Re: More important issue than immigration.
I think it's possible that Israel will fly airstrikes as soon as the Iranian bomb is anywhere near finished. I remember that Israel flew air attacks against the Iraq Osirak reactor. As for Irani missile attacks: Iraq was attacking Israel with Scud missiles for quite some time, the damage caused was not huge. Kassam… -
Re: Is the extra effort really noticed
I believe that people only notice the artwork in the first ten to twenty minutes of game. Unless there is special attention called to the graphics, like inflicting post-mortem damage in Soldier of Fortune, I think players mainly concentrate on playing the game rather than the artwork. The main purpose of having really… -
Re: [portfolio] Jonas Ronnegard
Jonas: nice stuff. I especially like the watercooler and ball-thingy. I'd agree with you, and say that you shouldn't overlay anything onto the normalmap. The clean normals work much better. Unless it's damaged concrete or similar, I think the normalmap looks better without any noise/grunge in there. The render of the… -
Re: Big handgun [Finished]
i like the overall feel,but the materials scream fake , the metal doesnt seem to been having any exposure to falls, dents etc, all you did was chip the paint minuciously without damaging the metal structure, , the blade feels very fake too , the blood on it seems someone had a bloody nose and dropped blood on it ill make a… -
Re: Learning trim sheets. Some questions...
Yes, basically. I have done trims with seamless tiling left/right, and it worked fine. Also, you're not limited to just trims. Usually you can also mix in regular tiled textures, as new materials, assigned to neighboring polygons. For example a tiling plaster wall, surrounded by marble moulding. The wall can use a tiled… -
Re: short-sighted heavy computer users glaucoma risk
This is that same Japanese study that was talked about 2 months ago. I spoke to my eye doctor about it on my last visit a few weeks ago. She said the study was a load of crap, and that it's impossible for eye stress to cause glaucoma. I was concerned about that study, so I did some research on glaucoma, and I have to… -
Re: # of sides on a barrel
24 sides sounds like a lot, especially with the more edge loops you add to adjust the form. I find usually 14-16 is good for 3rd person games, maybe 20 for a fps, but in reality its probably gonna only be an ancillary detail in the world and I would rather spend my polys elsewhere for some cool damage or whatever. it… -
Re: Underground Industrial Bunker
There are some artefacts cos I was mega lazy and didn't optimise the lowpoly and just smoothed it globally. The odd smoothing trasnferred to the NM when baked and i did some painting in the channels, hence some artefacts. I'm currently resculpting the damaged again and rebaking an optimised low poly with smoothing groups,… -
Re: Sam copies Sean!!
Nice man, this entire post puts me to shame. I really love seeing all this. One thing I'd like to see on the orc, is skin blotches. Sort of like liver spots. Lots of discolored patches of skin. Right now, even though he is wrinkled all up, his actual skin seems almost perfect. I think he needs some serious color damage as… -
Re: Weapon Practice!
The texture on the blade of that sword is making it look very stone-like, try making it less cloudy and removing the brown in the specular map. The larger scratches/damage aren't really helping much in that regard either. The gun looks to be nice and clean so far, looking at your reference however it seems the stock has a…
