used: Maya LT, Marmoset 3. I will… -
Re: UDK lightmap problem
Hm, if 256px is overkill....that's sound a bit harsh. That would be using 128px, but i'm not sure how much info you can put on texture of that size....and i just can't seem to get good result with 512, let alone 128.....I'll play a bit more and study lighting more, and then i'll post few pics, maybe someone has some idea… -
Re: jade texture / material how to
ok I made the specular map mostly white and blurred so that the carvings dark look dark but blurred and the most f the area is withe light blurred... the BSLightingShaderProperty is the property that allows to select the severall textures to use .. but indeed I found those two settings : glossiness float 65.0000 specular… -
Re: At what point are you willing to spend money on a ftp game?
I have spent around 120-130 in Mech Warrior Online. This includes the $30 to start in the beta before release. I held off for quite some time before spending more than that 30. I have spent not a dime anywhere else. This has everything to do with my friends playing and us doing co-op coordinated plays. Infact if it wasn't… -
Re: wagon wheel
I'm happy with the axle piece at 36 polygons and the spokes have 3 sided at the outside and 4 on the axle totaling another 84. 120 in total that would make the wheel 144. I'm going to set myself a new limit of 200 total, I think 100 was too cheap. Even though I'm happy with the center I'm going to hack it up and trade it… -
Re: Max: 1:2 Textures and correcting UVW
James Haywood posted this on the Autodesk board awhile back: "If you don't want it to distort while you're rotating you can change the Render Width and Render Height numbers in the Options window. The actual numbers don't matter as much as the ratio. For example, if you have a 1024x512 texture map, change the Render Height… -
Re: XSI+ZB+PS pipeline viability question
Yes you can upgrade it - I emailed Adobe at the time, and they told me I could upgrade. The upgrade is around 1/4 of the price of the full package, so you can pick up a sealed boxed version of 7 for about £120 and upgrade to CS2 for £140 and still save £200+ This kind of thing is common:…
