I'm participating in the Retrogasm contest and I've decide to do a "remastered" version of Duke Nukem. I thought this contest might be a good oportunity to make a character (I'm more of a hard-surface guy) and try to improve my organic modeling/texturing skills. I don't have much time to work on it but since the deadline…
Just wondering if we have any Dragonlance fans here? I'm just about to finish up the final book of the War of Souls and have enjoyed the series very much. I've only read the books written by Weiss and Hickman but some of the others seem like they may be worth a shot. I have to say that Chronicles is by far the best…
Hopefully that pretty much says it all. This Monday and Tuesday night I was down in London with some friends, seeing Dream Theater play. It's their 20th anniversary tour, they played songs from their entire back catalogue (including Majesty! ) right up to Octavarium. Mind-blowingly good stuff, they were all on top form.…
Quick Update I was finally able to spend 2 hours on this project yesterday. I took care of some pesky issues such as: - Got rid of the ugly normal map seams - Created a better visualization environment and lighting - Added SSS - Made it so dark colors couldn't be applied to primary color areas (before, cats could be black…
Hello again! I find myself with some rare free time before I jet off for a week on the 15th October, in that time I am hoping to help you with some animation work you may need doing while also opening up a line of communication for a potential long term working relationship. Please get in touch via PM here or you can find…
Update 2 - Pick Three Projects to finish for the Summer Holidays (1st August - 30th September 2019) Hello viewers, I have a mood board of all the summer projects I have done this summer. However, I am spoilt for choice on which three projects I should progress on the games pipeline for practicing my texturing. They're all…
Hi Jan_u, I agree that you can either bring a lot more uniqueness to the texture or go the other route and make it extremely optimized. Here is a quick example of taking your texture and fitting in all the important details into a 256 texture with room to spare. I made sure not to shrink down any of the details so this…
Cuppster, Still haven't had a chance to ask. I know little of the material editor and asking would probably make everything go over my head. But I WILL try to ask sooner or later. As far as the lag. I don't know the exact answer. I don't think it's really one thing, but the biggest culprit is CPU spikes, if I'm not…
can you specific please the term "take down SS symbols"? , you can't have a Tank from armored divisions without the proper insignias and divisional markings, why I'm saying this? because a fellow skinmaker saw his work banned for using helmet crests in his vehicle, so please be advice , the way that historical painted…
Congratulations! I just became a father myself. My son, Dolan, was born on July 12th (6 pounds, 13.5 oz). You're going to have a lot of fun picking out clothes and toys for him. Make sure you spend as much time with him as you can, you can't get it back once it's past. I make sure I hold him at least once per day. It's the…
