Re: From photoshop CS5 to Gimp
Was messing around with GIMP myself there for a brief period... I tried to customize it as much as possible to match what I was used to in photoshop. It aloud me to do things quicker in GIMP, but there was still that off feeling and some missing features/abilities that photoshop has that I tend to use alot... Free… -
Re: What is working freelance like?
@Neox, I agree. Ideally speaking, studio experience is a better situation and environment to start one's career. I have seven years of studio gamedev experience and one year of simdev on-site work. If status salary or career highlights is my priority today yeah for sure I'd still be in an office doing the same old crunch… -
Re: tools you wish you had
I would like to have a free terrain editor which can use and produce heightmaps but also has a paint deformation feature like Zbrush, moving Vertices around with a transformation gizmo and smouth selection, local subdivision of selected polygons for more details, setting hard edges (smoothing groups), turning the terrain… -
Re: ::Fixing Texture Seams::
I do a lot of hard surface stuff, so a lot of my visible seams are typically going to be along a straight edge. I just take the "left" edge of the texture, dupe it, flip it, line it up over the right side, and then use free transform (squash/stretch it so it isn't a perfect mirror) and the eraser tool. But usually I tend… -
Re: Sketchbook: Jackwhat
Emil T_T It wasnt meant to be wang... it needs dewangifying. Sneeky, cheers dude! Probably shouldn't post these art tests up so soon but the email is sent so any (welcome) potential crits will be benefit my brainbox only! Was nice to invest a decent amount of time on these 2 images from supplied 3dbases and i've definately… -
Re: Gears of War 2
I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel, but I'd be more happy if it was a prequel, since I'm interested to see how you've handled the background of the whole Locust race, if it really is based on mythology as I'm guessing it is. The bad guys originally being humans, but transformed somehow into the creatures they are… -
Re: the A-TEAM!
I dunno, I absolutely loved the A-team as a kid and still get the theme stuck in my head once a week, but i caught a few episodes in the summer and it was just as awful as most expect any remake to be (despite one episode set on the same secret military island as transformers 2). when i say giddy i don't mean omg this iz… -
Re: Features for the website.
I want a constant costume party! Seriously, I like news section, showcase of the best artwork on Polycount. But most important is the 'feel' of Polycount. I don't post too much, but I'm a lurker since always. I always loved that Polycount is a place with twisted sense of humor, where everyone can talk, have fun and swear… -
[MAYA] Creating a normal map with rounded corners of a low poly model without baking high poly
I once used a script that transferred the selected edges and maya to photoshop, creating a ready-made normal map with rounded edges. Has anyone seen anything like this? (I tried Quixel Suite/nDo, but they didn't give me what I needed...) -
Re: Any way of moving texture islands with UV islands?
There's nothing that does this live afaik, but what you can do is transfer textures from an old UV to a new one. Designer has a baker for it, not sure about other software. https://support.allegorithmic.com/documentation/sddoc/transferred-texture-from-mesh-112853018.html Do note you'll encounter all the common resampling…
