Re: Alright, so I converted to Edit Poly before generating my UV's..
Looks like a perfect candidate for Spline Map Unwrap, too bad it was put in 09... You could probably snag the 09 demo, unwrap it, export as obj and then import back to 08 and keep working? Step 2: Try point to point seams, or make sure you're hitting "Edge Sel to PELT Seams". Either way they need to be blue seams not the… -
Re: Gentica 3.5 Seamless textures from photos
the brick distortion-fix thingy at the middle of the page was more impressive than the video, I watched the previous version's video too (http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/videos/gen3announce.htm) and I still have no idea what the process of making it tileable and seamless looks like... I assume then that it must be able to… -
Re: Dxt 5 to dxt1 without recompressing
oXYnary, actually it's funny I work for tiny company of 60 people now and our texture pipe is save psd, save dds through nvidia photoshop plugin. All the pipe does is look for a time stamp and copy the dds file to the xbox360. I find this method to be the most efficient in terms of time wasted after hitting the export… -
Re: Traditional Art Materials
You understood it correctly. For the sake of example; Take a medium tooth paper, roughly draw a sketch on it, than erase it, than draw it again, than erase it, than detail it out while erasing it. When you are done with your piece, lean back and see the sheet you are working on. The sheet will have that wavy curve to it,… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Bartosz Guder, environment artist
The presentation app will only do so much, Serp. It's not a magic "make awesome" method to use UDk or marmoset. I feel most of the props could benefit from a better specmap (seems very uniform, like there is barely any contrast in the specmaps). Same with your dirt/grunge in the diffuse: a bit uniform on many of the props.… -
Re: Catacomb
[ QUOTE ] i just want a simple yes/no really. [/ QUOTE ] I'm not in the industry yet either (and won't be for a while ) but I'd think the easiest way to find that out is a little self-critique. Look at the work of recently hired enviornment artists, and in commercial games, and decide for yourself how close you are. After… -
Re: A Scanner Darkly
some people in this thread are starting to sound like the people who think mocapping is like doing a push-button magic solution for animation yes, rotoscoping is "tracing," but i'm sure getting the results they have takes more than just running a filter, let's have some respect for other CG professionals definitely looking… -
Re: The "Cool things from GDC '08" thread.
[ QUOTE ] The APB looks amazing! and really excited about the deformable objects, think thats works so well with the barrels although there done to death like creates :P Like some of the element of the 'alone in the dark' but think they could have polished the tech demo a tad. Got some inative ideas [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I… -
Re: A History of Violence
Holy crap this movie was so good! The characters were super believeable. The director actually let me do some thinking without force feeding me every scenario and outcome. My one problem, and this wasn't really with the movie, but more with people. *spoiler* Why is it that people will behave the way the wife did? You find… -
Re: wip steve correl
I don't know if it's 'nice' as much as him likely just never having done anything with a mouse himself. Some nice artwork has been done with a mouse, and I know a lot of guys on here started out using only a mouse (back then even entry-level wacoms were a lot more expensive) --including me--, and I'm not lying if I say…
