Re: Unity Level Design Question
More pieces = more drawcalls = more time on GPU = lower frame rate. Depending on what platform you intend to make your game on, you may be able to get away with lots of individual pieces. But, on a mobile iOS game you would probably want to weld everything together as much as possible. Don't aim for perfection, but try and… -
Re: "Overwatch HQ" - Long-Term Environment Working Thread [UE4]
@Lucas Annunziata Thank you! I love your stuff, gorgeous fantasy-Arabian nights work. Bloom! This is a great topic. I'm assuming you mean I should pump it up throughout the piece? Or specifically in that concrete image? I have bloom in the post, but I also have a really hazy, wide lens flare bokeh texture to cloud the… -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
A really simple explanation of modularity is just using one piece as many times as possible. For an ai you can use one body, but have pieces of armor to make many ai from it. For a building you can make a wall section. Then make a copy and add a window. Since the first wall is already uv mapped and textured you save time.… -
Re: [UE4] Modern Japanese School
Yeah pretty much this. I mean yours are basicly consisting of windows and doors with almost chrome levels of steel. Usually they got doors with thin steel frames (brown) at the teacher podium and the back of the classroom and inbetween a wall, there are usually no windows to the floors (well depending on school ofcourse).… -
Re: Art test for Nintendo Wii
i'd be careful with polys for characters. as i said, you have to skin all those vertices and if you have 3500 verts + 10*1500 verts for some enemies, you have 19k skinned verts. you need to process those every frame(and we love 60 frame games ;) ). i think your engine could get problems. mario in galaxy has about 5k polys,… -
Re: Buy Nothing Day 2009
Again this just falls back into the whole "preaching to the choir" point i made earlier. I'm not suggesting that you can simply "rebrand" the day, because the skapegoating of black friday is flawed, it has less to do with anything retailers do any more to do with the insanity of your every day consumer that creates the… -
Re: New here, and a project that needs help
hey andy, welcome to the forums. ok, do me a favor, and squint while looking at it, it all bleeds together, you need some sort of light dark pattern to lead the eye around. try making the feet dark, the legs a medium, and the core a lighter color. i would keep the green you have as the lightest shade though. then maybe go… -
Re: super epic art tests
When I was looking for work after gearbox laid me off, I did a lot of art tests. They ranged betweem 1-2 weeks in varying complexity, Naught Dog's was the most complicated and time restrictive. I gave up sleep, time with family so that I could show every company how passionate and determined I was in that time frame. Of… -
Re: 3ds max as a level editor
Create models in separate files, or grouped together in a file, whichever's easiest. Characters in separate files, props together, ground tiles together. Script tool creates proxy of a model, which we then merge and arrange into a master game layout file. Any objects that have behaviors or animation or any kind of change… -
Re: Two Really annoying maya things I never found answer for
I've been using Maya since version 1 (toots my own horn) and just belately upgraded to 8.5 and experienced this issue. Just to restate the problem in my own words: After framing the Maya persp camera around a selected object (by hitting "F" on the keyboard) the camera tumbles around a center of interest that seems offset…
