Re: A couple of questions
I created an arced texture the other day by mapping a square texture onto an arc in max and rendering it -that was for text for a logo for the back of a jacket. I suspect you'd get a lot of milage from the Polar co-ordinates filter in Photoshop. You'll notice that most of the bricks are an orange brown with light cement,… -
Re: Video Format?
Well, in my many years of viewing demo reels that come into the studio at work, quicktime has never failed where other formats have. I think it's still the 'safest' bet, although probably not the best. I'm still trying to figure the exact output myself:… -
Re: Vertical Farm Environment (large image)
So a few weeks back my Mobo failed, so I've been set back. However, I have managed to continue to work. Here are some recent shots.As you can see the roof has been completely redone, following one of Shepiero's images (loosely). All textures are currently placeholders, and I'm having some were green bugs with my cubemap.… -
Re: Weird Squealing
Engineer here just echoing sonic, most common cause of squealing outside of a fan (which is obvious to test) is a capacitor overheating and about to pop. could come from anything, PS, MOBO cards etc. Since the screen went green.. that kinda tells me it may not be the PS. Not to be negative but for 75 bucks thats a really… -
Re: High-poly/normal mapped gun modeling
yeah you gotta model the high if you want any decent looking results. All the games I have been working on I have been making the high poly model for all the guns i have done and weapons. Things like text and logos can be added in photoshop but really you will have better results modeling the high poly. Take a look at The… -
Re: Polycount, now and then
I think I'm a hobbyist bordering on pro. I'm going to do a couple more years of freelance while I put together The Ultimate Generalist Reel! It's pretty frustrating for me, since I have all the equipment/software I need, and I'm out of school, but I'm staying here in Norman for a few more years. If I was just a little… -
Re: System crash
It was a laptop and pretty old so I just replaced it. If it had been a desktop I would have started by doing a fresh install of a different OS to ensure it was not a software problem. If it was still freezing I would have started pulling RAM chips one at a time until I found the one that was bad, and if that didnt work I… -
Re: grey scaling
This might help you. http://itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm 2nd image down, with the flesh-colored bongo drums, he talks about this color issue. An old tut by BoBo the seal. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~polycount/ubb/Forum8/HTML/002435.html I couldn't find a link to it, but HarlequiN had a nice grayscale tut image awhile… -
Re: How many tweaks does it take....?
The problem with 3d models especially characters is that a persons edge flow is a dead giveaway of who made the model. If you remember, Bobo's Brunt Q3 project, you can easily see if a model was just knocked off his or even based on how he did it. Of course it depends, but I would credit anyone if I used it out of respect.… -
Re: High poly mesh didn't fit in GPU memory (and other issues)
Yeah, one day I'll need to. I already had to upgrade my laptop's RAM from 8GB to 16. Can still struggle a bit. As things are, I'm not able to give my PC a full upgrade any time soon. I've been using a GTX 1080 for the past 4-5 years or so. I'd have to get myself a whole new mobo too before I could upgrade my CPU. And I…
