Here's a great overview by Hourences on the subject: http://www.hourences.com/tutorials-ue3-texture-optimization/ About halfway down the page he shows filesize of 3 textures with alphas vs 4 textures (the 3 alphas packed into RGB of the 4th image). 1 RGBA appears to take 1366kb, while 1 RGB takes 683kb, so 3x1366 = 4098kb…
I actually often just lasso mask and pull out (Move brush with ALT). Or using transpose move, holding alt, and dragging the last dot, if the surface should be curved. You can eventually sharpen the mask first, if you want a sharper line. Then hammer it wth the TrimSmoothBorder. Does that help in any way? Can we see an…

How about I create a emoticon using a character from a manga or sth like that? A mangaka can't claim that it's their character since it's not totally looking the same, is it right? If I'm using a emoticon package from the internet and I modify a bit by myself, such as changing the color, adding some details and claim those…
Hey Adam, glad to see the 5th release! I'm still on the second one, and you've been really insightful so far. I've seen a fair load of poor gumroad tutorials (from talented artists). But yours deliver precise and useful information. It reminded me a bit of the "Becoming a better artist" workshop on cgsociety in the…

For those who are wondering wth is going on? I know this thread is all over the place…
Yeah I know what you mean about the bounce light, been trying to get some light to bounce around the whole environment by cranking up the diffuseboost settings but it just makes the area around the throne look horribly bright and doesnt do much to the rest of the environment, its like I want to put more power into the…
Well, it could of been a lot worse if it wasn't in Japan. Look at Hatti, its widely thought that if they had even a 5th of Japans building codes and construction methods more people would be alive today. I'm sure Japan will be back up on its feet and teaching us all amazing things about how to minimize earthquake damage.…

No, thats not what that says. What that says is the rev split is variable from game to game, not the rev split is variable between artists contributing to the same game. Very very different things. So unless valve says otherwise, i would say yes it is in fact a 1/7th rev split and I think it deserves their attention, and…
