funny, I looked into this a couple of months ago by doing what mop suggested. From the side profile, current cars appear to have the A pillar (windscreen) pointing to the front axle, the B pillar (central column in a four-seater) pretty much inline with and on roughly the same angle as the driver's seat. The C pillar is…
this is a fun one. the answer to A_Bs question about the mask borders is yes - applying a more detaild mask is totally possible and not very hard. I did post an example of the maths on here fairly recently The answer to your question depends of what you're trying to achieve in your game. If you need what is basically a 2d…
Hi! Commendations for finishing the character and sharing the result. Similar to what kanga wrote, I think visually there's a lot of room for improvement, particularly with anatomy/ shapes and proportions. In my opinion this is equally (if not more) important as technical execution. With future character modeling efforts,…
Hello! I have a question; I would like to know what people who have been in the industry much longer than I have think about this workflow. I've seen a lot of people on the internet using the following method; they usually create the entire level in 3D modeling software and then import everything as a single mesh into the…
Model_brush.c is the main file where new map and model formats are parsed: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/code-t3d_attempt_engine/ci/master/tree/model_brush.c An example one is void Mod_OBJ_Load on line 7562. Which loads the triangle data for an obj file (loads the vertex and then the face data). It would be…

For me day to day is pretty simple as a texture artist. Usually I start by checking e-mails since we outsource many of the props I want to keep track and see if the quality is up to snuff and comment on each one to go to the next step for example or tell them to tweak something. If something related to my level chunk is…
It definitely helps, I've seen it and it explained a lot - what I still don't understand is, for example, if I wanted to export the maps for the last example he gave out of 3dsmax and have it work correctly in Maya - how would I do that without Handplane?
A fast, cheap but not very quality solution would be to create several brick models and a straight edged wall, then just repeatedly place the brick models on the edge to cover it. For example in Dark Souls it's done that way for example: Screenshot 1 Screenshot 2
What about using projection master with a pattern created in Photoshop and used as an alpha in zbrush. Example - Create the squiggly you made in the example, then copy it over 10 times, and save that out as an alpha. Drop it down in projection master, and use the alpha.
