Re: in aniticipation of :: Assassin's Creed
Rorshach: I too preordered a Limited Edition copy of Mass Effect but was told recently that was a no go for in store purchases that now it was only for online purchases thru gamestop.com. :/ Either we're screwed or the employee there I talked with had no clue what is going on. If they come back the day I go to pick it up… -
Re: Ork Trukk for UT3 (image heavy?)
Gorkamorka is my main inspiration, loved the game. I'm doing gork and mork team colour variants. So @whats_true no red paint job I'm afraid, but I'll see how I crack on with the gork and mork themes and might add some 40k paint variants for some more colour. Cheers for all the comments, I'll share some of the techy bits if… -
Re: Dump (Big Download)
Hey thanks guys for the crits. It seems like my 3D still needs some work but I'm glad everyone like the beach concept since I think it came out really well. Sectaurs: Yeah, I have been pretty busy. David and I are working with this company doing some contract stuff so not a whole lot of progress on L2 recently. KDR:… -
Re: When making a scene in UE4, how much decals is too much decals?
They can get pretty expensive, pretty fast but it really depends on how you're using decals, how big the bounding boxes are, what they effect and the biggest factor is how complex the shaders are. I think if they overlap, they can be more costly also. I believe it causes any mesh that is hit by a decal to be rendered… -
Re: XNormal - Normal Map Comes Out Blank
The tip triangle on the underside of the boot is missing or infinitely small (in the UV's). Not sure if thats causing your issues but worth fixing anyway. Some general comments on good uv'ing too: 1) Overlapping pieces - you should offset one of the pieces that are mirrored/overlapped (arms) so only one exists in the 0,0… -
Re: Thompson M1A1 (Nub Version)
You're on the right track. Texture-wise, I'd suggest you play around with the specular maps some more. Have a look at some wood-grain alphas like this one: http://www.creativecrash.com/system/photos/000/011/555/11555/big/screen1.jpg?1251121141 You could also use that to develop a normal map on your model. If you have a… -

Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
Not trying to be a dick, but do you have even a cursory knowledge of how these things work? My knowledge stops at right about 'cursory' and it's pretty obvious to me how doing it 'correctly' is probably about a million times as expensive as just rendering it four times as fast. Your 30 fps game with film camera quality… -
Re: Art Tests : How much time to spend?
Anthony raises some good points. A portfolio of failed art tests is just FAIL. That said if you got an interview out of it I think it's acceptable to use it in your portfolio. If you're just starting out then maybe use it. I tend to take it on a case by base basis. Use your friends and family. Ask them to rank your…
