Re: Looking for 3D artists, level designers and pipeline devs for information about Production Pipelines
With 3-6 people you don't need anything complicated, so here's a list of strategies/thinking points I've picked up over the years Rigidly enforce naming conventions, scene structure standards and correct use of source control. If you document nothing else, document this. Set things up so you can guess at the location of… -
Re: Where to find environment concepts?
This is a dream collection. It physically hurts how awesome it is. It has 7 titles that I'm aware of, but that photo below only shows 6. Haikei Gashuu Kusanagi Literally, "the Kusanagi books of background art." It's a book series. The name in kanji is 背景画集 草薙. Amazon.jp Search (entire collection) Contains environment… -
Re: ID Link Editor - Custom preset Materials
Thank you for the info teddybergsman, keep up the good work! Anyway I'm not sure we have understood everything :) Will the 1.4 release be available before beta closes? I think it won't... This workflow is really important for us, it would be nice if we can see it working before Beta ends. I can't understand this point:… -
Re: Comics/Mangas/Manhwas/Manhuas etc - Reading/Read
Here's another: Do you like dogs AND hellboy? Here's a bunch of dogs (and a cat) solving supernatural mysteries in their neighborhood.

Re: Zynga, Nimblebit, and Tiny Tower
It's supposed to be a question, because their stance is considerably more defensive than anyone else in this thread. Knowing what direction someone is coming from makes a significant difference to how you recieve their argument, does it not? In a debate over which car to buy, you might weight someone's argument differently… -
Re: Compression formats
Thanks wes. From what I've read, that makes sense. 2 channels at better compression. One thing I haven't concluded is whether the Uasset file size is representative of performance gain, as far as changing the compression is concerned. The asset has a source path to the original texture, but it is only there as a way to… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
Sprunghunt: Just to clarify, I wasnt saying that I want more duplicates of brink, or duplicates of TF2 or mirrors edge - in fact i hope that there isnt any. I do consider the art directions of those games unique, and innovative- Why ? Because they simply stand out from the throng of whats out there now. And by that you… -
Re: In dire need of Critiques!
@DanglinBob Ahh yeah the names, well 'lazy' because sometimes artists procrastinate doing anything art related or put things off to help themselves improve. 'Vex' was the best word that was small enough to explain an artists distress/trouble/worry/anger. The containment is almost like the inside of our brain, having our… -
Re: [Maya] dDo Material Manager v2
Thanks for the feedback guys. Yeah I didn't want to deal with the headache of figuring out how to implement a search field. I don't think I have the time right now either :/ Ideally it would be nice for the indicators to update instantly, but as far as I know that requires the window to be reloaded/redrawn which could get… -
Re: Recommended software for baking normals/ambient occlusion maps?
Hi, It depends on where you are going to render / view the normal map. From https://www.marmoset.co/posts/toolbag-baking-tutorial/ "Most systems that render with normal maps make use of a tangent space, which is a system of coordinates that specifies the orientation of the surface at each point on the model. Tangent spaces…
