Re: Sci-Fi Starship Bridge [WIP]
gsokol: Yep you're right. It was a lightmap seam afterall. Thanks for pointing that out. After searching around i haven't found a fix for this issue within UDK, most people have just been hiding the seam so its less visible. My temp fix for now is drawing a pure black soft brush across the edge of the spec map where the… -
Re: Alley Environment Art Test
Lighting seems a bit off in the sense that these buildings look similarily lit from top to bottom. could you add a lightmap on it or something? Maybe you could also change some of the window textures as well, the blinds look pretty similar from the ones I can see. Also post some more camera angles. To recap, it's maybe a… -
Re: Speed model
I recommend Gmax to start out with, and then if you like it, move to 3D Studio max, Gmax is just the free version of 3dsm. Some prefer max, some prefer maya,lightwave, blender, xsi.. there are alot of modeling programs out there, just try some of them out and see which one your most comfortable with. Fixed some anatomy… -
Re: Just Cause 2 lighting model?
Yes I read about that, the pc version does use SSAO as an option but the console version does not have it. I'm not really interested in how they do ao but how they are getting different coloured ambient lighting inside a shadow, ao would just change the value of the shadow colour but I'm seeing actual hue differences which… -
Re: Stone Giant Tech Demo (Image heavy)
A few questions: Do you run into problems using displacement and normal maps on the same meshes? Any weird issues with normal maps conflicting displacement info for lighting? I can't run the demo at the moment, so how does the lighting workis it baked lightmaps everywhere, or is the lighting dynamic? Are there any… -
Re: Garden Corner
The scene looks pretty good Dan,Things i would recommend will be, To improve on the normal maps and polish some more in the diffuse. Show damages in the walls and/or in the floor. Add an AO pass,as some one mentioned. Opt for a better lighting solution or bake the lightmaps to the assets.… -
Re: future of hardware question RE: buying a new comp.
definitly go dual core. windows 64-bit is available now. and linux 64-bit has been available for awhile. quite a few 3d graphics programs are coming out with 64-bit versions. at least lightwave and xsi that I know of. not sure about maya and max. Creative's new lineup of cards are supposed to improve performance overall in… -
Re: Request: Critique my UVW work
Lightray: UVHelp will un-flip any mirrored sections - if you take a closer look at the segments you ran UVHelp on, you'll notice one is flipped vertically. Flip this back and it should match up with the other section nearly exactly. Usually if you're unwrapping a mirrored mesh though, it's faster to do what Psyk0 said,… -
Re: UV texture space resolution
I am trying to find optimal way to place the UVs. Do you think all parts require their unique UV space in this type of model as there are likely no baking? I considered making a quick AO bake using Lightwave to help texturing. If I lay out the UVs in non overlapping manner thats one of the benefits. But would you say that… -
Re: Another modular dungeon tileset
Cheers Eric, I tried 4 rows, but it makes it a bit flat at certain angles. I may put it back in, but keep this as a 'luxury' version. I'll definitely do some individual shots, wireframes, and texture flats when it comes to upping it! I've since added fog, more dust, made the lighting a bit more 'orangey', and fixed the…
