Re: Looking for critique on my plane
The lighting is a little bit better. It looks like you've removed the wear and damage completely. Going for a new/clean look huh? I think you may have gone the wrong direction with the metalness value on the paint job though. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like you have turned the metal value to 100% with a mid range… -
Re: Looking for easy to use 3d modelling software
- If you have about a month worth of time that you are willing to dedicate to learning the basics of a modeling app, you could go with Modo, SIlo or Blender - however these are just as complex as Maya and Max, so probably not fitting your immediate needs. These would be your last option if else fails. - If sculpting is an… -
Re: Development log - Building a complete car from scans - VR Game dev
I detailed my most recent scan setup in this tutorial- I have made some changes since I posted in the photogrammetry thread. http://www.alecmoody.com/rubble/ I moved away from continuous lighting which has allowed me to ditch the tripod and cable release. Shooting with flash units enables me handhold and it takes about 5… -
Re: General texturing based question
[Graphics programmer answer] Doesn't really matter. I would shoot for everything being separate. Should a metal barrel and lamp share the same texture? Not really, you should be fitting each of those as close to 100% UV as possible. If you want those to both be say 512 size textures and you only see a lamp in a house and… -
Re: Abandoned mental institution WIP (UDK)
Humm... I don't want to dump on your hard work because pieces of this are looking pretty good but I think the pieces aren't meshing together well and they aren't supporting your overall goal of "abandoned". There seems to be a few missed details that would really help this out. The asphalt material looks really new, which… -
Re: retrospective - Steffen Neox Unger - imageheavy
short answer: yes and yes ;) long answer, we had pretty detailled concepts for most of the characters. So what i did with modelling is take approx. the perspective the concept was done in, screengrab it, align it in ps, have a layer with the concept and tried to match them as close as possible without making them look too… -
Re: Dominance War VI
That would be Planetary Challenge. This challenge is not community oriented and it is open to anyone. However, it's my hopes to encourage communities to help organize local events for their artists. For UC and DW, they will remain as is. If an artist enters for Team Art Station or conceptart.org, I am positive that both… -
Re: How do you feel about todays Terror Threat
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] If you think everything that's going on in the Middle East is because "they hate our freedom," or "haves and have-nots," then you're really burying your head in the sand and not paying attention. [/ QUOTE ] If you think I even once attributed "everything" about any international conflict to a single… -
Re: A rant, about using photos in textures.
Rather than snidely disreguard this interesting discussion as futile, I'll try to contribute something meaningful. I realize there are some who weren't around for the first go round or it's successions, and who could benefit from hearing many points of view on this matter. Photosourcing is fine, I do alot of it. I use it… -
Re: another normal map problem :(
You'll end up with two maps one will have good ends the other will have good sides. It's really just a matter of layering them on top of each other in Photoshop then erasing out the bad parts from the top layer. On more organic shapes it can be better to just push the cage outward evenly just enough so that it encompasses…
