Re: Ninja Theory's past struggles.
Ninja Therory, Dontnod (Remember me) = same struggle They are trying to achieve AAA game without having the budget to do so. The results? It gives games with amazing art visually but poor technically add to that, due to budget limitation, because they prefer to throw money at the art team, lazy mocap scene and show off… -
Re: Substance and Unreal 4, texture differences
That does sound really useful. Im using Maya. I cant stand Max at all, definately not for me :) So in theroy. I could duplicate my character(s) mesh, transfer the weights onto it, detach my orginal from the skeleton, sperate the parts again for substance, fix UVs, get a clean bake in substance, combine the parts again in… -
Re: Any good terrain tutorials?
Ive been looking into terrain as well lately, however I use max. I took a look at your site and it appears you are interested in game design, so I will say this about terrain. From what I know its mainly done in engine I think. Like BSP. Well when dealing with Ued this is for sure. So here is a terrain tutorial in Ued.… -
Re: "The Poly-Telier" ( A call to all artists who wish to improve in Washington)
I dont think this is a bad idea in theroy, but it seems too open ended in todays society... it might work better in terms of some large 4 day weekend seudo-LAN party that has some kind of goal. Like a bunch get together, in a house that can support as many rigs, for a long 4day weekend with the purpose of finishing a… -
Learning PBR with chests
That's it, I'll finally try to get into PBR stuff, even if I don't really like realistic graphics. So I started a simple chest, nothing fancy, and here is where I am after some hours of reading everything I found on this site and eslewhere. I'm using UE4 so, Metalness workflow. Had a hard time figuring why it looked bad, I… -
Re: EA shows clearest 'bullshot' in a long time
While the ball does look retouched to clear out some shadows and make it more legible, it wouldn't be hard to imagine a few lines of code telling the ball to always face the Spalding logo toward the camera, like with sprites and certain types of planar plant life. That is, if the logo was always facing the camera, which it… -
Re: no games use coloured specular
For me the part that breaks in the argument is : This is very true in the realm of ... reality. Yeah, light is defined by the law of physics and optics, so in 'real' practice it is true. But! Rubber, copper, skin, painted metal have some very unique physical qualities in the real world that don't have an equivalent in the… -
Re: Right.. time to draw!.. oh wait I can't
I cant really draw anything amazing, i know the basics of perspective and all that but have a hard time doodling anything amazing looking, super out of practice. I don't find it really effects my 3d work at all, most of the environments I have ever made were either based off a concept painted by a wicked 2d artist, or tons… -
Re: Doom 3 character model tutorials
I'm interested in having characters that can customise their character, adding armour to a standard model. adding armour on top of the model, diffuse map over the normal map? how one could do it in the old engines one can buy or steal armour and place the armour on target areas of the character- arms and shoulders, body… -
Re: Gumroad Tutorials List
I'm not great at posting lengthy reviews. But i'll throw in my two cents. I got really excited when all these tutorials starting popping up. I'm a big tutorial junkie, especially when it comes to concept art and drawing training. I bought a total of 7 videos in one day assuming a couple might be so so, but hoping most…
