Polycount meet-up: super-sized to Poly-Con
Hello all, I've been invited to the yearly festival of nerdiness; MAGFest that takes place near Washington DC and in the first week of January 2012. What that means is we have the chance to do some panels, perhaps some talks, portfolio reviews perhaps.... whatever we'd like. I'd like to invite you all of course to come and… -
Re: Super Soaker
I think you need to stop texturing and rework your low poly. You need to round out your cylinders more, and to do that you need to make a lot of cuts. Note: I'm going to assume that this is an FPS weapon, and am going to make optimization suggestions based on that. Your FPS views seem to indicate that it is for an FPS,… -
Re: Need your impressions on my Walk Cycle
Some good walks! The side view for Mery, if you look at her butt, it's very stiff. Doesn't seem to move what so ever. It's hard to tell if you have much forward/back tilt on the hips, but if you do, it isn't much. Looks like the hips are rotated forward, then just go side to side. Try and add some tilt (Pelvic thrusts,… -
Re: 3 Week 'Normal Map' learning experience. Need your guys help.
I did that method but from my testing that method only works if your cap is going to have hard normals instead of soft normals. If you set the normals on the caps to soft you get weird stripes along the sides from the two smallest triangles. It could be because I was using a 24 sided cylinder, but it might be ok if you use… -
Re: Why so blue?
That's not what Matt and Whargoul are saying, as I understand it. In your example, the character is getting skylight everywhere (not just where the sun isn't shining), so it should get the AO everywhere as part of that light source. The skylight is "ambient." Since the AO is affecting the entire character all the time, you… -
Re: Xbox One
Nope. The difference between DX7 and DX9 was astronomical. The difference between DX9 and DX11 is largely incremental. Faked GI vs. Real GI... which most people couldn't tell a difference unless they're side by side. 1080p vs 720p ... which most people couldn't tell a difference unless they're side by side. -
Separate texture sets or atlases?
I want to hear people's opinion on this one. I'm making asset packs to sell on digital stores like, for example, fab (previously unreal marketplace). And one thing I always struggle with it to decide how much stuff should I pack into atlases? On one hand - atlases save on draw calls, which is, obviously, good for… -
Re: Zbrush displacement issue
It's more likely an issue on the rendering side. If you're using Maya/Arnold, try searching for that. This is also a good resource to look at: https://www.cggallery.com/tutorials/disp With the 32bit image, even if it looks black there's still data there. -
Re: Early testers wanted (platform for indie & solo game devs)
"[...] Back to the main thing - I met an old friend of mine a while ago and he shared with me the project he is working on. I am not able to share the details but long story short it is kind of a game engine (not something revolutionary new I get it) but the thing that caught my attention wasn’t the tech itself, but the… -
Re: Please give me some critique on my Folio :)
Here are my thoughts in no particular order: * 1. Resume You really need to reformat your resume. At the MOST it should be one page long. You have a lot of wasted space, mostly in the form of a large font size and spacing between lines. Your list of skills can also be converted into a table. You can get what you have…
