Re: Tileable pattern generator - 3ds Max
Oke, I tried changing it to 256/512/1024 and the sizes of the boxes to 16/32/64. It works for all the patterns except the 3:1 herringbone ones. Since the length is 3 times the width, they are 48 by 16. If you divide 256 or 512 or 1024 by 48 it'll give a result with .333 or .666 which will make it impossible to make it… -
Re: WIP: Models for reel
With this first model I was mostly concerned with with my ability to shade things properly. I might bring this down to 256 x 256 but decided to leave this like it is and make it a unique texture. I'm still working on the texture. I have yet to add any overlays or anything of that nature just working the shading mostly. The… -
What to do? DS enviornments
Hi I have a few questions about modeling. Currently I'm doing some environment props and targeting a developer that makes Nintendo DS games. I have searched through some of the threads that have information on the DS specs. From these threads I decided to keep my props under 256 tris probably around 64 or less, of course… -
Re: How hard would it be to recreate these visual effects?
Imho convert to 8 bit could also help. It's a palette color, with 8 bit and 256 colors from what i can see. And i am not so sure if this image wasn't compressed to save some space and performance instead of making it looking good. Sometimes in game development you sacrifice the look for performance reasons. For the second… -
Re: Metal Slug Background (GBA)
Although the GBA has 256 colour screens, you cant have a 256 colour background quite so simply. It's bee a few years since I have done GBA stuff, so these might be a little off: The screen is made out of 8x8 tiles, which means you can use a tiles system like a kit to put together levels (hence many repeating elements), or… -
[MAX] VRay and Lightmap generation storing "Shadow info" on alpha channel
So this 3D engine I'm using(and I can't change the tech sadly) seems to use lightmaps(just simple 2D dds textures which are mapped to the second UV channel in geometry) in quite a particular way for large chunks of terrain. It seems to read the alpha channel from the lightmap and use it as a multiplier to the lighting… -

Re: Question on painting textures for the DS
Lord no, don't do that. Its bad practice any time, but shrinking down to DS res you'll wind up with a smudgy mess of pixels. Just learn to work at a low res. 64*64 is the most common size you'll work with unless you really desperatly need the extra size or can afford to shrink it down even smaller. You don't -have- to use…
