Re: Playstation Vita
no, you're not the only one. it's a classic case of launch hype and you can be sure to see shortcomings. NGP will be memory-, storage- and bandwidth-limited like everything else. not to mention battery-life. i wouldn't be surprised to see the OLED and one of the touch surfaces gone missing on the retail product, for a… -
Re: Occupy Wall St
More than half of the games I've ever worked on haven't seen the light of day. I've been working in the games industry for 8+ years. Profit-sharing based economics would not be a win-win situation for the majority of projects in the game industry, as many fail or struggle to make back the initial investment. Sure, this… -
Re: normal mapping a head: help needed
You're making perfect sense and thanks. The zbrush practical guide was the one I was refering to in my initial post but perhaps I wasn't clear about it. I get to the step where it plain and simple says go to Tools > Normal Map and press create normal map - then nothing happens. That's why I wondered whether I'd done… -
Re: Seeking Character Artist
Thanks all for the portfolios. *UPDATE* Well, weve been told to hold off for a while in looking, since our project still isn't technically fully green lit, so they're holding off a bit longer than they'd initially thought on staffing up the team. If all goes to plan we'll be looking again proper early next year. Sorry to… -
Re: rendering question in maya
> say i wanna prepare my models to be rendered in Unity, what do i use, and can anyone point me to the correct tutorials for this purpose.? Unity is it's own application/engine. To render a realtime model in Unity, you will have to export your game-ready mesh out of Maya, and import it into Unity. You will also have to… -
Re: Oculante - Image viewer with rgba channels
Hi, Oculante author here! Thank you for the kind words. The viewer was indeed initially made for 3d/texture related work as I was missing proper alpha support and the ability to use it on Mac/Windows/Linux. If you have any ideas for features feel free to ping me here or write an issue request. Cheers! -
Re: [WIP] Gates of Angband
A few more updates: More scale adjustments to the scene. The background mountains/Thangorodrim are stupid huge at this point, but I'll probably keep them out of frame to give a better feel of being mysteriously gargantuan. Some initial texture passes on the walls and metal pieces. Further blockout adjustments of the towers… -
Re: Substance Bitmap2Material 3 vs Substance 3D Sampler
Image-to-depth programs are generally only good for quick and dirty materials, which have their place. Substance Sampler(Alchemist) is a cut above the rest, and can give you initial outputs that can be refined into something workable, but for a top tier texture scan you are gonna want to do a lot of work after the initial… -
Re: Toolbag 2 is on Steam! | Marmoset Toolbag 2 | News & Announcements
Yes, on initial import you need to set up your material. Once you've set it up, as long as you don't change the material name in your 3D app, it will automatically re-apply on auto re-load. With MatID support in 2.07, materials are automatically created and applied to the correct bits, and now with auto re-load in 2.08,… -
