Re: How do I achieve this effect? Dynamic decal paths
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… -
Re: WIP (Original Character
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,… -
Re: 3D Modeling for a year, want critique and advice.
The last example (most right) from PyrZern is what you have, and what you want to avoid, because it collapses the model's volume. As the picture says, you want to at least have two loops in and out like the middle example. -
Re: Site styling
Something I was wondering: What is/was the reason to use this forum software instead of e.g. Discourse? Is it about pricing or more that features are missing? Btw. something I noticed which is a detail bit annoying (and interstingly the Discord Forums suffer from the same problem): When re-placing the cursor via shortcut… -
Re: Amir's Portfolio environments
That's depend on how you setup the cavity map setting generator. I think honestly that you need to generate a base cavity map and then correct some levels/details inside photoshop. Example 1 - Example 2 -

Re: AKM hard surface practice
Overall, it's a nice improvement, but some parts still need fixing. Here are the main areas that I've noticed and think could use some further improvement. 1. The extrusion looks really weird - it should be much shorter. Example : http://www.rusmilitary.com/images/akm_3pcs.jpg 2. The stock too looks strange, almost as if… -
Re: Personal Project for my Portfolio
Hey JG, is there a reason the wooden wall panels have gaps at the bottom? Seems a little strange and makes it very obvious you have tiled it across. One thing to be careful of is keeping a sense of scale, for example your keyboard and computer screen look a little small (could be the camera angle). How do you go about… -
Re: Fez 2 cancelled, Dev leaves game industry
That PA article really set me off a bit, rant incoming: A lot of this is coming from people having personal social media account publicly accessible, mostly twitter. They share personal info and often every stupid little detail on there, as well as apparently read every single thing that comes back to them. PA starts of… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
Good work on the site. Easy to navigate and find everything. Even the light-box thumbnails didn't bother me that much. You could probably just post the reel video at the top of your gallery page instead of having two separate pages. Also, IMO for props and environment work I'd rather see a gallery of nice big stills than a…
