Re: Question: How to put head in water
That's a cool idea. Makes me think of the pink stuff in The Abyss. I don't know what shader support UT2004 has, but I would try to Multiply a 2nd fluid-like map on top of the existing color map, using some sort of combiner shader. The fluid map could be red with a white wavy border along the top (multiply colors by white… -

Re: Creating LoDs
Nothing really beats reducing polys by hand in any app. But there are some pretty good plug-ins available that do a pretty good job of reducing polys. I'm not sure what 3D app you're using but there is one for 3dsMax called PolyCruncher that does a pretty good job at not messing up your UV's, but can mess up the topology… -
Re: hey guess what, normal map issues!
1SG *can* work if your entire workflow is synced up, ie: your baker and renderer using the same tangent space. Out of the box this isn't the case with Max, and it isn't the case with most game engines. If you're working on this model just to display in Max viewport and not send off to a game engine, you can use 3Point… -
Re: What is the meaning of life?
I belive that life can't negate itself, so the "purpose" if you are looking for that can't be one that can be furfilled or defined at a certain point it has to be a ongoing process. I personally see "life" a bit broader because I try to avoid these endless nitpick discussion (with myself to ) what is classed as life and… -

Re: Japanese garden
you're putting loads of time into awesome looking walls and a bridge and then the rocks and trees which take up 90% of your screen real estate look unloved and bland. the foliage is too saturated, and monochromatic. and makes the whole scene merge together instead as one blob of colour. when you do trees, try to use… -

New to the forums and could use some beginners advice on environment art
Hello everyone, my name is Ragnar and I live in Sweden. I am very new to Polycount, but really glad that I found it! I have spent countless hours on creating levels for about 5 years, especially on the Far Cry titles. During the past year I have felt that the maps I want to create, are surpassing the limits of what can be…
