Re: Ubuntu 6.10 out!
[ QUOTE ] I know hardley anything about linux, but is there a way to use windows based software on it? [/ QUOTE ] Why would you want to? There is much better software available for Linux! (and most of it is free too) But WINE (a compatibility layer) works pretty well these days for many programs, and with the new… -
Re: Texture artist looking for home
Shotgun, You've done some really good work here. Honestly, the most I could suggest to round off your 2d portfolio is maybe a couple things. 1) Show something more than characters. Environment concept art is a good example of something that might help. 2) I'd also show texture sheets broken into their normal/color/specular… -
Re: character model wip (help needed!)
I like the concept, and your model uses polygons wisely. Your loop flow, however could use some work. They're pretty jagged for an organic character. Also, it's a game model, but is it supposed to be for current or next gen? And something I keep hearing from professionals ( I'm a professional, but a QA one, lol ) is to use… -
Re: Dawn of War Fan Art
Warhammer has such a special place in my heart. Ah I actually prefer DoW 2 visually without a doubt but DoW 1 game play is what really sells it for me personally. See i thought about making a DoW 2 gen at first as your right its much more developed but could not resist the call of the 'classic' generator lol. Thanks for… -
Re: Showreel Piece
I wouldn't worry about the lighting at this point but rather nailing down the models. I'm seeing dome really simple blocks in the background which need to be addressed. The scene in gerenal has a "last gen" fell witht he amount of polygonal detail. The wood pieces can still definitely use more polys. You have the meters… -
Re: Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord
What kind of texturing style are you going for with this? If you want something stylized that will look nice even when it's under very flat lighting, keep going as you are. If you want it to be a bit more in line with current-gen workflows, though, I'd suggest removing that lighting info from your albedo so you can let… -
Re: Less Vertices or Smaller Textures???
warby: I think his friend means that if you're using texture atlassing as well as wanting tiling textures, the only way to achieve it is by using more polygons. Imagine a quad that had a texture tiled in 4x2 grid. To do that with an atlassed texture, you'd need to cut the quad into 8 separate quads and UV each of the tiles… -
Re: [UDK] Medieval City
One crit I noticed from your breakdown is you nailed a texel density fairly consistently across the scene. But the numbers you listed are pretty small, on a current gen console I would aim for around 512 pixels for 2-3 meters for a first person shooter. Currently if you compare your main columns to the size of a human.… -
Re: Bungie's Destiny - Art Dump
We use a traditional pipeline, nothing fancy, just the typical realtime stuff from last gen basically. The sun and time-of-day cycle was typically handled by skybox team, while the local gameplay-space lighting was done by the lighting team. We focused on always having gradients of color where we could to get a appealing… -
Re: Personal Work
Hey all another study about 30-40 hrs I think, most of which where messing around with different modeling stuff. Used Zbrush to help make some break up patterns for th shaders which where primary procedural lol Also used it to gen some basic form and tweak some of the mech stuff. This was also a fun way to test max's…
