Re: Texture WIP C&C - Barrel
Are you planning on using a spec and normal map? If so, get rid of those painted in ridge shadows and leave that to your normal. As well, think about some function, is there a pour spout? Can the top come off? If so, model and texture in these details. Specifically, if the top comes off, I'd expect to see some structure in… -
Re: Max to Maya: Help Make It Easier
Well you can just select the shells you want and the scale tool will scale them all the same amount. If you want to get all your shells to have roughly the same texel density you can use the layout function in the polygon menu in the UV editor, or personally I use a free plug in called UV Deluxe. -
Re: ChronoTrigger homage.
Well right now im aiming to complete a scene and see where i go from there. What i wold like to do atm is make it into a fully functional demo. Altho im not fully sure if im capable of that level of devotement. Will be using UDK for the buildup, am currently searching for a nice texturing style that should fit the 3D… -
Re: What's the best way to compress and show technical videos in your website?
PolyBoost has those tiny animated gif to remind what each tool do, but you hardly get the behaviour of every key combination (they're a lot in PB) and functions. I'd like something more placid and informative, like old IC.Shape videos or current IC.Tools. I'm afraid such gifs would start to grow a little too much. -
Re: PSP Price set $250/games $40-50, your thoughts?
What concerns me about the Psp is the price and durability. the screen has no cover,it works on a drive system like a cd,stationary thats fine but on a portable how long will that drive remain functioning after a little wear and tear. then theres the weak battery life and 250$ price im afraid to buy one based on how… -
Re: Mudbox 2009 announced
here you are ;) http://www.topogun.com/ "TopoGun 1.3 beta has some powerful features, such as the maps baking and highres mesh recovery extensions. Have a look at the next video and watch the process of creating a fully functional Mudbox scene from a very lowpoly retopologized cage and a highres reference mesh." To come… -
Re: 2028 Russia (level design, models etc)
Can you talk about the gameplay? How will it be like? Personally I'd hope something relatively realistic, considering the game world looks so realistic. So no crosshairs or anything like that, proper weapon functionality and damage, realistic player movement (I think Crysis had good player movement) so that you can't… -
Re: 2 UV channel problem (possible corrupt UVs :( )
thanks for the help guys, I think i've got my head around it now, I got the light map directx shader working and it all appears fine in viewport, seems like this function could be made a lot less confusing if there was just a simple tab or something in the UV editor to select UVs, e.g; UV1, UV2, etc... cheers! -
Re: Mudbox pricing and release date
It's also much faster and easier for people to learn than ZBrush, has more sculpting/displacement/normalmap features, and doesn't have a silly "tool" and "canvas" setup. Admittedly, ZBrush does have way more features (actual painting, tiling texture stuff, rendering, posing etc.), but it still can't possibly win on… -
Re: so...
Except everybody would have to model characters fitting the specs and proportions of the original models, or animate from scratch. Don't get me wrong, it would be awesome, I just don't think having technical character import issues along with the need for a functional rig and animations is going to attract a large crowd,…
