Re: Derivative Normal Maps - What are they?
Just wanted to let everyone know that I have updated the Photoshop actions I posed a few pages back, which brings the current version up to 1.2 The update adds a new Normal to Derivative (Accurate) option and the old method has been renamed to Normal to Derivative (Fast). What has changed? * Normal to Derivative (Fast) - A… -
Re: Asset creation speed?
But that is assuming your quality is high enough to land the job. For people practicing who haven't hit that quality mark, they need to focus on making decent stuff before they focus on speed. They can get themselves in some really bad habits that are hard to break by focusing on speed too early. No one will hire someone… -
Re: Lightmaps: tech pros and cons
Off the top of my head, this is assuming you're comparing lightmaps to a real time shadow map solution. LIGHTMAPS pros: 1.quality of the light rig is unlimited as it is baked, so you can do whatever you want global illumination and all that magic 2.saves a lot of frame rate, our real time shadows costs about 4ms which is… -
Re: Reel Review for Jr. Animator position
Solid amount of work and good length on the reel IMO. Some things I'd take into consideration to improve it: - I would have liked to see more angles of certain animations because some look good from one angle, but how do they look from another? - You have a lot of short animations. Something I think would boost your reel… -
Re: Hard Surface/ Prop Sketchbook
@Poinball Thanks dude! Glad I'm on the right track! @Poseidon8734 I find it's good to find a bunch of different stuff around the house and in catelogues/ magazines etc. and just try to copy it as closely as possible. Start out simple and move on to more complex stuff as you improve. After that find some prop or weapon… -
Re: Rig Transfer
How was the rig created? That will dictate how you go about the transfer. Do you have animation on the old rig that you want to transfer to the new one? Walk and Run cycles ect... I personally like using Advance Skeleton It can make bipeds and quadupeds, really just about anything you would want to make. In AS it's easy to… -
Re: How to Approach This
Again, there is nothing wrong with modeling the corners, it simply wasn't the question he was asking to solve. So popping in and saying "more geo" but ignoring his actual problem wasn't very useful. Also, i'm not sure about you guys, but to round the corners on a mesh like this on the low it takes two clicks, you literally… -
Re: Life after graduation...
@LMP that's quite inspiring! Well here's my story... I took a one year Game Art and Design course at Vanarts. After my year was up, I worked on my portfolio but didn't really apply to many jobs (where could I apply to? Haha). Anyways I applied and got hired back at the electronics store I had been working at for 5 years… -
Re: Polygonal Planet Project - a Unity demo for your browser
Thanks! On the creative side, they are mostly tech-driven: I have some idea that I want to test or some problem that I want to solve. In both this one and Brick Block, I wanted to find a good and systematic way of working with handcrafted tilesets. Along the way, I find other interesting problems I also want to tackle. In… -
Re: Character - Space Opera Princess
