Re: how manage mirrored normal maps
A normal map takes place in repair defined by the face normals and your UV's (the famous tangent space) So if you're uv's arent oriented the same way (here you have 90° or 180 rotations), the normal map patterns shouldn't have the same look. It also means that you can't simply rotate a normal map with the transform tool.… -
Re: Setting up Max for environment work - how do you approach it?
I completely disagree, you can find tons of studios who use a proprietary engine and do all the world building in their 3d package. If you're using UDK or source you wouldnt because those engines arent setup for that kind of pipeline. We use maya at work (however the same techniques apply to max as well), and the best… -
Re: the tools of the texture/shader artist trade
what you need to know as far as shader go really depends on the engine, like in the case of naughty dog yes they use hyperShade in maya to create there shaders, but most of the nodes there using arent default maya nodes, there nodes they created in maya to work with there game engine. for doing things like the texture… -
Re: [Portfolio] Zachary Winkler, Character Modeler
Some parts of the model and texture feel very empty/ rushed. Like you did an absolutely stellar job on the head, pretty good on the collar and then just gave up with the torso/ suit thing. It's important to have a good balance of detail and rest areas, which you're sorta doing, but i think you could add some more areas of… -

Re: don't know what direction to take with my portfolio
I feel I'm in the exact same boat as you. I'll never be a super-famous online artist unless I totally commit to a style/genre and become both prolific and the best at that one thing. That said, a breadth of knowledge across styles, techniques, engines, and disciplines can make you invaluable in a production. My personal… -
Re: GOD DAMMIT
Daz i can fully appreciate the situation of bikers, i know an awful lot of em and worked with many, all of which are great riders. But the people who fly past my house (which is a 30mph limit) and 60-90mph generally arent the safest of riders.. and i might be taking this the wrong way but you appear to be telling me its my… -
Re: [UDK] Overgrown Warehouse
One thing that bugs me is that all the shadows on the wall are identical from your roof panels. I would suggest like in your refrence of having one that is not damaged and one that is damaged. And that the damaged one might be two panels so that you can rotate it and get some variation out of it. Also i think that the…
