Re: Ideas
No one knows if it's a good idea or not from just one or 2 lines of text. Get yourself a engine that you are familiar with. I would personally recommend Unity, it's a great engine to very quickly make some prototypes in. And make a very basic prototype. Don't concern yourself with setting, looks, but just focus on the… -
Multiple UV Map Question
So lets say I have a Static Mesh, we'll call it WallMesh. My UVs for the Diffuse Map are set up and utilize overlapping to get the most out of the texture. I also want an Ambient Occlusion map for the WallMesh, but can't use the same UV's because of the overlapping. So I create a second UV set in Maya, by copying the first… -
Re: Realistic Tropical Island - Aztlan -
Your shape doesn't match the reference photos. Try setting the model to wireframe only, or set it to See-Through mode (alt X), and make it match the reference images exactly. That will get you closer, but you will still need to judge it with an artistic eye to get a good likeness. Darren Pattenden's tutorial (2nd link I… -
Re: What's the purpose of Marmoset
Now, obviously my opinion is biased since I work at Marmoset, but I will give you the pitch. Marmoset Toolbag 2 is a real-time render which supports current physically based shading pipelines which many current game engines use. As has been mentioned, TB2 comes with presets to match the UE4 shaders, Dota 2 shader, and with… -
Re: Where do you get your textures
This + this + this + this + this = mountains of textures and reference. CGTextures is pretty good, but A LOT of people go there and its sad seeing the same textures pop up again and again. Personally I think everyone should build up a library of their own photos for textures and reference, especially environment artists.… -

Re: Vertex Colour Masks
I messed around with the idea of using deep EXRs (which i assume a cryptomatte is or it wouldn't work properly) to manage texture sets a few years ago and while it worked fine the additional overhead of processing and previewing the data - as well as maintaining any tooling - far outweighed the tiny benefit you get from… -
Re: LA Noire
Delivered any way you wanted it. We asked for the motion to be transferred to a fully rigged face bone based set up, that can be used in our low spec PC games. When I say low, I mean 1ghz, 256mb of ram, 32mb video card. They also offered to transfer the motion to the control board we typically use, but we wanted to see… -
Re: What Laptop Should I Get?
From my experience over the years, HP, Dell, and Toshiba are the ones to go with, in that order. Stay away from Sony, as well as a few others, who have proprietary hardware / software setups, as those tend to fail since they're so low-volume. Look into ram prices from places like NewEgg, as it may be a good choice to…
