Re: Tutorials, Guides and Resources for Dota2 Workshop
@slosh I am not an maya expert, but using directional light, or point light placed high above model should work for this. If not you can bake object space normal map and one of the channels will be representation of top-down lightning (don't remember which R, B or G ^^'). -
Re: Student Seeing Portfolio Review for 3D Artist Position in Games
I was curious as to why you were listing time spent on each asset. A) Just seems like unnecessary info. B) The time spent seems awfully short for each asset. I would imagine a portfolio piece would take way more than 5 hours. -
Re: Normal map to vertex normals?
Aha, so via the Paint Vertex Color Tool, we can apply a texture map as vertex colors, which can then be queried with "polyColorPerVertex -q -r -g -b", and written as normals via "polyNormalPerVertex -xyz". I'll try to write a script to write the colors to normals in the morning. -
Re: Piracy Facts
Hehe, the best part about this: A. Ninja's actually does make DRM free games. B. I've seen his massive pile of legitimate content creation software that he actually paid for. I hope you guys see the irony in going after him for being a "hypocrite". -

Re: Weekly Recap
That armor looks pretty impossible to be *in game* used. it's a grand design, but that's gotta hit at least a million or so if at the least 700,000 polys. its bump mapping is what tricks the eye into thinking its high def that way you can make low poly model look b@a. -
Re: Do any of you guys create 3D purely as a hobby or do work outside of games?
My main job is that i run a network security company, I do 3d/art for fun and fun projects on the side. I don't think I could do it as a job a) because im no where good enough and b) I'd end up hating it i think. -
Re: World War Z trailer
they should have made World War B. instead of zombies, it's bunnies. theres this Japanese island that used to be a chemical warfare lab, and now its overrun with bunnies, they could mutate, become super aggressive and go all CG on us. bunnies would look better as a particle effect -
Re: [UE4] - Live Audio Venue
Looks good! Not sure how close you want to be able to get the the board, but could probably cut back a bit by getting rid of the screws and the lights and adding that detail in the maps instead. Not sure if that's something you care about so much for this. But looks pretty sweet otherwise. B) -
Re: Wavy Normal Maps
Yep, what app? What does your cage look like if you're using one? Try turning down the ray projection distance if you're not using a cage. Also... it never hurts to check the wiki... http://wiki.polycount.com/NormalMap?highlight=%28\bCategoryTexturing\b%29#Solving_Wavy_Lines
