Re: What is everyone's methods for baking/cage editing these days?
Substance Designer Match by name + cageless baking = insane amount of time saved on complex weapons. I think just in the studio I probably spend 1/4 to 1/2 the amount of time spent by others depending on the asset. Revisions are also much quicker. I wish I could record a video showing the process but free time has been… -
Re: Victor-Ryan Character Model - WIP
Thats solid looking. How many sides are there on the leg? I think I counted about 12, but it's hard to tell. To be honest, for the overal polygon density of the model, any more that 8 sides on a limb is probably overkill. He might be a bit knockkneed. One thing you will want to do is to creep the deltoids further down the… -
Re: Room WIP.
cool, thanks guys. Vassago, I know what you mean man, I was just commenting on how I would rather do it the way you explained the, right way, rather than some other second rate method.I should have rephrased my comment there sorry. here's the start for the walls. I'll have 2 maps at 256 for the walls, 1 corner piece and 1… -
Re: Deliciously intense drinks?
Rhino - I used to do that with peanuts as well, but with Coke. Cain, try a Starbucks double shot with a dash of cayenne pepper. Just be sure not to use a lot.. The pepper inhances the flavor of the coffee, and the cold coffee negates the burning flesh from the cayenne. A redbull sour is also good (a take on the common… -

Re: 8 questions about Maya
+1 for video examples, very helpful! I'll be calling out the marking menu options here. 1) Break is called Detach Component, can be used on face/edge/vert. Shift+RMB (in the lower menu) 2) Yes. q, w, e, r + lmb is the marking menu for each of these tools, it's common to go between world and local coordinates this way, or… -
Re: Way early stages of a project, planning out UDK scale metrics
@Adam, I think you're right 8:1 is probably more in keeping with games today and especially the next round of hardware which artists should prepare for now. With 8:1 you just need to be mindful of the dreaded down resing (at least in production). Don't draw 1px lines or use tiny fonts on a larger sheet that might be cut… -
Re: moving and working
beartraps, I just sold all my shit back in Australia (house included) to move to the United States to find work. Don't get me wrong, it's been fun and I'm glad I'm here. But it has in no way helped me find work. Sure, I haven't applied for a single job yet as I'm working on my folio, but I could have done all of this back… -
Re: Product Viz - normal shading problem
Your flat normal value tests are wrong. Normals are in 1,-1 range so the vector should be 0,0,1 to represent flat normals. Would you mind opening up the normal map texture inside unreal engine and showing a screenshot from it and from its settings? Its probably just some checkbox or compression setting needed to be set… -
