Re: Xbox One
Current gen games are already exceeding 20GB. This aside, it is always safe to assume that before the end of a console generation, games will be exceeding the capacity of the storage medium presented - this is the same for game cartidges as it is for disks, and has been a factor in almost every console in the past 20 odd… -
Re: Photogrammetry - Texture baking - was I doing it all WRONG :-)?
Zbrush uses "uv matching" method while Marmoset, Substance Painter, Xnormal, and other bakers uses ray tracing. This means that the smoothing of the lowpoly is taken into account when you bake using ray tracing, while the uv matching method ignores the target mesh smoothing and therefore its shading. This can result in… -

Re: Lighting Portfolio Feedback
To add to the already mentioned critiques, looking at the Sun Temple work, I think there's some inconsistency in the light directions and colors. The day time lighting should be brighter and there should be more direct sunlight hitting the foreground statue on the right (depending on sun direction). I say this because the… -
Re: The Paying To Work For Free VFX Business Model

When I saw that I recalled immediately this… -

Re: Occupy Wall St
There is no point in taxing corporations simply because they will just pass the extra cost on to the consumers. Corporations may pay taxes (sometimes), but they get that tax money from us, the consumers. Raise their taxes and they'll just raise their prices or lower wages for employees. Corporations are externalizing… -
Tut: Baking AO Maps Using a Normal Map
The following procedure covers creating an Ambient Occlusion or "shadow map" using a normal map and low poly mesh in 3ds max 8. This may be old news for some of you, but it is a technique I learned recently so I thought that I would share. Some may ask "why not just use your high poly mesh and a projection modifier to… -
Re: Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition!

Re: Portfolio Review- Prop Artist
Environment art is probably somewhat more in demand but doesn't mean it's easier. Character art is one of the most difficult roles to get into, highly competitive and requires a wide array of knowledge, especially anatomy. Based on your current portfolio, I don't think character artist is a viable path. But at the end of…
