Sketchbook: Fifthredemption
Hello all, Alias is Fifthredemption, (you may ask, what happened to the first Four? I simply don't know :P ) I'm currently in my third year at George Brown College (Toronto) and have 5+ of experience with 3Ds Max, (but I'm still learning! :D ) I haven't touched any organic modelling yet, as my classes haven't gone into… -
Re: UV mapping question
Because clean (or, clean enough) UVs are just as important as clean enough geo. If you believe that the process is is a pain in the ass, then that just means that you haven't yet gotten used to creating your geo while thinking about your UVs all at the same time. If you do, all your seams will be planned and placed as the… -
Re: Digital Sketchbook: jinngonqui
The poly-mirror did not work as expected in-engine, even though in Maya it seemed to. I have adjusted my modularity methodology, to model half of the HP, poly-mirror, and then make the LP based on the combined mirror. Then bake the normals from that. The first test has worked well. I am very pleased with the in-game… -
Re: Lowpoly from kitbashed mesh?
No, it's not a problem if you're making all the pieces yourself with production in mind. But then you're not really kit-bashing in the 'traditional' sense. :) But there's no reason why you couldn't make a production ready kit of unwrapped parts set up for a low/high bake workflow. Almost like a modular kit of parts that… -
UDK Lighting problem with modular roads
So I'm working on a level for my portfolio, and it's a down town area (my hometown) and I decided to go with tileable plains. Now the problem I'm having is that they aren't receiving lighting information correctly as you can see in this pic.… -
Re: (UE4) Palace of the mountain king
Came back determined to finish this. When i started it i didn't have the knowledge on how to efficiently do it,I thought i had to unwrap and bake HP/LP for every individual piece, but now i'm gonna try this with tiling materials and trim sheets. After that comes the environment stuff which i have no idea, but i'll get the… -

Re: Looking for a new computer
If you're only getting 4gb, you need to get 2x2gb sticks for dual channel. I wouldn't suggest less than 8GB though, ram is dirt cheap. So 4x4gb min. I would say. But yeah, Intel 2500 Nvidia 460/560 8 gigs ram 120-ish GB SSD 1TB is HDD Some normal, reasonably priced mATX or standard ATX motherboard, skip SLI crap and… -
Re: Space Marine Miniature
Thanks for the comments guys. aesir: I don't actually remember how many heads tall it is, I started with an old base body and then built on it. I am sure I agonized about it at the time, but yeah, I don't remember. The hands and head are also separately kit bashed so they might be off. Jon Rush: Thanks for the heads up… -
Re: Texture Atlas layout planning questions
Thx Eric, I am not sure about the "whole unit" part: as my bedspread polygon are not even quads, the uv shell will naturally be in different size. Say I align the large shell to the top-left of my texture space, then cut and stack them, I don't think they can be aligned perfectly to "whole unit" nicely (unless I plan the…
