Re: Why can't I get a seamless lightmap even with the most simple geometry?
Lightmaps are, and always have been, a nightmare. Sometimes it doesn't seem to matter if everything is set up 100% correct and optimal for lightmaps..........artifacts still remain. Thankfully, this horrible aspect of the workflow is on the way out. UE4 just keeps pushing its dynamic lighting quality more and more. DFAO,… -
Re: Intuos to Cintiq
You're not going to be doing any drawing on your laptop in a bus with a regular Cintiq. Pretty sure those things need to be plugged into a power source. Cintiq Companion's what you want. I have no problems with mine, though it took a month to really get acclimated to it. Didn't really start feeling productive until I got a… -
Re: Need advice on normal baking an airplane
What part of the high-poly did you model? Round edges or all of the paneling details? I'd personally avoid creating a high-poly bake for aircraft - they're very organic surfaces with hard-surfacing mixed in, making it difficult to get a noticeable bake. Something you might want to try would be to use the custom vertex… -
Re: What is wrong with this Normalmap? (purple) 3ds max
F**K YEAH!!! I managed to solve it! :D sorry im just so happy was close to go really mad, and reinstall 3ds max etc. Yeah I have done it now with XNormals and tested on other models (just a two planes with one of them including small detail) but I got the same result of having my model in the nomalsmap. Then thanks to you… -
Re: WIP - Hand Painted Texturing
Vcortis - Thanks! I agree about the highlights. I think I pushed the contrast a bit too much and killed the little gradations I was working on. I'll pull it back and give the the white line tip a shot. Makes a lot of sense. Acumen - Many thanks for the links! I can see what you're talking about things being too clean. I'm… -

Re: questions about MODs in general
imo - go for it, at least you can learn how to make your artsets showing up and working well - within the art of other designers. Communication is difficult - a chatroom without all people working on that thing is ... you know and i would look more for a solid design doc rather than another "good story". If the mod takes… -

Re: Low-poly modelling intended for handheld games.
@Patackular You could shave a lot of tris off by changing that green blob's minigun so that there would be only one big cylinder instead of 6. You could then texture that big cylinder to look like it had 6 barrels and it'd work perfectly, because you can't really tell the difference from such a small screen. And the second… -
Re: April 1 is right around the corner
Getting close to CET zero hour, when the fairy godmother has to repossess the pumpkin. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we're using forum software that doesn't support alternate theming. It's all or nothing folks. We could upgrade to the latest forum software, but their new theming system is really terrible. We'd have a ton…
