Re: Workflows for games, movies and other environments
This is a huge question to answer as there are specific roles in games and more importantly films industry devoted to pipeline alone. But to simplify if you want to create an image on your own its all fine by just modeling, texturing it and then rendering in zbrush as there is no need to change it later, give it to another… -
Re: Online "Industry Secrets" for sale
Thanks :) gonna be putting out some articles next week and then focusing on some env art tutorials and content for a youtube channel. A side note, I already have a fairly profitable side hustle that handles my daily expenses, so 99% of whatever I make off selling tuts is going to be funneled back into growing the company,… -
Re: Dota 2 Monthly Community Competition #14 - April
While I also think sets are the road to Valve's heart, I didn't think getting things accepted by Valve was the main idea behind the thread. I thought the point was to learn and help others learn in a fun way and if something get accepted by Valve it's just an extra bonus. With that said, I do have an idea of a way we can… -
Re: Consistent Texel density vs. Importance/Space efficiency?
1) Yes. I can't think of a reason not to work like this. Faces, labels and areas of models that face the camera a lot are all suitable candidates for this. Take a look at ID Software's "RAGE" for example. The TD fluctuations are very, very big there - but it actually works and the game looks great imo. 2) I would say so… -
Re: Is my character art good enough? (Anime - Visual Novel)
Id say its definitely passable, especially when making a game you shoudlt nitpick to much on single art assets. with that said you can always improve, its just a matter of setting goals :) and its not like we have anything against this style of art you know, its more the standard deviant art attitude, aka, cant take… -
Re: Seem placement options?
Overlapping a symmetry uv is good to get a more higher texture density on other unique bits, but don't over do it cus you might get an artifact of what we call 'butterfly effect'. It's when you can see the pattern on you texture mirror right at the center of your mesh. For hands/ legs for example it's hard to tell since… -
Re: Rockstar San Diego
We should start a new independent game development organization with radically different revenue models and say goodbye to the publishers anyway. We used to need them. Before the internet. We don't need them anymore. They need us. Walk away. Change the industry, entirely. You don't need anything but a link to distribute… -
Re: If you could change 3dsmax...
shift click to duplicate in place got removed in max 2008. max 9 was the last version that had that. bring back the old shift click behavior but add options to it so it doesn't bring up a dialogue every time you do it, and you can also specify how far you need to move something before the duplicate happens for those that… -
Re: My iPhone game! Shounen Kung-fu!
@Thatanimator - I hope I didn't come across the wrong way in my comments. I think the game looks awesome - there's certainly no need to play the "i'm an animator" card ;) I guess when I was playing it, I just saw some potential in there for a few tweaks to make it stand out. The great animations combined with simple (yet… -
Re: Edges - when to normal map them?
Its not a nice option, but its what you have to deal with when using a broken tanget space setup. Unfortunately this is the only technically correct method, everything else gives visual artifacts as already explained. Its not really something you're doing wrong persay, but the realities of every bit of software handeling…
