Re: Character Artist Survey
Soul as you seem to be the main advocator here. Answer me this: Have you actually used both methods exstensively in production and weighted the pros and cons of each? Even with your example mesh in the other thread, you say how can someone make a 1024 look good if you cant make a 128 look good. Well if you take your own… -
low... low low poly nascar
hey guys, posting this up because I think I'm stuck or there's no more optimization to make on it, but wanted some input. Currently the outside and inside faces of the wheels are not using square opacity, as we don't know if mobile devices will be able to draw that much overlapping opacity yet... we're supposed to be doing… -
Making an Enviornment DS reel: M1 abrams
This is a follow up to the thread I started in the 2D and 3D discussion thread. Thanks for all the good information everyone has provided, it's been very helpful and motivating. Hi I'm currently targeting a company that is developing Nintendo DS games and this is what I'm making to show them. It's an M1 abrams, and it's… -
Why 127 is the new 128
Please enlighten or correct me as to where I'm wrong thinking on this notion ...or I may just be tilting at windmills... I understand that when you take a number, say like, 255 [(a hole number integer) out of context] and divide it by 2 you get 127.5 and thus, through comprehensible rounding, bring it to 128 and provide… -
Re: Texture sizes?
Take into account how close you will be able to get to an object in game, and what the platform will be. I recently had to re-do a boatload of textures because when we got our 360 dev kit hooked up to some high def TVs, and the textures just looked like pixelated garbage. For example: If you have a non-tiling 256 covering… -
Re: Marmoset Skyshop 1.07 is out! Image Based Lighting for Unity
So I think what you're describing is the awful way some apps (like photoshop) save .PNG files where if alpha is 0, RGB is discarded for the sake of compression. Unfortunately this is terrible for rendering and unfixable once the color data is gone. I'm having trouble following your code but if you wanted to replace the bad… -
Re: having a problem with this Well
The problem you're having now is stetching and uneven uvs before baking. You need to check that your uvs are more or less the same scale. Take your uvs shells and sellect and the uv verts then use the unfold tool in your uv window and it will average it all out. Two ways you can check to see that everything is to scale is… -
Re: hand painted weapon study
Thanks so much shotgun~ That's really helpful. So I did some adjust again. 1, Reset the light as you did. 2, I really like the reflection under the studs! 3, I tried to add some cracks, but due to the symmetry of the shield, I finally removed them.:poly127: Those cracks you made look really nice, but I have no space to… -
Re: Hand-Painted Floating Air Garage.
Hi everyone. Found a bit more time to work on this. I made a little steam generator thingy for the back side of the house and worked on the textures for everything a bit more. I only just realized what light map resolution does, heh, so the lighting is coming along. Here's how it is at the moment. Here's a closer shot of…
