Re: Working on portfolio bust

If anyone has any… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Knight Nasus
Reply by Raiko · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Character ArtI'll be using photoshop and Maya 2015 (student versions I believe) as my tools and I'll also provide links to references I use. I started out doing some early concepts of the proportions and used these two links as references for the body:… -
Re: Downsides of using PNG's for authoring textures?
This, bad handling of 16bits png. Normal map are fine because it has been fixed. I reported the issue too for regular PNG (aka BaseColor) but don't know if it has been fixed recently. Another problem with PNG in UE4 is that by default it will discard pixels where the alpha (transparency) is at 0 (black). This is very… -
Re: Paul Pepera. Gone from us.
That's nice of them to do that. I admire his work, and I often mention him and a few other artists when it comes to hard surface modelers. I want to say I often bring up Paul Papera, Tor Frick, and maybe one more. I wish I had the chance to talk to him. I remember vaguely seeing him in the Polycount Meetup, maybe in 2015,… -
Re: Open-source alternative to Premiere to create turntable animations?
windows movie maker is probably already installed on your system (it's free with windows) and works fine for basic video editing: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker Also both maya and max can compile image sequences into a video file: with maya you use fCheck to do it:… -
Re: 3DS Max save/load animation problem
Try loading the XAF file back on the same model after you've deleted all the keyframes. If that works, it's just a mapping problem. You'll need to click "Edit Mapping" when loading the XAF on your target model. Then follow Step 8 on from this page:… -

Re: Why Modo?
Thanks for the feedback, I have an AMD setup too, so in the future (when I'm done with the projects on Cinema 4D) I'll try the switch to Linux, but I'm still not sure on the distro or the DCC, so I'm making some tests. I was going to try another distro, based on RedHat (Fedora or CentOS) since most of the guides on how to… -
Re: Self-study to professional game artist: What do you know now that you wish you knew then?
I've kept notes since 2015 about what my work habits are and what I always needed to do to improve them. I think the biggest mistake I made was always keeping my project scopes so small. Admittedly, some of this is do to some hardcore nostalgia I have growing up in the PS1/PS2 era, when games were designed to be ultra… -
Re: [Question] Global GI and Area Lights
The massive performance loss would be from the LPVs, which even at it's current state(the video is from 2015) is still hardly usable. I've seen it looking decent in static images with heavily restricted angles, but in an actual game it doesn't work too well. If you're only using it for getting emissive objects to affect…
