Render to Texture and UnrealEd
Sorry about asking such a vauge question. I'm having trouble with the Render to Texture stuff. I don't know if its my ignorance on the subject or if I'm doing something wrong, but it's not coming out right. I'm mostly interested in the LightMap so I can import the mesh into UnrealEd (Realtime2/UT2k3...hopefully 2k4 soon… -
Re: Need Help With UV's & Texture Resolution
If you want to increase the strength of the normal map, a quick way is open it in Photoshop, duplicate the layer, and set the duped layer to overlay. It will double the strength. Do not go too crazy or it will look jacked up. Edge padding is for mip mapping, or more specifically to fix the issues caused from mip maps. When… -
Re: [Character] Dungeon Hunter PSN art dump - image heavy
Wow thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the nice comments! :) It was my favorite gameloft project for sure. It was a ton of fun to work on! Something about painting on a 512 texture just feels right :P I should probably also clarify that only a few of the characters had super strict deadlines, I think most took around… -
Re: Ram issues in Designer
So I took a look at your substance. From my perspective it seems that your are a bit confused by the resolution system of Designer. It seems you want to output textures at 4K, but Designer works in your ram to be efficient. When I opened you graph my computer consumed a total amount of 15gb of ram. This can result is some… -
Re: [Portfolio] Ian Mathews - Environment / Prop Artist
WORK The oil bugs me. It's not an easy material to simulate, but the specular map you currently use is waaay off. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmTTk5TO-HE[/ame] I'm curious as to how to do the heightmap/displacement map in UDK - can I see (part of) the material nodes? The work you have is nice, especially the… -
Re: Brushys Blog
Blog Entry #1 - Grass Objects For the past two weeks i've been working on vegetation. A slow process considering i'm overhauling everything!

Re: SIG P226 DAX (highpoly)
First off, thanks for the replys guys. It means alot to me when I get feedback, compliment or "constructive crit". :P Just to let everyone know, this model is meant to be used for normal mapping. I left out the firing pin inside the action simply because adding the detail to a part of the gun you'll almost never see is a… -
Re: 3D for games.

Re: Act of War RTS and the comical price of fuel
[ QUOTE ] I'd like to know why American fuel is so much cheaper than British fuel? [/ QUOTE ] Two reasons spring to mind. First, America buys in volume. I mean, *really* buys in volume. I don't know what percentage of the world's oil is consumed by America, but I expect it's between a third and a half. When you buy in… -
[wip] Pick head Axe - Low poly modeling and Normal Maps
Ok, so I'm new at taking the idea modeling to low poly in regard for use in a game engine. I'm starting out simple. I've done some research on mapping and such as I've really only focused on the modeling aspect itself in high poly. Right now I'm working on a Pick head Axe in 3Ds Max. From what I understood from various…
