Re: Uv advice for my little old humble shack
Are you working off a reference? What's your plans for this model? Are you going to take it into UDK? Does it need to all be one mesh or can you break it into modular pieces? Are you going to bake anything onto it? Personally, I like to take everything into UDK. That being the case I'd break it into modular pieces just so… -
Re: How do you decide where to use pure geometry or Normalmaps?
It depends. Will there be Anti-Alias, the timeframe, poly-counts, ... maybe there will be limited texture space (for mobile). Everything has to be taken into account. Its generally good to know different approaches and technics. I use custom vertex normals a lot, whenever I dont have the time or dont feel the need for a… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - November & December 2017 (51)
@Mason_Colderson Yes, i am making a radio with steampunk feeling. @jewski-bot I think if you make it sci-fi it's gonna be easier having to deal with "realistic" working, since you can just make a cable/pipe coming out of a panel, and get away with the engineering difficulties. I wanted to make a robot with pipes, gear etc.… -
Re: Rail Track Diorama
I like it so far. Bit of a shame that you're wanting to call it a day on this one. In terms of modularity, you've got this part right; an entire modular platform asset that's usable. If you planned on taking it further, you could build an entire train platform, complete with a building at the back. Which station are your… -
Re: ASSETS 3D AAA
My first wish was to work that scene as a single mesh as you said, but after talking with my friend (I will work with, on this project) It's better to have different assets, because thank to this we will be abble to use the same textures and some assets to create other stuff. About the big pillar/rock I will do some test :… -
Re: [Portfolio] Petr Sokolov
Thanks man! Nice to hear it from you. Maggot was my inspiration at PREDW5 :thumbup: Hi, Sasha!) Thank you for your detailed reply! My site is bad) I know it) Maybe i will ask one of my friends to make it looks better. All houses was my first work experience. There are many mistakes. I will think about your advices. When i… -
Re: Pet Peeve: Sloppy work. Or: How Anal Am I?
Thanks for moving it Mop! I don't run into naming issues as much (well, spelling. . .grrrrr) but the one that bugs me is a single max file with 150 modular pieces that fit together on a 10' grid, but with each object placed at some arbitrary x y z coordinate. And then people wonder why our modular pieces have gaps or… -
Re: Music creation programs
Reaper is great for recording audio, but its midi (control of samplers/synthesizers/pianos/etc... with musical notes) is somewhat lacking. Flstudio is a great program, and like Reaper, very cheap for what it does (and it has lifetime free upgrades!). It has a very specific workflow, much unlike other ones, though. It… -
Re: Japanese Zen / Stone Garden
Hey crazyfingers, thanks for the words! I definitely intend to get going from this point forward with only tillable, modular pieces. These pieces here were in part just me finding my flow with things. Now that I got it all down, you will start to see much more modularity in my models and textures. If only I didn't have to… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Game art optimisation (do polygon counts really matter?)
I spent a solid few months of optimizing polys, lightmap UV channels, collish meshs for everything in UT and the act of stripping 2million polys out of a level generally improved the FPS by 2 or 3 frames. Polycount is not the huge issue people were rightly sure it was previously. The bigger issue now is texture resolution…
