Re: Tech primer for real-time 3D artists?
this sounds great. i've read those two articles before and the glossary on your webpage, and i've been interested in reading more info like that. ben cloward's website has some good tech info too. i really liked his explanation of normal mapping. http://www.bencloward.com/tutorials_normal_maps1.shtml -

Re: Sleep apnea...
I hate sleep apnea and paralysis, it's freaky as hell! Yet if I have sleep apnea I guess that's because of the strong tongue factor - which girls like. I somehow enjoy the hypnic jerk thing tho. Maybe because of that strange feeling of being at the edge right inbetween two worlds... -
Re: UVs splitted by material, because of shaders? (Realtime)
UV splitting isn't the same as having two materials in most engines. Two materials draw as two different drawcalls. But a single material , even with UV splits, draws as one drawcall. One drawcall is usually cheaper than two. For an object like a character it's often ok to have 3-4 drawcalls though. Because you're not… -
Re: Getting the most out of channels
DXT1 compression uses 2 bits per pixel giving 3 colours, now only two colours are stored the other two are generated. The colours are stored in 565 format. The other two colours are generated from the stored two colours C0 and C1. usually C0 is > C1. For textures with alpha C0 can be < C1 in this case you only have C2 as… -

It (hopefully) gives the impression that the two are part of a pair that are even but rotated together around the same point instead of two individual circles placed at different heights. Imagine taking two balls and putting them side by side on the… -
Re: Blizzard inspired WIP props/assets
If you put the treads in the textures going from one end of the texture to the other, in Unity (for example) you can set up two materials and just pan the one material that's applied to the treads for animation. This means the treads can still take up a band of space in the whole texture for the tank and still be animated.… -
3December - EnDrX
Hi! Here is my first props for the 3December. I'm late......It took me too much time..... Maybe 10h or 12h on two days :/ I'll never imagine how beneficial this 3December would be to learn how to estimate and manage my time! Next props will be simpler! : D Thanks to Betty Jiang for his wesome concept… -
job interview, 2-3 hours, why so long?
Hi guys, I have a job interview in two weeks , and I've been told it would take around 2-3 hours.. I am really wondering if we will only talk or if there will be some kind of tests too (they didn't ask me to do any art test).. Did you have such an experience before? -
Re: shelter game environment art
Hi Omar! I've got a fair amount of feedback for you which hopefully will be helpful. I'm certainly not a professional so I can't provide a real expert opinion but I have studied quite a bit and I can share my thoughts on a peer-review level. I'm not sure where in the process you are on this scene so I'm just going to list…
