Re: Managing consistent texel density
@killnpc np - also sometimes i sound grumpy :D @gnoop consistent does not mean constant. a racing game example is a perfect example of where texel density rules are important. trackside objects need more because they're closer, background objects get less . you set standards for the various types of object based on their… -
Negotiating Sign-on Bonuses
Hey folks! I get asked a lot about the "business" side of being a game artist, so I thought I would start condensing my brain dumps into short articles. Awhile ago I did a quick blurb in a Discord group about negotiating signon bonuses during interviews. I wanted to take it a step further and make it available to more… -
Parallaxed Textures!
Hi everybody! I've always been really interested in parallaxing and would be thrilled to learn how it's done =) I'm currently working on a redesign of Knight Commander Meredith's sword from Dragon Age 2 where the bulk of the blade is primarily crystal (red lyrium)- and thus thought of how cool it would be if the crystal… -

Baking 16bit normal maps in maya
Hi All, I am trying to bake 16bit per channel normal maps in maya. So far the only way I managed to do this is by using the transfer maps and baking out to .exr format. This gives me 32bit normal maps which I can convert in photoshop to the correct format. I am only worried about compression on these .exr files since they… -

Slosh I used to work remotely before and I still get some offers but I can’t work now and yes it because of my location,I mentioned the degree because… -
Re: ZBrush Decimation and SP baking.
Thank you for the response. 16m polys is the final count for the whole high poly model. It consists much more planks and models (the above plank for example it's only 1.5m before decimation and 400k after it). I'm currently making a texture set for almost all the assets I'm using in the scene. I usually like to import the… -
Re: Help with Modular Characters Pipeline
Yes. But in the example given by Alex Javor, the cut pieces are in strategic locations (like on the end of the arms, where the shirts begins). So the assembly happens on a geometry level; the pieces aren't a continuous mesh and normals shouldn't be an issue (the hands intersect underneath the sleeves for example. Hats…
