Re: Courtyard Environment (image od)
sheess it is all green, my only advice in such a situation would be to model after references that are more interesting in the future, 'exists' and 'looks good' are different things :) You can get away with rather clean materials in games if the color tones are pleasing, i'd almost suggest sampling the green from the photo… -
Re: Max2Hammer
I've been mapping with it since the Source SDK launched. It's pretty much the same old Hammer, with some improvements. One thing that urks me though, is the way you have to create custom "materials" for the Source Engine. You need your base texture (and whatever else you have, bump, etc) in TGA format. After that, you have… -
Re: Shadow Artifacts when Rendering with Ray Tracing
Merely an additional workflow snippet thought worthwhile sharing. I'd previously bookmarked an interesting example when searching for a possible workaround, that I could cope with which involved baking non contiguous grouped HS meshes, via Painter mitigating self occlusion cast by floating geometry in object space, as… -
Re: PC-CSGO | Geometric Error | AK47
Day 2: So over the night I decided to make a program that would generate triangles, 'rotate' them and make them spread out so it look like an explosion. I created this in around 30 minutes in a language called processing, mainly because it is quite easy to create the effect I wanted with toxi's toxiclibs library. Here is… -
Re: [WIP] Apache Helicopter
M.Palko - Wow! I can tell right away that you've spent a lot of time on this Apache based on all of the realistic details and weathering going on. It definitely shows! I really like where this is heading and wanted to share my thoughts on what might help you to push it further as you try and finalize everything. Overall,… -
Re: Steam Workshop now supports paid mod creations
Don't worry, it already is. Example here; For over a while people were complaing about this mod here being a system hog on your average system: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=429374670 But since it's a free thing, we just enjoyed it as it was, even with it's issue. Look at the newest line from the… -
Re: AK-47 Type 3ish (Looking for critiques!)
It's actually very good - you've grasped the shapes and design quite well, I think. Only thing I'm wondering - if it's based on type 3, why not go all the way and make a proper type 3? Currently, it's a mixture of type 3 and AKM. For example, the stock, rear sight base and gas block are typically AKM but normally… -
Re: Workflow Feedback: Modeling & Texturing - kaze369
Hey man, just a few thoughts: I was surprised you started modeling on a perspective image. Seems pretty useless if it's not an ortho. I would just not create an image plane at all, and mess around for a few minutes with primitives/superbasic modeling to get the proportions right. It's important to train your eye and sense… -
Re: Modular Environment Asset Creation
I'm a Max user but hopefully some of this applies to Maya as well. I'll mostly speak to the pipeline issues with regards to buildings since that is the most common form of modular construction. [ QUOTE ] -what portions are the most time consuming (iteration?, assembly?) [/ QUOTE ]Explaining to others (and myself) what… -
