For me day to day is pretty simple as a texture artist. Usually I start by checking e-mails since we outsource many of the props I want to keep track and see if the quality is up to snuff and comment on each one to go to the next step for example or tell them to tweak something. If something related to my level chunk is…
Gentlemen! After the immeasurable success of the XNA game Revenge of the Evil Aliens (over 99 sales in one month!) the production of a sequel is unavoidable. Unfortunately I feel that I have seen all that Google Image Search has to offer, as well as burning through most of my favours with friends and colleagues for the…
Hi guys,I'm having a huge problem with my monitor,so I was hoping that someone of you could help me out. The problem is,when I have a Gradient going on,let's say for example - the black to grey gradient of the background of 3ds max 2014 Perspective View - I have this nasty banding going on,where you pretty much can tell…
I've been assigned to work on a dungeon kit/tile set for Beyond Skyrim: Morrowind. I've been told that being good at kits will help in the job hunt (hint to all you recruiters in Vancouver ;) ), but also I won't just be seeing props I make in the upcoming Morrowind mod; I'll be seeing entire dungeons created from my art!

Photoshop has tools to correct lens distortion but it can be tricky to use. If you know what type of camera was used (doubt it) it has preset settings if not, then you can fiddle with the settings. Another pitfall of the beauty photo shoot is that they hardly ever take profile shots or perfectly frontal shots. Its normally…
Hey James The reason UE4 only lets you have up to 4 stationary lights in one area is because the shadows are being baked into a distance field shadow map and they only have four channels. That's the reason they only allow four in one area, the big red X that appears over the light when there's more than 4 stationary lights…
