Re: Lighting tech
It depends on the game engine. The lighting tech in RFOM is basically that they bake the lighting into a special kind of normal map that stores the lighting directions. Then the regular tiled normal maps use this special lighting normalmap to apply directional lighting. They also use vertex color to color the lighting,… -
Re: Critique/Feedback needed: Venus temple environment
Values: Paint Over: Hello there. I think your thumbnail plan for the environment works very well. You've good blocking and composition. However unfortunately, as often happens, you seem to have got wrapped up in the details and rendering of your painting and have lost control of your values. Your "dark" foreground frame… -
Re: Ubi Soft--Might be working there
No, they thought i was american and they gave me a job. They only found out after I signed that I wasn't American when they tried to process a new Social Insurance Number. You'll be okay. Just be sure to get your responsibilities 'in writting' and that it lines up with what they say on the phone, I had a different job… -
Re: Motivation and Frustration with Progressing
I'm a little late to the party hopefully it hasn't turned into a feeding frenzy where everyone bags on the new kid, like the first page suggests... luv ya polycunts. This might seem insulting but, it fits, at least for me. Motivation & inspiration to artists, is the feather to Dumbo. At first, you really don't know how or… -

Re: Team-Fortress 2 demo this week?
I love the pyro class. It works well in close spaces and in tunnels. You're also a eng's best friend for flushing out spies. Out in the open you're a sitting duck. I think the main thing to remember is that you have other weapons, light them on fire and if they back out of range, light em up with the shotty. Q is right… -
Re-imagining Shadowglen [WIP]
Hi everyone! I have been working on an art project for my portfolio and wanted to start documenting my progress here. For the first part of the project, I came up with a character and backstory so that I could apply that to the environment. One of the things I am trying to improve on is adding a story to my environments. I… -
Importing Weird Light?
Anyone know why when I rotate my staff I end up with this weird light issue? Appears that only one side of the blade is getting proper lighting and the other side is completely black. The lighting issue went away after freezing my transforms when I initially import it, but as soon as I choose another lighting method (for… -
Re: Mystic Waterfall photo manip
I... what? I'm not even going into the conceptual bit because I guess some people are just in to random weird stuff. Also there is enough technically wrong to mention: -it's brighter than a tie-dye shirt, and the bloomsparkleshine is off the handle too. This makes everything shouty and clash. Brightness is a tool, like… -
Re: Not Another M4 Carbine!
I've been a little busy, but here's a quick update on my bake (wires are above) I have a couple of concerns right now. The first being the tape around the foregrip. It's just a plane that I detached from the foregrip and 'pushed' slightly outward. You might have noticed that certain parts are vanishing. This gets worse the…
