Re: ==Iridium Soldiers== Our Kickstarter Journey.
I suggest you try and find a copy of Advance wars Muzz, cause your missing out. Most of the time you only need 20 or 30 units per side, so on average say 60 on screen, then take into account each unit needing about 14 joints per unit. That's 840 joints right there; and that is being somewhat conservative. I guess there… -
Re: Red Dead Redemption Techs
If they didn't make them by hand from the start, they definitely worked on a lot of it by hand, splitting up chunks and exporting them, like GTA. It could be a terrain engine, but I highly doubt it, I can't remember any rockstar title which uses terrain. You make roads/trails first so they are correct, you then bridge land… -
Re: UDK dynamic lighting problems
Typically you'd only have one light in a scene casting realtime shadows, the dominant light. (usually given to the sun or, in the Mages' College in Skyrim, the Eye of Magnus, for example) The issue is that it has to redraw* the scene from the perspective of each light (twice for omni lights, possibly) so it's not a cheap… -
Re: Road modeling in AAA [bigger] games
"What you will get from Houdini is limited only by how good you are with it." This really doesn't answer any of the questions I have. Technically, people can create levels that look better than GTA or Crysis games with milkshape or blender. Also, I didn't mean it about the software, but rather the videos you have shown.… -
Re: [UDK] Normandy SR2 Retrofitting facility
The idea I had for this project was to scrape the absolute bottom of the barrel of what I could do in terms of visual fidelity in the UDK when running on a current high end machine. and still keep it playable at a decent frame rate. my current machine Intel 2600k I7 "sandy bridge" 16GB ddr3 Ram 1333hz Nvidia GTX 570 Nvidia… -
Re: Demo Reel WIP Thread - Fantasy Beach Town
Thanks ClamJam! Well, Photobucket is making my pictures super blurry and small so I'm gonna start using DevArt to upload my concepts.. This one took forever, however I'm very happy I did these because now I won't get stuck when I'm modeling. I was thinking about the polygons while I drew these. Should only need to do one… -
Re: UDK - Shader to cover seams
Thanks for the response repete. Filling the UV space with a tiling texture would definitely solve my problem. The UV mapping and texturing method that I'm using is similar to doing just that. In my case though the bridge mesh pictured above is UV mapped so that the UV shells of the 'stone path' are all equally sized and… -
Re: Modo 401 for game art
Here you go OBlastradiusO my smoothing group workaround for Modo, I got the idea from EarthQuake. After this (baring fixing any n-gons) it's ready to go to Unreal or wherever. pior: 401 has had a two service pack updates and is far less crashy than it was on initial release, that said it's still not quite as stable as… -
Re: how to professionally texture terrain?
Hmm, that sounds a bit more rigid than what I had in mind but is an interesting approach nonetheless, thanks for sharing. I can't get into much detail about the project but I think I can make myself clearer without compromising anything. The game isn't really RTS but terrain-wise it seems like good reference. A large… -
Re: Brooklyn Towers
I love this, Mistry, even in it's current state. I think people can learn a lot from what you're doing when it comes to the careful planning of the shot composition. This is one of the most important parts of the final look and you've nailed it so early on. Where it stands now, I really miss the colors of your paint-over,…
