so got the retopo done with a mixture of Topogun and 3dsmax. The UV's as usual were a little tedious especially the packing which always take a while. The baking was going to be done Substance but then after getting the latest update it was being a pain saying something about Nodes and using too many licenses or whatever.…
It has been a while. I have been working on the mockup of the model. He is now rigged with bones and can transform to all three different states. I havent done the hands yet and neither the landing gears. I am quite happy with the result. It has sure been a bit tricky to get everything to work. Next step will be to finish…
In this context I believe Substance is the most appropriate. 1 - Since you only tweak your characters properties a few times in the life of a game, this means most of the time the texture will be static. Therefore doing it via Substance instead of a shader will be better in the long term. Once the texture is done, you can…
At the moment I follow along with the tutorial whilst also taking notes. The notes I take are usually because the tutorial is an older version of Maya and so sometimes the buttons they use are located somewhere else or have been renamed so I have to jot down the new way of doing the same thing so I can remember later on.…
They do some great stuff in Pandaria for Cooking and Fishing making leveling those secondary professions fun. Cooking can all be done at 90 from 1-600 at the Farm. Lots of tradeskill items are +5 points or +3 points instead of the normal +1. Fishing can be done anywhere in the world as well, zones no longer have fishing…
I had added a linear profile. Its still bright Your link seems to be about up sampling up versus down sampling. So I make the color profile linear Assign to the exr (I cant convert). Downsample the exr... BUT I the the HDR Toning PopUp doing such.* I assume I set it to exposure and gamma. Touch nothing Then I convert it to…
B2M is pretty cheap if you are not using it for commercial purposes. $49 on steam. That said you still have access to Map Zone, which is pretty much where B2M and Substance Designer started. It's free btw. http://www.mapzoneeditor.com/ Krita is a free open source painting and texturing application thats gaining ground.…
Cholden: I got this from you via a PM. Downloaded and played it, and here is my unfiltered criticism. Pretty weird dude. I can kinda sense what you're going for it seems. Somewhere in the same neighborhood as the Penumbra games, Silent Hill or Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Its definitely an accomplishment to have done it all…
A Del Toro Hobbit could have been interesting, but I'm not sure whether we would have got 'good' Guillermo (Pan's Labyrinth, Devil's Backbone) or 'bad' Del Toro (Hellboy 1+2). I kind of feel like in the more mainstream films he's done that his visual style (as accomplished as it is) has gotten in the way of telling a…
Thanks guys! I really appreciate your advice! As for the pink leaves, I've tried, and Vue is being really dumb. So, I went with a more autumn-ish approach. I can garantee you that I will be bringing this into UDK. With everything done by me. Basically the only thing that wasn't done by me are the trees. So those will be…
