Re: UDK - Tristram Tunnels Test
I wanted to start the first breakdown with the prop that I started this whole project with. The floor bricks. No two props were created exactly the same way, but there is a definite flow on how I work the asset through the pipeline. Here is a little visual aid to explain how I went about creating the floor bricks.… -
Good tricks or PS plugins for edge dilation?
Maya seems to have developed a new annoying little quirk so that when I bake a diffuse texture from high to low with surface sampler (Maya 7), it ignores my settings for padding the UVs. Because of this, the mipmaps are showing some nasty seams on my models. Anyone know of a good plugin for CS2 that'll do the trick? I've… -
Height Based Brush in Painter?
Hi all! So I was trying to paint dirt on and around rocks and tiles for a flooring project. The target engine this is going into lacks good vertex painting blend support, so I'm resorting to larger texture sheets to have it painted into a larger diffuse instead. Trick is I wanted to utilize height maps for where the… -
Fast and Stylized 3D Techs / Tricks ?
I'm looking for anything (mainly unusual techniques, tricks, art directions) that could make it easier to make a large number of models quickly, without them looking entirely terrible. Realism or high detail is definitely not a priority for me, so I would much rather focus on a strong stylized look. This is for a personal… -
Re: Term 1 - Development Projects Progress
You absolutely have a point here, but as you know, I can't really do anything about it. And today my professor told me the same thing about the bricks in the corners and the bottom. I will try a few things I have in mind. But if those don't work, I guess I have to stick with this. The good thing is that most of the bottom… -

Re: RadCity: UE5 mid-poly assets
@jstins nice! I think a lot depends on game's viewpoint, since mine is top-down there is so much you can get away with and a lot that just doesn't matter at all. For all the hard surface stuff I did the end result is pretty much identical to what I'd achieve with baking, except silhouettes hold up better with all the… -
