When I was at 8ml we had an inhouse tool to "paint" the direction, or sort of "comb" the direction. How it worked was you had a 3d model, basic 3d paint interface and you would paint the direction map by literally drawing brush strokes in a certain direction. We used this for some horse textures to good effect.…
95% in PC Gamer UK, nay bad mon. I preordered the special edition with the bid daddy figurine For folk in the UK: Go to http://www.getupandplay.co.uk/ and click "No purchase necessary" (wee text near the bottom of the screen), fill it out (didn't work when I tried @yahoo.co.uk email, but gmail worked). You get emailed a…
I would maybe invest in a good CPU such as 4930k (or even 4960k if you have alot of dough). When it comes down to rendering and anything 3D in general the regular ones does not cut it. I would also get 32GB ram, i have 16 and on several occasions had to close down apps due to lack of ram. But as your budget is fairly low,…
hey man, cool stuff. i should do some of these.... i'm assuming you want some crits so i'll just be blunt. I think the shapes that make up these figures is unappealing, and the proportions are wrong as well. in addition, the line work isn't very interesting... and the perspective doesn't appear to be right either. IMO, you…
Hello! I have been working on this for a bit now, but I forgot to keep it updated here on Polycount. This is my Nightcrawler Marvel Rivals Fanart based on the concept by @ishaliart (Her and my artstation are linked below where you can see the progress there). This version of Nightcrawler is intended to be a Strategist…
One thing I personally have to be careful of is a potential implication that whatever I post as an admin might be perceived as coming from a “voice of authority”. But most of the time it’s not, I’m just another artist sharing my work and offering feedback. Shrug.
Joy Ride Turbo has been released to the public! My rave review below. I have finished the entire game and I am still playing it to set times against my friends. I’m a bit biased having worked on the game, but I think it’s a very fun quality product and I am quite proud of it. For those that don’t know Kinect has been…
(disclaimer: not really going on about The Run here, but the past games and people prefering them) You know it's not just the stupid customizing that gets taken to the absolute depths of tastelessness (it's gone so far that you can still see the influence those games and movies had, on the street, when some boy racer with…
Polycount’s Ryan Jackson talked recenty with Ryan Clark about the development of Crazybump, a tool most game artists now use in their regular arsenal of tools. Ryan Jackson - Before we begin let me just say congratulations! Since Crazybump has been out of Beta it's been quite the success! We've certainly seen a ton of…
Great idea and work so far! I think restricting movement to only the player character in view might become frustrating in cases where you want to do something simple like moving to a location without needing to first ensure both bots can see the destination and eachother during transit. I would keep the current control…
