Re: The state of the games industry
I agree that style will become more important as realism becomes standard issue, the same way that photography jump started the modern art movement. I totally disagree with this idea thats being thrown around that games are about mechanics and movies are about stories. thats total BS. Nothing is that black and white and… -
Re: Minienvs and studies sketchbook
Some concrete ! I'm still wrapping my head around lots of things , from calibrations of exports from substance to unity ( what's linear or srgb , if unity "albedo" is substance's base color or diffuse , and whether to use metallic even if i feel more in control with spec/gloss workflow..) The concrete is a lot simpler than… -
Re: Bake HDR information in one RGB image
Any compression would do, even a capped linear compression. But the issue with it is, that you compress a very large range into 8 bits. The resolurion is really bad. Where is the disadvantage when using an additional channel for eg RGBM, or even half-float format for hdr ? You compression works only to reduce the demand on… -
Re: Anatomy Critique Needed
Since not much actual feedback has been given, heres my opinion: 1) Arms are too short 2) Torso is too wide 3) Neck is too long 4) Legs are too short 5) Dat ass is too big 6) I would highly recommend putting some sort of thigh gap in there simply for the sake of easier sculpting. 6) 7) Palm to finger ratio is also wrong in… -
Re: World Of Warcraft FANART: Undead Starting Zone [image heavy!]
@Bolovorix yeah! nice to see it come together. I need a lot more things to make the scene more interesting though (plants, rocks, etc). but this was a good test. I think I will also improve a couple textures (like the needles on the pine trees) later on, but it's fine for now. @lotet really good idea! It makes sense to do… -
Re: maxscript idea - extrude surface expand
Hi! Yes, as far as I am concerned it's perfect as is! It allows for some very efficient 'shelling' of objects, REALLY quickly! Now if there ever was another function to add ... that would be a way to somehow load a spline path as a way to define the successive extensions, with overall length and angle user-defined just the… -
Re: Best way to drag a shape over an object's surface in Maya
@ justo sorry I should have been more explicit: a deformer with a baseShape is not the same thing as a deformer with just a shape ( although u can sometimes get luck with similar effects on some ) deformers that use base shapes have two shapes and use the distance between the shapes to calculate deformation. But when we… -
Re: Prop Workflow
First, I don't think hi-to-lo baking is "standard" for characters. It is what most tutorials show, but there is plenty of working artist here who don't use that as their go-to workflow. To me, the main benefit of working hi-to-lo is for concepting. If you aren't crystal clear on the final design, it's good to just keep… -
Re: [WIP] UDK Modular Environment
So, according to the crits that were given, I've boosted the wall heights (from 128 to 160) and lowered the railings (from 64 to 52-ish). For the railings unforunately, I've decided to not slant them to make the construction easier for corners. (lazy!) I then proceeded to unwrap all my pieces and bake the high res meshes… -
Re: FFVII Remake Thread
as long as they keep the humor of the original I am okay with episodic release, besides you can actually cut up the original game/world map into chunks as the areas whilst appearing large were actually fairly linear with choke points until the airship/submarine came around towards the end of it. I actually hope the…
