Re: Diffuse tinting for varations: how do YOU do it?
I toyed with using a LUT file straight out of photoshop on our diffuse textures ingame. So rather than it being a screen space effect, I simply used a specific LUT on a texture before it was rendered but after it was passed into memory. It allowed me to control anything on the colour, so if a texture had blue, I could make… -
Re: The role Environment Artist & Level Designer at your studio
Very helpful thread. thank you all guys. what we do: Level designers do base block modeling with google sketchup. if level does not contain terrain. Environment artist makes that blocks look detailed (environment artist does texturing too) do LOD/physic/lighting ... and export whole level from 3ds max. Level designer gives… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Ryan Rude
I agree with Slybones, I actually totally missed the arrows until I read his posted and looked at your site again. The only other crit I have is I don't like really small/thin thumbnails like you have there. I know there are many great artists that do this sort of thing with the thumbnails, but honestly, I feel like it… -
Re: Does this look like PBR Leather to you?
Before we even talk about giving the leather some wear, you need to first make it feel like leather. The picture Avvi posted is pretty good reference, notice all the cracky vein like structures. Those structures should be represented within your normal, roughness and even a bit within the Albedo. Check out this tutorial,… -
Re: UDK Jungle Environment Techniques and Level WIP
The mountains tiling effect leleuxart is referencing is unnecessary for this application. There are some tuts floating around and I just saw an amazing example of it from a fellow here on polycount not more than a coming days ago. I'm positive that folks can point you in the right direction when you need it. That said,… -
Re: Adobe portrait app: 3D from 2D
this was done with 3d scanners already. first thing i usually ask on a project where we're using those is to make sure there is a plan and budget to hire actors/models, not use the pizza munching dude from QA as some hard boiled cop character. a previous company i worked at also briefly ran ads in newspapers in which they… -
Re: For those without AC..
well here's how we do it in india: buy ceiling fans, turn fan on when in room with said fan. of course the cross ventilation system works, but that just costs more power, and isn't as effective as doing it when in a car. Shutting the house up tight? depends on colours: if its all black, believe it, it will get hot. Don't… -
Re: Pornography now pretty much illegal!
When do we get to swing things back the other way when Americans had jobs. The US goverment had money in the bank, we where not off in other countries pissing in peoples corn flakes. Oil companies didn't use natual disasters as an excuse to jack gas prices thru the roof and leave them there. I should start an instutue for… -
Re: [Portfolio] James Benson, Animator
4 seconds.. !! from the looks of it, there is quite the swing in his motion, but it feels like his torso does not keep up with the amount of swing the limbs have. maybe his lower torso doesnt move with as much as should? or maybe his head is bobn a bit too much longer vid sir, longer vid because i tend to go arggg when the… -
Re: UT3 Inspired, Sci-Fi Cannon
I think you need to decide what sort of gun this is first. For example, if it fires bullets or shells you'll need some sort of breech mechanism, to allow for the loading and ejection of the cartridges; or perhaps some sort of magazine containing the shells. If it fires energy, I think it would be cool to see an energy…
