Re: Maya - XNormal - Handplane - Marmoset Toolbag 2 Workflow
Thanks Robin, I already read it, and if I understood, I chose to use an “Averaged projection mesh” workflow. Instead of setting all edges to soft, I set as hard edges the UV borders only. Yes, this creates some extreme gradients in the lowpoly shade and in the baked normal. But it looks perfect in Maya 2012, using the… -
Re: Autodesk software now free to students
This has been going on for a few years and is extremely clever marketing. You dont only get to use a few mainstream apps but the whole range. The idea is you can borrow the soft but you cant produce commercial work with the educational license. It takes quite a bit of effort to learn to use 3d software, the chances that… -
Re: Stephanie's game props
Your high poly models are definitely nice, but your low poly stuff still needs some work. For the upcomming next-gen stuff, don't worry about cutting too many corners to make a prop be under 2k. Your bumper car, for example, could use a lot more polies around the base. You're getting a lot of artifacting in your normal… -
Re: [Portfolio - Site] Lemmons
That intercom speaker has the best texture out of all the work. I'd move it up higher so that it's one of the first things people see. In general your UDK renders look the best out of the bunch. I think that's partially because of the contrast with the really clean and soft looking stuff where I'm sure the client isn't… -
Re: UDK - Glacier Crash
Thanks guys! Olli: Yeah I was using SSS on here. I got that look mainly from having a medium value, high gloss spec, a soft fresnel, and some parallax..which kinda makes everything look glazed over. I fiddled with the shader some more...I was mainly looking to get that translucent blue that you see in glacier walls a lot.… -
Re: Google's "Project Glass"
That's EXACTLY what I thought. Is this what normal people are like? do they insist on sharing with the world where they got an interesting cup of coffee? I'm socially retarded I guess, so I don't really get all this. To a much lesser extent with facebook and twitter as well. I just don't like the level of dependency with… -
Re: [MAXScript] Hiding faces on many objects under an Epoly mod
@PolyHertz Yes, like Juan said, I wanted to hide stuff in both modifiers with one script. I'm really curious though, since I've never ran across the need to do so making game art, at what times have you needed to hide verts? I can't think of a situation in which that'd be truly necessary, unless I was editing some really… -
Re: Old Fishing Bait Shop
It looks really good so far :) . You need to use some soft shapes to break the hard shillouettes of the model. Also the tree should be a center point with its tecturing, i can see really sharp looking liken and moss growing on the top side, with alphad go hanging off the bottom of it breaking shillouettes. For the bg, i… -
Re: Tyler Sorg's Art Depot
Looking good, but your silhouettes and forms often look vague, soft and kind of melty.(E.g. legs of the horse.) Some forms on the facehugger look a bit random, too. (For example the grooves on the legs.) Presentation is much better now, though I would separate the sideview of the jumping facehugger from the eggs. (Tail/egg… -
Re: Borneo Level Uncharted 2 Modularity? Discuss
If they were using SpeedTree, from what I recall, it has the option to create roots which automatically conform to the mesh it's on, so if they made that part of their pipeline, they could have had a very easy time with trees. Also, they're making good use of AO fades in the game to assemble things. If you notice, many…
