Yeah man, from my experience make sure YOU save very often. It's incredibly embarrasing to have photoshop crash on you and have to start over in front of everyone because you didn't save. Also, I just taught some lectures on PS - I went over some very basic things that would be useful: Shortcuts + hotkeys How to PROPERLY…
You've got half the answer right there - at the moment you just slap an existing texture or photo on top and generate the other maps. Textures, like everything else is a skill and an art - you need to manually create these things. But this doesn't answer how - what I suggest to start with is to develop your eye for HOW…
Development diary week 7 This week had been going quite well with with my throne's UV's on the verge of completion. that is until disaster struck. To my horror, I discovered that the UV's I had created thus far had begun to bleed into each other, this turn of events left me with no other option but to remake the UV's once…
justin, your neckless dudes were giving me grief in the space mode yesterday, so i destroyed them. sorry :) The space section is cool, just wish some of the smaller planets wouldn't coff at your offers to purchase their system. Stupid aliens. My overall / final impresions (almost beat one planet/race evolution cycle) Level…
Bullying is bullying, it's not a gay or straight issue at all though. Straight kids commit suicide from bullying as well, the percentage might be lower, but still any suicide from bullying is one too many. I can think of a handful that made US headlines in the last year as well. Ugly kids might not 'become' pretty either.…
I´ll just mention the things I like with it then you can decide if there´s anything of value in it. Every person is different and want different things. In my case I´m a gadget-nerd with small pockets. All in one preffered! :) In my case i use it more as a universal device than a phone. Remember that. :) --- * The games…
Here is the Hairtool addon for Blender. This looks like the kind of result you might be after. It comes with a hair card and a hair material that includes a normal map. I havent read, but are you using a normal map? The hair in your examples looks dead and has no depth. There is a lot of documentation for hairtool. There…
Here's the current textures I'm using for the whole thing. I'll probably double this by the time I'm done which isn't too bad All the textures are hand painted including the normal maps. It was too complicated to try and bake a normal map down when my texel density is about 32px/meter. I pretty much just painted specific…
- Conceptually in function, you've pretty much just described a flamethrower but with hot water instead of gasoline. Flamethrowers are simple in they're just pumps with pilot lights at the end. Search images for the M1A1 and M2 flamethrower, they're basically a single tube with grips. - Good technical modelling skill can…
Thanks for all the suggestions and thoughts, guys! Everything is spot on to what my main concerns are about, and I'm in agreement with almost everything that was mentioned. Exactly, I think the mine probably makes sense to be first, but I was undecided since the WIP is newer . I guess I'll leave the mine first until I get…
