Re: Kartoon Soldier
bawwww I know, its rendered in xNormal though. The only way to fix these is to add geometry and bake again. But to be honest, he is not even going to be seen this close, so for the sake of finishing I will hope that a good diffuse can save it. Also, there is a bit anisotropy going on in the belt buckle, little bumps going… -
Re: Polycount Banners, showcasing your artwork. Make suggestions here!
Fantastic idea. +1 Animator mentality here... What are the chances of getting animated gifs working in the banner? Though we don't have many animations showing up, there have been a couple of great ones recently. Seeing the head of an ugly minotaur pop up, spitting, would be fantastically awesome. Or running across the… -
Re: Im a 3d artist that wants to be a 2d artist and need advice!
hey Immanuel, I would suggest looking through all the level up for techniques or info muzz has mentionned, and as far career advice, just start building a portfolio right now and get some crits, either from here or the level up hangout as that is what will make you progress the fatest. Just going for it and start working… -
Re: Best way to clone stamp out normal map seams with partially rotated uv's.
For a situation like your example, you can simply swap the red and green channels where you clone stamp them, as your UV edges are rotated exactly 90 degrees. Although you'll need to be careful about how you blend it back down. For anything at an angle you're going to have a much tougher time. It can't easily be done… -
Re: Maya CGFX Shader: KoddeShader v2.0!
Did anyone ever get everything right the first time around? Anyways, I found that the "Normal Multiplier" attribute did not work with the "Use DXT5nm style Normal Texture" in the rev1 version. I fixed it and updated to rev2 in the main post. EDIT: Rev3 is up! Changes in rev3 -The "Reflection Mip Level Min" and "Reflection… -
Re: [Unity] Elvenholme Environment
I've added some breakdown images and a flythrough to the top post. Regarding pipeline, it was modeled in Blender. Being art for a top down camera, getting the 'bigger brush strokes' was more important as any form of micro detail would clutter and make it noisy so I found myself pulling it back at times. The stag, rocks and… -
Re: SAS character
Im Guessing this is very highpoly that came out of zbrush. In fact, Most of it looks that way, snag a modeling program like max or maya. It also looks like the boots are connected to the body as a whole try to build them in a modeling program. Your overall shape looks blobby like its been sub devided a bunch of times and… -
Re: Dark Angels Marine Squad
Nothing quite like updating with small changes frequently. Changes: zBrushed a plane and made bullet holes which were then projected onto the model. Made a Work-in-Progress detail normal map. Scrapped the old paintjob and made an faster process. Made some details for the right shoulderpad. Diffuse isn't as far along as the… -
Re: Planet creation in EVE Online
If I remember well I used a sphere with the proper uv layout centered at the origin. Then I created a bunch of quads with their uv unwrapped on the 'city light' texture coordinates, with their pivot at the origins, but lying above the sphere surface. This way you only need the rotate tool to move them around. The artists… -
Re: Psychonauts Postmortem
That was a really great article (read it in the mag today). Though I have checked out the texterity thing before, and I thought it was pretty cool... a nice repro of the mag, zoomable, readable. Anyhow, man, all the crap they had to go through to make this game... crappy digs, dead crack fiends, rats, sewage influx,…
