I've heard it said before that you don't want seams in certain places on a mesh, by that I mean the UVs are apart. But I'm not sure if this is old advice from past workflows or if it really is something to be avoided. When I bake out normal maps and so on, everything appears to look fine. Maybe the mipmaps are affected?…
Hey everyone! Since my main experience is in Unreal, I wanted to diversify my portfolio by creating a scene in Unity and I thought whats better then a good old Dungeon scene :smiley: So far I have blocked out the environment and starting going through a first pass of art and pretty happy so far. For this I based it…
We're reconfiguring some of our space at work and they are thinking about putting some non artists in with the art team and moving some artists out of the old art department. Specifically the new non artists would go along windows that normally stay blacked out as artists currently occupy these spots. I was wondering how…
I've started a level design contest for the Source Engine using Wall Worm. 1st-3rd place will get various commercial Wall Worm plugins. First place gets a license of GrowFX from Exlevel. The initial contests are very simple too... this first contest doesn't even allow model assets or displacements (in terms of what Source…
Hey people! I was wondering if there is any practical way to delete or edit a poll that I created. Because yeah, I messed up when I created the poll for the character noob challenge few days ago... Setting the duration way too short and not being aware of the fact that those things aren't your usual forum material that you…
Decided to get back In to a bit of modeling and try and get myself reaquainted with UDK. So yesterday I started with a small project I've been avoiding, a Mirror's Edge style hallway. This time I've decided to stick with this perspective, to limit myself with the space I have, since I tend to get too carried away In trying…
It looks great, I'd say the folds on the shirt are a bit excessive and hard though, a shirt wouldn't look like that unless the folds had been meticulously ironed in. If realism isn't such a concern, I can understand that those kind of hard folds look cool and have impact but I'd still push them back and remove like half of…
Nope! I mentioned a few comments up that there's a silicon shortage going on. Prices are absolutely ridiculous. I could probably fetch near MSRP price for my 4 year old 1080Ti. Common advice at the moment, or so I've heard so far, is to buy a pre-built PC that has the GPU you want then take it out and put it in your main…
This slate is looking great, I think many similar slates will popup when Windows 8 is shipped next year. But at the moment this looks as it could be the best option for those that doesn't want to wait. Can you say anything about the heat emitted from it? Could it get too hot to have on your lap? (after hours of use in…
looks good overall, but as Ged mentioned, there is no focus. First thing that comes to mind is ray of light making the bright spot on the floor with some "special" prop. Is that going to be larger level or just this angle? It loks too uniform, at some point event ceiling and walls seem to use the same texture. Add more…
