Re: Overlapping UV's Question/Explanation Please
Mirroring and overlapping are very important techniques for game models. Whether they stay overlapped or not, depends on a couple things... 1. if you're baking a normal map from high-res mesh, then overlaps are bad (move them 1 unit outside the UV square instead) 2. If you're using lightmaps, be careful with overlaps, as… -
Re: Does creativity exist for the 3d artist?
Oh hell yah - for me anyway. I'm like Vig, I've been spoiled. I came to Threewave as the 8th employee and we now have ~45 people here (60 total) spread out to 1 of 3 different FPS shooter (each 1 of the major engines) projects, so the teams are insanely small. The small team definitely adds to the creative freedom. It… -
Re: The time of the indie / start ups is here?

You gotta take… -
Re: Gina (critique welcome)
The new approach to the hair cards looks much better! As for polycount, 1/4 of the character is not unheard of in the current AAA climate.

The message I had posted above was supposed to showcase a sort of rough study, I… -
Re: Stacking Double RGB Vertex color Info into 1 Vertex Painting potential solution.
Unless I am missing something as well, don't think you are missing anything. Don't even need to get the component mask for R in your one> You are component masking a float but it's already a masked float straight from the vert color node, so that shouldn't do anything. The other graph basically ends up multiplying the vert… -
Re: Multiple Props, 1 UV Set
to do the above, in painter you'll have to make a mask to stop the second props texture from smearing itself all over the whole UV space with it's streaky padding. import both models as 1 fbx and 1 texture set. import textures as well (maybe export both sets as 16bit initially to perhaps not be double compressing them to… -

Conor Sullivan's Second Year Thread
So this is a thread for the current briefs I've started working on. One of these is the rec room from the 2009 film, Moon.
