Re: Emissive Map Optimization and Effiency dilemma
It's a bit of a balancing act, most times having less texture memory is better (so a separate smaller file for emissive) but having too many texture calls isn't recommended either. Often times you can make some kind of encoded mask instead, and have one dxt1 for diffuse, and another dxt1 with emissive, spec, and gloss in… -
ideas / designs for painting arcade cabinet
So I figure this is as good a place as any to ask for ideas / suggestions / designs / etc for the arcade cabinet I have. It's the standard size for a cabinet and is currently all black with a lcd flush-mounted on a large black sheet of lexan. The lower front area swings open to reveal the storage space inside.. all misc… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - January and February 2018 (52)
@golani79 Thanks so much! Can do. Modeling; I did the blockout in Maya. I made sure to minimize sharp edges using bevels, and bake away any remaining sharp edges later on. Of course there shouldn't be very many straight or flat parts, kind of like the cartoony reference. I used lattices on things like the garbage can and… -
Re: Yet another ArenaNet Art Test Thread --- Male Character
Ah - something else I wanted to toss out there looking at this again. You might want to try and define a little bit more how his "mask" thing connects to his helmet, if it is in fact connected. Kekai Kotaki (I assume he's the artist for that concept) has a tendency to suggest things rather than outright define them in his… -
Re: Intenar (Image Heavy)
Right, it's clear that you don't want to redo anything fundamental in his anatomy, 'cause it is equal to catastrophe of redoing much work again. So I won't argue with you about it, if you wish so. In spite of that creature is walking on two limbs and needs to have pivots not to fall down and smash his head. You've provided… -
Weekly Substance Challenge - Week 2
Hey everyone. Recently I've been trying to up my game on substance designer, like many of you. After working with someone else proved most helpful, I decided what better way to expand on that than create one of the many loved challenge threads. How it works * Each week I will be posting a new texture for us to make. * You… -
Re: Creature - modelling problems
First: Greetings, this is my first post. I know it seems odd to be offering my opinion or advice in a first post (long time lurker-first time poster here), but I'll soon be asking some of my own questions and hope to get some advice from some of the pros around here aswell, and figured it be best if I started off by… -
Re: UDK material - Sea shore (need help)
yes you could but you'd have to use masks such as vertex colors masks then I guess. My example only used the depth to mask foam. -
Re: Mechanical "Medusa" Project
The mask reminds me a bit of the 17th century plague masks worn by doctors working with bubonic plague victims: The masks also included glass goggles. -
Re: Unreal Engine 3 - MASTER THREAD
are you using alpha masked? i guess so, alpha masked is always one bit, you need to use a translucent material with the mask in the opacity slot
