That's a curious thing. People would pay $50 ~ $250 monthly in YoVille, a 2D social game on Facebook, because they've become emotionally attached to the whole virtual community. You can read about this in here:…
Thanks Vcortis for the details advice. For some reason my Photoshop map got corrupted :( I tried opening and it said "Not a vaild photoshop format" or something like that :/ but this was good training in any case, heck I will probably paint it again when I get my tablet (should get it either Monday or Tuesday in mail I…
dialate would be the creature that cpt swing is refering too, I use it a fair bit at work. Beyond that if the object compliments it thene there is no problem with going rectangular on the maps....512x1024 for instance, which could save on your texture space. edit* aww balls beaten byace-angel...well thems the breaks :D
Over the last days I recieved a lot of feedback for this and I'm thinking how to improve it. I think I should make more basics hand painted textures before coming back to this one. My plan is to do several 512x512 handpainted texture examples to get used to the basic stuff (like lightning, forms and different spec levels).…
Yeah its possible. Most building LODS use the same textures actually. it'll mip down to a smaller size anyway. For stuff that's ALWAYS going to be in the distance though, like epic distance stuff, you might find that you can get better/sharper results by handmaking something smaller for it. Mipping does introduce…
6 core might work at 512 bucks. Looks like gpu is 490 or so. I see where the money goes! Does nvidia have less issue than ATI with realtime graphics in the programs? Lian li. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112366 That's nice looking but no pics of the interior. Sounds like there might be a problem…
Darksiders styled art tends to be heavily diffuse-powered. Id say if you want to use a photo to get the gritty details, I'd get rid of a lot of the noise and focus on getting large, readable shapes. What your wall is missing is the "I'M A FUCKING WALL" that is present in darksiders walls. Your sculpt seems like it had very…
Hey cman2k, thanks for the response. I was just playing with Mental Ray and it does make a big difference. I cranked up FG and turned on GI and the scene was a little dark but very crisp. Flatiron is a pos in my opinion. It's fast but sloppy as hell. I need to do the entire scene into a 512*512 lightmap and I'm having a…
High Poly renders from 3ds max with the background set to 51,51,51 Just about anything rendered in Marmoset characters using Xoliu shader The way the Cryengine 2 handles lighting The Intuos 4 and the New Bamboo connect (That square design is <3 ) Almost perfectly rounded Boobs
