Re: Timeless Art
As long as ports/emulation exists, games will always be visible for the future and beyond. Especially as it benefits these same companies to keep their IP's relevant for future audiences. The gist I was getting was as long as a game is good or executes a concept really well, doesn't mean it has to be forgotten by newer… -
Re: Wrap retoplogy tool
In defense of the extend tool: It projects from your camera onto the surface whereas the other conform brushes project based off the normal of the LP model, I've found in many situations its more precise to use extend to just put the vert where you want it with one click, rather than with a larger brush, that could cause… -
Re: Made a game art blog, "Creating Triangle Soup"!
Could definitely do a blog post around that question :) ! The long and short of it though, is that, it's something I'm constantly thinking about from Day 1. For the whole level, and any given location, we work in multiples passes throughout our different milestones (pre-alpha/alpha/beta/gold). So, any given area can go… -
Re: feathering decals
It's not in your head, in older versions of Unreal there was a bias value on textures using 1-bit alpha to let you adjust the greyscale threshold of what would be opaque and what would be transparent. I'm not sure why, but newer builds of UDK seem to have removed it. I've noticed this often, especially with lights, that… -
Re: TA Portfolio Review
* Banner and menus are too big and takes up too much space * I have no idea what the first image is meant to be, it kind of looks like the middle 1/3 of a cartoony face painted on a wall, but it could be anything. I'm wondering how this has got anything to do with anything. Is it an example of your work? If yes, then it… -
Re: ShaderFX TGA PBL shader
Hey Kees, For some reason, I have to clamp the textures in the 0.1-0.99 range manually, this is most prevalent on 1D textures that might have been saved in a somewhat lossy format or compressed format (such as TGA or BMP as example). I don't have the access extension update, so I can't say if that fixed the clamp issue,… -
Re: Max: getting finer or broader control when using the transform gizmo?
gah, late reply. Thanks for the input, Mark. Scaling and resetting Xform didn't do it, and my Grid/Snap settings and unit settings look fine to me (I've got units set to inches vs. centimeters, but otherwise the same as yours). It doesn't matter, though, because I found a solution to my mouse-drag scale increment problem… -
Re: [Portfolio] Tricia Herbert, Environment Artist
Well they gave me an example file that I don't have on my page, and they were pretty specific about how they wanted it to look, and I feel like what I did was very close to the example. They had requirements about making it be a food stand, using a food product of my choice, they had specific requirements about style and… -
Re: I need you help guys :) what am i doing wrong?
I have no real experience in modelling so I can't really judge your skills (though it looks fine enough to me) but I think your main problem are the concepts. I scrolled through your workshop and in my opinion most of them look pretty bland and generic - but then again I got a massive weak spot for crazy concepts so it… -
Re: Surforge 1.0.1 released - new tool for 3d rendered PBR texturing
Surforge supports text labels and fonts (in current version, only Bebas font comes with it, but you could add yours). There are also some interesting text and labels features: Labels interact with specular/gloss, normal, ao and worn edges. When adding text label or warning sign, no need to worry about the texture channels.…
