you shouldnt be getting close to EA, you should be getting as close to the actual car itself, I notice alot of cars in GT5, Forza 3/4 that are not accurate and look nasty, they will do but you shoudl always be pushing more accuracy and detail than in current gen games. you have a good start there but without more…

Well, here is my experience. I have lived in Dallas for 8 years and Seattle for 3. I think it would be a huge mistake for you to move to Dallas. If you have to ride your bike in Dallas, I hope you like getting hit by cars and heat stroke. Judging from other people I knew that communted by bike in Dallas, I think you would…
Do you feel the learning curve for all the new technology is too much for most designers to handle? I know there's tons of talent here at Polycount, but can most companies and designers keep up with the next gen of normal maps and other engine tricks? I remember a lot of amazing texture artists and stylistic people on the…
@Melazee Thank you for the kind comment and feedback! I love platformers too and working on this guy has been a blast! While I don't plan on rigging him myself, I want this character to be ready to go onto the next stage in a production pipeline so I have been building his low poly mesh to be ready for rigging. Basically…
Based on A_Bs approach i found a decent solution. I achieved the overlapping blades of grass effect using different shades of green in my „Lerp-Alpha-Texture“ (mine is white and green instead of green and white or black and white). :) I place flat square shaped models with a polycount of 4 and rotate them the way i need,…
I think what might kill 3d party support more is the idea of Nintendo pushing out 6 million+ units by the end of this year. (http://kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo/nintendo-exceeds-wii-production-expectations-205730.php) Best business decision* for third parties? Design for Wii, port to PS2: a) You get to cash in on the…
Thanks for the in-depth response Earthquake. The main reason that I have some of that as separate meshes is to save on texture space. I have lots of stuff mirrored to save on texture space. Some sides can't be mirrored because they have unique details so I thought I should have them floating instead of connecting. But I am…
Sorry damn work keeps getting in the way! ha. Doing some tests and kinda got what I wanted working, tried the IF node, didnt get that working, possibly inputting things wrong? Not sure. So the issue I am having with the first image is that although the sand is fully covering up the stone tiles when it is blending and its…
