Re: Simple, artist friendly version control?
@Eric Chadwick can you elaborate what you meant here : "making sure your backups are redundant" Do you mean that I should have two separate back up locations? or like, sort of like rotating stock? in that before you overwrite backup A you save a backup B first? -
Re: Question about texel resolution/density - small/bigger objects
Wow, that's new for me... I found some of these checkers on google, i'll try it out! Alright! I'll grow some balls and eyeball this shit. Maybe even export the viewer with some camera constraints, if it turns out too ugly hehe Thanks a lot, Eric! Big fan of your arduous work on Polycount. =) -
Re: NDO doesn't start, DDO shows no material
@Eric after 2 days updating windows, clean install of photoshop and quixel in their default paths, all is working like a charm, hope it will continue... thanks for your attention and keep the good job ! @dimwalker - even if it's an unpleasant task, it works for me, it doesn't mean that you have no choice, but it's a… -
Re: Suggested Programs for 3D Modeling
Photoshop is a texturing tool, you can use it to texture your models but you will need an app to model them first. If you are a student you can get the autodesk products very cheaply and possibly free. just check out their student site. Eric: i pruned ricks comment, its was utterly pointless. -
Re: Hourences - Unreal Solus Project
Thanks Eric. my bad ;) So basically I'm getting the sense that Hourences' process isn't common, and that game design is generally highly split into smaller areas of expertise. It seems to me that it would be better for the game if the process was more collaborative at least between artists and level designers. A bit of… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Having trouble with DDO and ColorID maps
color id map assignment is in fact broken in some ways due to a bug that was confirmed by eric and teddy way back in november. I`m not sure if it applies here but in my case it forced me to move to substance designer since my assigned colors got reshuffled constantly. still waiting for a fix btw... -
Re: omg! there is a cyborg in the vault!!
cheers Eric! I have to say that I took the proportions (also of the head) from the niko bellic model of gta4. That makes it easier if you want to use the hats ingame also here the "real niko" .. also a big face compared to the rest of the head (esp. without the hair the face looks bit oversized) -
Re: Multi Texture using a Blend Mask that is paintable in engine
I did a bunch of this a year or so. Same recommendation as Ryan. Plus, if you're using a Terrain, that offers up to 4 per-pixel blend masks. Shaders have to be edited to specifically support Unity Terrain though. My setup is outlined here FWIW http://polycount.com/discussion/160691/sketchbook-eric-chadwick -
Re: Displacement map creation in Photoshop
Thanks for the replies. Eric Chadwick - Yep I've tried nDo was struggling to get it to look right - I will give it another go though. Ruz - haha yep I'm starting to see that. CptSwing - What is the best way to do it by hand? Do you mean I should hand paint it? Or manipulate the diffuse map? -
Re: Efficient way to level up in Polycount?
@Eric Chadwick From what I understand the way this works seems to promote spam. Why not level up according to level of appreciate i.e. insightful=25exp awesome=50exp etc.. I think this mechanic has a lot of potential. From what I'm reading it seems like it hasn't been explored unfortunately.
