Re: H&K 11
Im not sure if it is one, but if, then the barrel has a weak spot there where it is, and thats probably why its there , it sure dosnt help cool the whole thing, but maybe that place was critical. Well all current FPS have a first person model and a third person model. Third is maybe 3k or something, dunno, and the first… -
Re: Info: going rate for 1,500 tri model+texture
Hmm... here's some more numbers advice. In my corner of the outsourcing world, these are the rates I usually see: Low-end overseas art studio: $140 - 180\day ($17.50 - 22.50\hr) Average overseas art studio: $200\day ($25\hr) High-end overseas art studio: $300\day ($37.50\hr) Low-end domestic art studio: $350\day… -
Re: Small details in games
Keep in mind that a 4096 is the same as 4 2048s, and each 2048 is the same as 4 1024s. So a 4096 is essentially 16 1024s, or 64 512s. So depending on how big the objects are, and the kind of detail necessary, you can cram quite a lot into a 4096. Though I think with current GPUs, using 4 2048 atlases might yet be more… -
Re: Border Fill - modeler's dream come true
Maxscript is really slow when it comes to basic math, see for example the comments here, almost instant result in python, two and a half minutes in maxscript. That said, the major slowdown here (at least for me) were the poly operations on bigger meshes, finding the right values is fast (it's basically five lerps in… -
Re: Chains. When to plane when to model
Very dependant on hardware, as well as placement (is it a centerpiece), and artstyle. In this case, you might want to model, but keep it really lowpoly. You might be able to save a good bunch of polies if you use a 1bit alpha for the center without having it cost too much performance. A pretty small texture (maybe a 128²)… -
Re: Iphone development? 3D Engines?
well currently we developed our own 3d importer we recently talked with our developer and they wanted us to start looking into the unity engine to see if the development time is easier or not. What I do know is that the Iphone support pixel shading so its a bit better then a DS' as far at the texture side goes (no anti… -
Re: muscles with normals?
Looks like that detail overlay you've put on in Photoshop is nuking a lot of the underlying normalmap detail. How are you applying that? If you're generating from the NVidia filter, make sure that you set the layer's blend mode to Overlay, and to Image -> Adjustments -> Levels, change the channel to "Blue" in the drop-down… -
Re: How do I achieve this effect? Dynamic decal paths
That is also an awesome idea. Having a hard lerp between the values means that, even though I need to cover the entire ground plane of the map section (which in some instances will be fairly big), I could get away with a low resolution image for that mask because of the sharp falloff. none of the maps I have planned are… -
HS-10 Model A Semi Automatic Shotgun
I had found one of these at a rare and antique gun store recently, and I really wanted to model it. I was able to get the complete weapon modeled and textured over the course of 6 days straight working a couple of hours every evening. The only game I remember seeing one of these was the first Call of Duty: Black Ops. The… -
How should I make my buildings?
How should I make my buildings in Unity? Separated meshes for the walls, or everything single mesh as possible? My idea is create a simple project, inspired on those F2P FPS that runs on any PC: The thing is, i don't know the best way to make the buildings for the maps, if I separate each side of the room, the occlusion…
