Re: London PC meet! 7th April 2012!
Added! I have be talking with gir and we decided that we need to set a deadline for the maybes to confirm their attendance. Due to the huge amount of people attending, we need to book a table and it's doubtful that Nandos will accomodate such a large number and seeing as they don't usually allow bookings, it looks like we… -
Re: Setting up floaters and baking Ambient Occlusion
Is there some reason people aren't using anything that can take the normal map and generate an AO from that? or am i missing something? if you need a free AO baker XNormal is still useful for this even in the tools section or options section (i forget) the heightmap section if it doesn't have an AO option the Height one… -
Re: The realistic skin, muscle, and gore systems in the upcoming game "ILL" - How is it optimized?
Well I think at the core RDR is just using linear blending between two normal maps, flexed vs. extended, based on the angles between the bones. There's likely some setup to control blending in different regions (four legs, neck area, what else?), and probably using mirrored UVs to take advantage of bilateral symmetry and… -
Re: PowerPreview: High Quality Nitrous Previews (3ds Max)
I’m using it in Max 2025. I really just change a couple settings before hitting Go… adjust the interval to 1 sec, set resolution to 1920x1080, and point the directory and the file type to PNG. -
Re: How many textures sets for game-ready character?
This is a super simple example in Maya and UE. The base mesh is modeled as is, UVs are exactly the same and laid out in the first channel for both cubes. The material in UE is setup to apply specific elements to only one of the vertex colors (very rudimentary example). Viewing and assigning vertex colors differs amongst… -

Eye candy: Meet Buck
I have a bit of eye candy for you today in the form of a sweet nugget of a student film by the title: "Meet Buck" It's a classic tale of a young man meeting his girlfriend's overprotective father for the first time with a few unexpected anthropomorphic twists in there. Enjoy! [vimeo clip_id="17535548" height="" width="650"] -
Re: Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
Hi! I had a moment to look at the car. Assuming you don't want to do many further edits and are set on baking, I would would mainly optimize UV space to get as much out of the texture as possible. Offset and stack UVs of mirrored and repeated parts (I believe you're already doing this). Reduce size in UVs of areas that are… -
Re: QoP Set high poly
Thank you so much for your opinion and information! I appreciate that. Coz is so difficult learn all that stuff on your own. And the idea for the set was like a parasite bug who feed with pain and sorrow's victims until he met QOP and they became the perfect couple! -
