Re: Game character
yeap like everyone said- spec map needs some lovin. also I`m not sure about 12800 tris. Seems a bit steep but I could be wrong. I know charachters in UT3 run the 6000-8000 range it seems as if thats as "next gen" as it gets right now. I`d say on your next project try a nd hit a lower poly count. Super kickass otherwise.… -
Re: Honda S2000
The density of the mesh in some places and especially that boot would be making the body near impossible to work with effectively. It will be easier to point out trouble areas if you post a smooth shaded view. Why do you have uneven subdivisions around the tyres? *Spanks you* You can treat the tyre and the rim as separate… -
Re: Detail Maps..?
Typically a detail map is a smaller texture (say 256x256) that tiles hard across the surface of your model with a high texel density. They are used in next gen-shaders togheter with a bigger size diffuse or color map for variation. u blend the two textures togheter in the shader (say multiply the diffuse on the detail)… -
Re: MOVIE: The Hurt Locker
So I finally caught this yesterday, and I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed. I was hoping for something more like Blackhawk Down or Generation Kill. And I do NOT mean more action. Throughout the whole movie, I didn't give a shit about any of the characters. BHD which had like, 3 times the # of main characters, was… -
Re: Simulator Sickness?
Generally speaking, watching someone else play an FPS for any length of time would make me ill. I used to get sick during Quake 2 level reviews back at id and would need a strong dose of pepto-bismol to recover. I think it may be related to why some people get sick in the back seat of cars, but are OK if they are driving.… -
Re: New video tutorial site - 3dmotive.com
Awesome videos. I must admit I only checked out the free ones but it is a breath of fresh air to have some genuinely professional tutorials for topics geared specifically for games. Thanks for your efforts in providing this! I have a suggestion if you're taking feedback on future possibilities? How about trees for current… -
Re: Motivates/Motivated
+1 I feel like you crazy gaming peoples are the peoples I belong around. Other jobs/places... eh, the people aren't so great. Its also that to my core I'm an artist, and there's no way I can be satisfied with life if I ignore that part of me. When I was in grade 7 and 8, I watched my friend draw all the time, and something… -
Re: Onlive: Video Game Cloud (PC/Console Obsolete?)
it's certainly an interesting concept, but no matter how it progresses I don't think it will ever completely replace owning a home pc. I mean, obviously games will most likely go digital distribution soon (keeps seeming harder considering next gen games will probably be like 80 gigs), but even by then bandwidth should be… -
Re: help pick out my 'best' work
11, 12, 19 are the best looking, most complete pieces on this list. Though 21 doesn't appear to be textured, it's shown in-game, and I'd probably include it. You could maybe pull off 35-47 as one collage or scene. Overall, you could focus more one full modeled, textured, and rendering in-game art. Now if you're looking for… -
Re: Watchtower WIP
it's completely possible to make tileable normal maps, and it's pretty dang easy too... you simply model your square texture in max/maya whatever, then you can either normal map it to a plane, or use doom3 to generate a flat normal map (which works quite well IMO) then you can use nvidia's PS plugin to add finer details. I…
