Reusing shapes from NDO to make DDO color ID shapes
Is there a nice workflow to take some of the shapes I created in NDO to reuse in DDO? At the moment, paths, for example, get destroyed when I convert a path to a layer. I'd want to take that path I just created and reuse that work to help me create a shape in my color id map to give that area a different color. This would… -
How To Make Super Clean UV Texture Maps?
I've been searching for months now to help me answer this question, which leads me to believe I'm probably overthinking it, but since it still bugs me, I wanted to ask here. How do you guys make such super clean UV Texture Maps? You guys post these awesome texture files where everything is laid out nicely next to each… -

Re: Any Other "Big" Engines Comin'
Tan... I really wish I could find a link definitively saying the Fox engine will have a indie/subscription/educational release. Have u found anything? Also... Major face-palm to all the noise second guessing yer GI aspirations. I remember the same scanline is more than enuff... No need for GI when it all can be faked… -
Re: Crowd Funding, i.e. My Woes With it
Not necessarily just about brink but worth noting that in general most multiplayer focused games will bomb if they don't go F2P (I suspect brink will be the last big commercial example of this), even if they do go F2P they will usually still bomb if they aren't well promoted. Multiplayer games centralize around a catch 22,… -
Re: Creating a Modular Weapon Pipeline
My colleague Ben Garnell, who also worked on some borderlands 2 stuff said that was all just flat faces where different parts met, didn't sound too complicated (but that's just hearsay). I think if you want to mix a lot of crazy, very different guns, it's the only way. it just gets too hard to combine otherwise. We did… -
Re: Horror gameplay perspective
A counterpoint to the theory that scary works best with what you don't see , is that I think it could also be what you can see but don't undertstand, and what you've seen before and now don't. What you can see but don't understand. This is easy because since most games let you fight your monsters you get to see them… -
Re: Hatred and you!
ferg-- Thanks! and thanks for that great responce. I do think we may have a slight failure of communication however.. I agree with what you said about not us not quite knowing how to "get emotional" about games, but to a certain extent. it's extremely rare that i see content that's not stereotyped. After playing games my… -
Re: Portfolio Review and Advice
Ok, as promised, here is a little bundle of Lighting/composition hints which you could apply in your future scenes. PART1 As I've mentioned, PBR is a new trend and while it is cool thing, the aesthetics foundation didn't go anywhere, and nice lighting may be done well no matter the generation of engines or hardware... The… -
Re: Creating skies for UE4 inside of Maya?
Dynamic sky materials are partly procedural. The easiest method is to have a few masks for stars, sun, moon etc. Atmosphere gradient can be done with masking out a channel of the UV texture coordinate, that would give you "from top to bottom gradient" that you can color with a lerp. The sky hemisphere mesh should have 2…
