Re: Environment Showcase - virtual texturing plugin for Unity 3.x Pro
This VT system integrates seamlessly with Unity's own texturing system. You can still use regular texturing for non-virtualized channels, e.g. semi-opaque surfaces, self-illuminated, light maps, etc. At the moment, due to some streaming limitations in Unity, only Diffuse (rgb+gloss/alphaTest) and Normals are being… -
Re: Chew Magna Fortress, UDK
Dan!, Gannon, Alberto, BenHenry, Bek, Rhoutermans, Jeff, Sugus, MadCarrot, Skiffy - Thanks guys, I'm really glad my latest updates are working [: Synyster - Streaming is hard for me as it chugs my laptop :( I plan to build an awesomeness computer if/when I get my first gig though =D Then I can play starcraft on extreme… -
Re: Painted texture, please critique!
It looks very cell shaded, not much in the way of extreme highlights or color to make the piece "Pop!". Without that depth of color while the mesh may be lower poly there is nothing to draw the eye or make me say wow. Be more extreme on the fur, make each "chunky strand" pop and give it detail, provide heightlights for the… -
Re: UDIM's?
UDIMs are a naming convention for textures that use multiple UV tiles rather than just one. https://www.fxguide.com/featured/udim-uv-mapping/ The advantage over putting everything in just one tile is that you can handle much more data this way. Rather than working with one 32768x32768 texture you can use 256 2048x2048… -
Re: [Portfolio] Talbot
I agree with the texture sizes, 256 and 512 are pretty much the work horses for props. 1024 for bigger custom props and wall tiles. 2048 is sky box big, actually I think sky boxes are now 4096? but still you should get the scale reference. I think unreal clamps texture size at 1024? So the originals you import may be 2048… -
Re: [Portfolio] Andreas Halonen
Well maybe I should work at a bit smaller size doing the handpainted texture. I'll try that next time. ^_^ About the rocktexture I made the normal with maya transfer/bake + a overlay with a crazybump normal generated from the diffuse. Dunno why I did both but thats what was done. The bridge I know I could or should slim… -
Re: Dismal Mountains
The good thing about an texture atlas is that it reduces the drawcalls on the GPU. The hassle of working with a texture atlas without the engine "doing the work" is not really worth it. An employer will see that you can work with assets that's fucking annoying to handle, nothing more. I worked with an engine that used… -
Re: aesir's sidescroller art
Cute, very clank, but you may be facing some hefty design problems. Sectaurs had some good points, but in addition to that, this character was design for up-close viewing, skinny arms, torus elbows, tiny knees, thin hands and detail between finger joint, etc. A lot of these things won't read at all or will just disappear… -
Re: What program?
[ QUOTE ] Im pretty amazed tulk that there are companies that would hire someone to design their game who had zero experience. If I owned a studio, you couldnt pay me enough to do that. [/ QUOTE ] Well, much like a junior artist wouldn't be creating the full art style, they'd be working off of other, more senior artists… -
Re: Customize Comp. vs Upgrading?
I just dropped $500 on my rig. But I got a fairly large overhaul for that sum. I got a new motherboard, a new processor, a new power supply, new RAM, and a new video card. It's all lower-end brands (for the most part) but I'm actually quite satisfied with the performance I'm squeezing out of it. The motherboard is an Asus…
