Re: High Poly vs. Normals Generation
Basically what hes saying is...when it comes to baking the large forms of a mesh, using a high poly is better...mainly edges/corners of a mesh. Anything that isn't on a flat plane is usually going to be better if you bake it...since the bake does the math of counteracting edge smoothing, etc.. for you. nDo is good for… -
Re: Folio quality in actual games.
thats pretty much why. With portfolio pieces you only have to worry about the graphics. If its still shots you could technically boost up the quality as much as you want. Like add higher quality shadows and take pictures at higher resolutions than normal and compress them etc. Graphics are always the most intensive things… -
Re: Why am I being charged monthly for providing free sample pack? (Gumroad)
I don't sell anything on Gumroad but i think they should only take a royalty fee like Epic ( or Unity, Spotify etc. ) does for the marketplace, paying a monthly fee even if you don't sell or earn anything doesn't make sense and you also need to pay all the taxes after receiving the money etc. It is the same story with… -
Re: How do you guys push yourself to practice art?
What helps me a bit is streaming. Once I press that "start streaming" button I know that I have to 100% focus on making art and I can't go and check polycount, reddit or etc every 20 minutes. Working 2-3 hours per day is okay. I can't work for more than 4 hours in one sitting because I get burnt out and need to take a… -
Re: Normal maps
There are lots of completely correct ways to make and alter tangent space normal maps. You can bake to tangent space from a hi-poly mesh, bake to world space from a hi-poly mesh and use Handplane to convert the map to tangent space, paint a heightmap in Photoshop or Mari and convert it to a detail normal map with Knald or… -
Re: Sculpting a Character
Thanks for the tip Dimfist, I'll get some ref images of muscle structure in the face. I have reference I've been following that has wrinkles, poors, etc. but for wrinkles and smile marks and all those details I don't know which brushes are more effecient for that. What techniques do people use for those, which combination… -
Re: Ryse animaiton reel
Thanks guys :) Well, we had amazing actors, but also an amazing data. But of course you need to puzzle things together, because 1 execution took me like 2-3 hours just to retime them, make hold certain beats, adjust reactions/hits, etc. It´s like a small puzzle for itself, you should not just take for granted whatever was… -
Re: Why need low res version of high res of game model when using normal maps?
Okay, so It's necessary for greater control over the mesh for animation, rig, better topology etc., and also even make it lower poly count maybe for mobile games. What if creating the low resh mesh by referencing the lowest subdiv level from zbrus, since the normal map perfectly applies to it. I imagine it would be easier… -
Re: How do you model? - Time lapse references
That would be kinda neat... I suspect with the new UI changes there might be a bit more flexibility in creating custom layouts etc that would focus more on stuff like modeling/sculpting together. I think you can do some of that even now... though it will probably be a lot sweeter after 2.5. Blender is such a 'light' app as… -
Re: japanese scientists says dreams can be read in the future
Lamont: My mom used to play this computer game called "the journey to Wild Devine" where you had to control stuff using exercises such as breathing, imagining certain things etc. It was all measured with some devices around your fingertips measuring the resistance of the skin or something similar. (resistance has something…
