Re: Confidence behind the craft of hand painting.
Hi AngryMindtricks As Earthquake says it's down to practice. I have been doing the hand painted style for a year now and am still not achieving the results I'd like. Although I'm a lot better than when I first started! I wrote a tutorial for this a while back although mostly for hard surface (with links to other tutorials… -
Re: First UDK environment (help me improve this)
@Sharvo -- Thanks :) The water was sort of a combination of techniques from Ryan Smith's advanced mesh paint tutorial from 3dmotive.com and the water material tutorial from hourences.com. Neither one had exactly what I wanted, so I took bits from both and got pretty much what I was looking for. There's definitely room for… -
Re: Lots of robots - CG Movie
yeah, what he's doing is really cool. The idea is that he'll put together a full length film but release it in installments as they're completed. He sells the dvd's with tutorials on how he made the scenes to keep the funding rolling in. I've got the 2 he's put out so far and I highly recommend the first dvd for it's… -

Re: Outdoor Environmental Lighting...
for outdoor lighting, usually just a blueish ambient (or gray if it's a cloudy day) plus a bright white directional for the sun (weak if it's cloudy) is all you need, especially if you are using ambient occlusion. Setting the sun light at a lower angle and making the color more orange adds atmosphere. there's a great… -
Re: [WIP] Mythwoven - Final Year Game Demo @ UH
Hi!! My first thought when looking at your dirt material is that your normals are probably too strong between the brush stroke layers, and the pebbles you've go look a bit too blurry/undefined. I think it would be a good idea to study the way realistic dirt textures are created, to better understand the fundamentals of the… -
nightshard's improvement / critique thread
Hello all. Been lurking for a little while and wasn't really sure what to post or say, but I've decided I want to try to get better at 3D stuff and I hope I can get some advice. Felt especially inspired by the new Spyro game recently, haha. I'm mostly self-taught, aside from the initial push of my former supervisor and the… -
