Re: Alpha weirdness in Max 2010
Yeah, it's set up like that so you can use textures with alpha as "decals" - ie. use the cropping/placement/tiling values to just place a bitmap on a material, and show the base material underneath (eg. a textured TGA with alpha for a sticker applied on a procedural wooden base material). Means you can use the same UV… -
Re: Amazon Spent Big Bucks On Crytek's Engine
You are correct and I shouldn't have been so condescending. It is just a little sad and frustrating to see such a low standard of work and general apathy on the cryengine forums. For anyone visiting that forum who is new or considering using the software it is a very poor reflection of what cryengine is capable of. I have… -
Re: maya: select edges in crevices?

Re: Futuristic Sniper Rifle
+1-ing this also. Another thing that I would suggest is possibly having some sharper edges. In the concept, it looks like some of the edges aren't as soft or rounded as some that you have in your model. One thing that is throwing me off slightly is that some of the yellow stripe decals are missing, so the body of the gun… -

Re: How do I create this?
Picture is not loading for me. Edit: Ok, now I see it. I'm use to UE4, so my method would be: 1. Model out a road,sidewalk 2. Look into texture blending and decals 3. For the puddle, create a material with reflective properties 4. Create another material for just the road (i.e no reflections) 5. Use layered materials so… -
Re: Tire treads on Terrain
I think you mean splatmap, not splashmap. Tessellation like that is done dynamically at runtime, using a regular terrain grid (and regular grid UVs), but the tessellation is decreased with distance so you get decent performance. They write into a dynamic displacement map, using the tires as brushes. Looks like they're also… -
Re: Advice on a start up company.
Never work for free for someone else. If you're going to wind up in some sort of a "free for delayed potential payment" system, it has to be because you're an owner. If you're splitting all income from the game 33/33/33, and can afford to work for free on it, then that is something to consider. If a wage, and not… -
Re: Assassins Creed Black Flag Inspired Environment
Thanks carl, yea I agree with you some of the stuff looks a little clean. my process tends to revolve around getting a clean pass done first and then going in and adding all the dirt and wear etc. this will be done in the textures of the unique assets and for the more repetative stuff (crates and barrels) i will use vertex… -
Re: Top down ship shooter
Thanks for your comments people :D @Darkleopard: We already augmented a bit the size of the ships, but once I finish the environment I must tweak the color scheme of the enviro and the player ship to separate them a bit more. Just an update of the city, I added some more props and decals (ships are resized too) [ame=…
