How to simulate old graphics?
Hey! Do you guys know what makes old graphics, old? Take a look at broodwar for example They are sprites made from 3d objects, but they have a unique look, maybe its the color limitation, maybe old render engines, what is it? Some more examples: -
Re: How can I make powerlines?
I would suggest NOT using an alpha blended surface for these. The texture is going to be filtered with distance, and the lower MIPS will be very blurry. It's generally better to just use pure opaque geometry. Include enough cross-sections to reduce long thin triangles, which can cause performance issues with some GPUs.… -
Re: Getting a particle to stop
Not that hard, if I understand you correctly. Here's a super-simple example, max 8 format. Uses a UDynaFlect deflector, which lets you choose arbitrary geometry. Replace the particle system and you're good to go. http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/files/particles_filling_a_box.zip -
Re: Unreal shader resources?
I don't think that's an especially good example, i was just messing before going to bed ^^ You shouldn't look too much for complex examples and super large and impressive shading networks, some very basic effects can easily simulate a large range of materials :) -
Re: Painter - height / normal UV discrepancy
Update: By trial and error I have found precise formula for Height Adjust filter Multiply slider: square root of the multiplier between two Texel Densities For example suppose we have Td = 4 and Td = 15, thus 15 / 4 = 3.75 and now the square root of 3.75 = 1.936 so to obtain equal height magnitude between two Td = 4 and Td… -
HAIR!?
i saw some good hair examples from some of the entries in comicon challenge 2010, and the varga tut is a widely referenced method, but I think this topic needs exploring further by artist & engineers, or perhaps I just need more practice:) and another texture example I made with finer hairs -
Re: Zbrush character to animation general question
Make the meshes contiguous, as much as possible, this will reduce headaches later when binding the vertices to the bones (skinning). For example, take a look at how the shirt transitions to the pants, or the pants to the shoes. Street Cop by Mashru Mishu. More examples here http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/BodyTopology -
Re: Low poly base mesh, what are you priorities?
Put her image behind your model, and adjust proprtions until they match. Your hands are pretty small for example. Take a close look at the groin in the Hippydrome examples, and compare with yours. A rectinlinear grid like yours is bad topo for deformation, and also bad for sculpting. -
(Fulfilled) Need help fixing new model for testing
Hello! Ive been looking for help with a project of mine. I am working on a mod for a Unity-run mobile game called Dragon Quest VIII. one part of my project is including adding a new model to the game acting as an armor set for the main character to display when wearing a specific Armor Set. for the purpose of this, I wish… -
Need Low Poly Greybox Structures
I want to commission some low poly greybox ancient and futuristic structures for a personal game project. I would like to know how much it would cost for a small structure, medium structure, and large structure. Small structures could be a small ruins or tower or bunker, medium could be a more complex ruins or a base with…
