Re: Good game art colleges?
I would recommend going the self-taught route. There is a ton of great info on the web for free, or very low cost (compared to traditional tuition). Especially if you want to specialize. This forum is a great place to learn. Work hard on your art. Post your work for critique. Take the advice to heart and improve your work.… -
Re: Quixel releases Megascans!
I'm interested in any info on how the scanning works, particularly with the capture of foliage/atlas textures. I have tried out a bit of this stuff myself as a hobby, and know how to capture albedo with cross polarized photography, normals with directional lighting and gloss/roughness as a difference of polarized and non… -
Re: Creating a good metal texture or: My metal is not metal enough!
Steffan Morrell's tutorial that HAWK linked is great you should definitely check it out, there's a lot of info to learn from. That being said, there are two major elements that are wrong or missing in your material. The specular should actually be a flat grey scale for these two materials. You're reflecting them with color… -
Re: Unity Glows
@Richard Kain: Thank you for the information, and yeah, I better start learning shaders. Thankfully there's tons of info in the internet, I'll start reading it and post my experiments.

Re: [WIP] 70's Abandoned Motel
Thanks latewhiterabbit and zipfinator, for all that good info. Both of you commented on the wallpaper. I was trying to go with a look of mold and water damage, but it does look like I was trying to go for a peeling effect. That is going to be my next thing to fix. In this update I fixed a few things such as the lights and… -
Re: aquaboy
the diffuse map by nature is simply colour information though it tends to be gud to have a small amount of lighitng in. If you got doom3, look around all the texture files to get a rough idea exactly how much lighting info u cud put, it's minimal if any. The secret lies into a succesful balance between details put into the… -
Re: Valve considering user funded game development
Actually, I just watched the video and I think this is what he's talking about: There would be a website where you could go an check out games in development. Each game would have a page with standard info like how far along it is, screenshots, info about the devs, etc. People would invest in it continuously. So, if the… -
Re: Best Consumer Digital Camera for Artists?

Surely having video will be a nice feature, 1080 thats even cooler, but for my current purposes I will be more than happy with a camera that can capture good enough real life photo references for… -
Re: I knew Blizzard was popular...
The amount of interest is undeniable, but the goodie bag mount is not a factor... well it probably is but folks are gonna be disappointed. When you signed up for the tix, you had to give a character's name and infos. That's the exact same info you have to provide when redeeming other special items, such as mounts from the… -
Re: can't get normal to show in viewer...
Make sure your viewport is running in the highest DirectX mode - go to Customize -> Preferences -> Viewports tab, then look at the Configure/Change Display Driver info near the bottom - if it says OpenGL, then change it to DirectX 9 if possible, otherwise DX 8.1. If your graphics card is getting old, it might not be…
