Re: BRAWL2 [Character] Electric Monk, kanga
Hi Eric! Thanx for the comments. I liked the hood better because I thought it went more with the character. I think you are right about the curves adding relief to the form and I want to rig and animate this character so something curving and flowing in that scene sounds top :) . sacboi! Thanx for your compliments on the… -
Re: OldTitle
Really solid modelling there, very nice detailing. Some crits. Texture-wise it's too flat and dull. You should push the depth more, perhaps with some subtle gradiations, maybe adjust the values of things to make the focal areas pop more. The hip/torso area got some noise right now with all the gear details. Might also be… -
Re: This is a tricky one - decals and displacement
Haven't used or done anything like this myself yet :sweat_smile: .. but as i just now re-searched (a little) some snow shader setups where the actual player seems "to paint" on some "track" map.. couldn't the tire track "simple" be added to this already ? Or the problem might be somehow more complex as i understood this… -
Re: Physicaly based viewport shader for max?
Not exactly right! They absolutely need specularity, since it's part of the BRDF equations which drive these shaders! It's the core of a "microfacet". Specular map is 100% must. RGB Specular map controls the f0 of the Fresnel term which controls the reflection intensity/Fresnel and color. The gloss map simply controls the… -
Re: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - Gilneas Scene!
Lovely stuff man, really great. Best of luck with your Internship application! I've got a question and a suggestion... Firstly, this may sound really odd, and I'm not suggesting you redo all the presentation shots since they already look great, but have you tried setting up the scene in Max using Xoliuls DX shader? I know… -
Re: lightmapping problemes
Probably some of the problems are caused because the large room has 2 smallish windows and a balcony facing away from the sun. First thing I'd do regardless is crank up the sky light intensity and the 'sun' light intensity. The sun should be a bit brighter; consider most programs vaguely calibrate light so that a… -
Re: light map help
Brighten street lamps so that they retain local value but do not pop from the rest of the scene, or leave them be if it's intentional. It's true that lighting subtleties are best visible on mid-range, low-contrast textures (in fact, they look gorgeous on untextured phongs) but that does not mean there are no dark surfaces… -
What do you guys call the little light glow around a light bulb in a game?
I refer to these glows around lights as halos. Usually done with a forward facing quad set to additive in front of the street light model or whatever. Just wondering if there is a more common name everyone is using. -
Forest Lake Cabin Environment WIP
Hey everyone, I'm about to get started on my next portfolio piece. Following some advice from a few companies I've been in touch with through LinkedIn, one thing my portfolio lacks massively is any kind of organic/natural environment; trees/water/grass etc. So I've decided to attempt an environment which includes all of… -
Re: Importance of monitor calibration in a video-game production.
Your boss sounds clueless :\ Hopefully he isn't leading a large team or I'd start to worry. If it's a small team, buy one calibrator and pass it around. You only need to run it on a monitor once every six months or so, or with some driver/hardware changes that might knock your colour profiles out. A monitor…
