Re: Could anyone explain how to script an emissive shader to flicker?
Hi! Simple question: do you absolutely have to do it via script? If, indeed, you are just "copy-pasting so you can focus on other things", why not try creating a simple animation for the flicker? Lots of random values with linear interpolation between each. Anyway, if you're trying to learn how to actually do it by script,… -
Re: [PBR] Problem
Normal maps should never be in sRGB(gamma) space, they should always be in linear space. By default normal maps load with sRGB off, however if you accidentally load your normal map into your albedo slot, that texture will get flagged as sRGB on. Your latest issues look like a problem with triangulation. Generally, it is… -
Re: Animating frame by frame in Maya.
As far as I know most modern game animation systems dont want frames, they use keys and bezier curves just like animation authoring systems. If you were to bake an animation into frames and import it into a modern game engine that does more than a linear interpolation it would be quite wasteful. In the past it was more… -
Re: My game asset creation learnings
Post processing is very versatile, but only available in Unity Pro I think. http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/comp-ImageEffects.html Light baking will do some ambient occlusion. Another way to add it to your meshes is to bake AO into the vertex color. This is supported by free and pro versions, but may… -
Re: Ori and the Blind Forest Artdump
@nickzucc it is all 2d planes arranged in 3d space, even the characters are all spritesheets. so ingame nothing is 3d at all. small fun fact about the 3d characters, and my saying about 2d is king. Here is the mesh of Gumo, with a modelled in Mouth that never was used ingame, i just found out about this a few days back, i… -
Re: Environment artists, your days are numbered.
Hmm, I've never been too hot for the idea of procedurally generated environments/levels (that are not meant to be adjusted manually). I would rather have an area carefully crafted by a fellow human being than a cold, calculating machine. Might be me, but the idea of a world that can change every time you play it just… -
Re: Stylized textures practice
Yes, sorry i guess that was a bit vague I gave Jamin pretty much the same feedback. Clouds looks bland but more importantly it leaves a massive pattern over your entire texture so if you absolutely must use it as a base then you should go back once you've laid out your shapes and paint the pattern out. As a base texture it… -
Re: Crit my failed art test
Your metal doesn't look much like metal. This isn't only due to the specular but also to the saturated yellow on your gold for example. To make it credible, you could subtly paint browns and greens in it. And overall that's the main pb in your texture : the colors lack of style. Take a look at the witcher 2's stuff, how… -
Re: New to 3D modeling
You should start with 3dsMax or Maya for modelling and put UDK on the back burner for a bit until you get basics down. Check out 3DMotive.com and Eat3D.com to help you get started with modelling. That aside, UDK's "material editor" is a node based editor that allows you to create shaders without having to write them in… -
Re: Form and Space (Non game art)
Yeah it is more straight forward than it sounds. Basically there are different catagories that get averages together. How well does it represent your organizing principle (linear, radial etc.) Quality of craftsmanship (do the intersections line up? is there glue everywhere?) Visual Resolution (Does it look like everything…
