Im using textools like was suggested, but ran into the following issues: 1. I lose the UVS when converting from UVW to XYZ in textools . I setup a plane attached to the mesh I'm unwrapping and map it to fill the uv space (000 to 111) but the uv's are lost when running the textools script which means my ref plane needs to…
It's looking pretty good, but there are two things that are currently bugging me about this: First, it doesn't actually look like wood. Unless it's a burl on the side of a tree or something, wood isn't generally that chaotic and non-linear. Even in WoW, wood follows a pretty linear pattern with a few swirls thrown in for…
Probably some of the problems are caused because the large room has 2 smallish windows and a balcony facing away from the sun. First thing I'd do regardless is crank up the sky light intensity and the 'sun' light intensity. The sun should be a bit brighter; consider most programs vaguely calibrate light so that a…
agitat3d, I'm not sure if you mean roughness or specular values in your OP. It seems like you're talking about roughness/glossiness though. And in that case materials hardly have a definitive roughness value. Every material (aluminum, plastic etc...) have endless roughness variations. Think about how rough a surface can be…
JessyMoody, You make good points lol...you really do. Yes I was a US Marine until 2006. I did do very well in the Marine Corps because I can take getting yelled at and following orders. My wife is even a US Marine....so you tell me about the getting yelled at lol. Yes my resume says that because it doesn't fully reflect my…
[ QUOTE ] Well ok Daz and a few others who may be cynical.. why destroy his artwork? He is a good artist. [/ QUOTE ] Woa there hold your horses buddy. I never destroyed anyones artwork. I told him he had talent. And I sure as arse never sent anyone any 'hate mail'. I *did* suggest that hiding behind a fake persona was…
No, I'll disagree with you that "almost half of the user base bought it used somewhere down the road". I played Dead Space. I didn't buy it new, I didn't buy it second hand, instead I rented it from Lovefilm. The Blockbuster video that I walk past at night is about 50% film and 50% games these days, so I suspect the rental…
Mine is the worse layout - but damn, I've done a LOT of shopping for keyboards this past year (they tend to get pounded or snapped in half sometimes ) and it's really hard work (at least in the UK) to find one that hasn't got some crappy ergo-layout wank, misplaced/rotated cursor/home/insert clusters , stupid flat little…
I agree that I'm not entirelly thrilled with the visual quality - as I mentioned earlier, I'm personally disappointed in the texture resolution being so low. Looking at a similar game in terms of style, I think Max Payne 2 had crisper 2D work. However... I don't assume this is necessarily a flaw of the Source engine, or…
Well, i didnt enjoy the novie that much either. I think it had too mucha ction and not enough dialog. Almost like a porn action movie. I was expecting much more. The thing about Daniel Craig, well, it's ok for him to be more agressive as a bond, since it's supossed to be that this is is first time being a Double 0, he got…
