Re: 2D chain texture
@5rettski Observation and speculation can be informative but sometimes the best way to learn is to actually recreate the effect by starting from first principles. It may be helpful to break this problem down into it's constituent parts then work through solving each of them individually to build up an understanding of the… -
Re: What are you working on? 2014 Edition
Chai - Thanks so much man for that paint over, I agree with the hand and handle, I've tried to fix those. Concerning the sword, as adam has said, I feel the straight angle isn't doing the piece a favor, plus a sword that size directly on the shoulder would'nt be too comfortable. Anyhow, let me know if it looks better now… -
Re: Doing More with Less Textures
I think you have made a great point here Mark. I believe one of the reasons I myself have failed to ever finish a large scale project is because of the struggle to know how much detail is really necessary. I have been nitpicking at all the tiny details and as a consequence, always end up blowing the project way out of… -
Re: Completely random thought but also helped burst an idea :D
The US won't do it, NASA is broke, they keep punching its budget like some magical budget balancing pinata. "Oh look you smash these satellites with this rocket and cash falls out! Sweet!" That and NASA has a pretty strict culture of don't colonize planets or alter them in any major way other than to study them and learn… -
Re: How to bake a non-directiobal light map?
@kodde I have tried using knald to get curvature and height map to do what I want but It seems like if the lo and hi polys are not that different(hipoly don't displace from lo poly far enough) It won't generated something usable in this case. @Obscura I google point light map and found old thread about how people make… -
Re: Hard edges, uvs, vertex use, normals, etc
@polygoo: The problem with tangents is, that they are a property of the tris, but are saved at the vertices (for interpolation). This lead to the problem, that vertices sometimes need to save opposite tangent spaces (left/right handed). Now, this is not a problem per se, you just need to duplicate the vertex using two… -
Re: Gaming trends you want gone in 2014
Designing for the lowest-common-denominator assuming it will bring in more sales. Not so much with new franchises but I'm soooooo sick of seeing sequel x now has snazy integrated facebook features and vastly simplified controls because that way all the casual players who weren't interested in it before will magically want… -
Re: The Hologram Devlog
Thank you very much MisterSande, here's a clickable link https://www.patreon.com/xeoncat And here are my first wanderings. Spent hours looking at references of low earth orbit photos, iss and scifi works. Haven't had this kind of stuff just come out like that in ages. As I said, the state of human tech is near future. I… -
Re: Jobs that requires a metacritic score
If the art department gets a bunch of slip-shot wanna-be "artists" sending in their chrome spheres floating above a chessboard, then what does the design department get... Even the chessboard artists fancy themselves "game designers" and probably apply for both jobs. Everyone wants to be the person that dreams up games,… -
Re: THRONE ROOM: Gods Return - Kazperstan
So I've getting my head round designer with help from work mates and various videos and setting up my base material maker! I've got a base set up now that allows me to stick in a heightmap & normal from a bake and does the majority of the work for me, or I can flick a switch and go into pattern mode to make tileables and…
