Re: Inflating high poly before baking normal map
I missread the OP. :# I think he meant inflating low poly. It's what I meant. Doing it to Hipoly is indeed weird. Inflating low poly along vertex normals to bake world space normal map on the other hand is where low poly itself become the cage . That way it works in many renderers that are not supported by regular texture… -
Struggling to break into the industry? Is your folio helping you?
So following on from my AMA post a while back a lot of Polycounters have contacted me and asked for folio critiques. Most of those asking for help were students or graduates and there were a lot of similar problems with their current folio. So, I thought I’d take some time to share some insights here.

Re: Can you tell me what projection is this?
It's pretty easy to bake in Max, if that's what you have or prefer. * Select the model with two UV channels on it (like my glTF example). * In the Material Editor, add a Bitmap node, and load your equirect map. * Set the map channel in the Bitmap node to the equirect UV layout (channel 2 in my example). * Add a Physical… -

Character sheets more important every day
As we move to that ever higher polycount it seems that some companies have a problem keeping up. So often i have seen some lovely character concepts, with style and feeling but with very little detail and much too much room for interpritation being used to help the hapless character artist make that 2 million poly… -
Re: UT3 & Gears Environment Art
I think the process that he describes goes like this: 1. Render out a basic skylight image of your object - Example 2. Delete the skylight from your scene. Apply a material that has a high specular to your object. Through Render Elements get an image of your spec highlights - Example 3. Take the two images into photoshop… -
Re: Super pimp, awesome, generic male head
The first thing that jumps out at me when looking at this is that it doesn't seem like there's underlying structure in this guy's face. The general landmarks are there -- eyes, nose, mouth, etc. -- but there's no indication of bones and general structure below the surface to hold them in place. Everything seems to flow… -
