You'll eventually get used to it but a book may accelerate the process. I read a book about ZBrush 3 by the same author and it helped me a lot: [ame="https://www.amazon.com/Introducing-ZBrush-4-Eric-Keller/dp/0470527641"]Introducing ZBrush 4: Eric Keller: 9780470527641: Amazon.com: Books[/ame] I don't know the answer to…
Use a modular workflow. http://wiki.polycount.net/CategoryEnvironmentModularity You certainly can use the same texture with different models, with each model having different extrusions. Make the extrusions match details in the tiled map, and don't stretch the pixels. Here's an example. All these models are different, but…
I might buy a 2nd generation Xbox One if it turns out to be worthwhile. Microsoft always has a shitty first run with their products. Most likely I won't even look at another Microsoft or Sony game product again by that point if Valve makes good on their Steam Box. One the plus side, it's x86 architecture, so even if we…
Arg my 2nd Elite (refubushed from M$) just keeled over (and a few months outside the 3 year warranty). Just as well, no more real exclusives I want to play anymore on it. Although I'm probably SOL for save games when the next Mass Effect comes out. Although using the "Pressure trick" seems to make it work for one session.…
Not majorly fussed about it - am looking more forward to Destiny, although I will say the visuals are stunning :) In regards to the comment about gamers being 'gamers', I wouldn't say I'm a hardcore gamer at all, I'll have a day or 2 where I session them and try to catch up (just finished the 2nd Uncharted and started the…
Vassago it was out in stores on the 12th...shipped to retail on the 11th. You should've been able to find it anywhere. There are 3 versions at retail, PC-CD ROM, PC-DVD ROM, PC-DVD ROM Collector's Edition in a Metal DVD case with some goodies and a 2nd disc with making of, dev diaries and art...also some vehicle flash…
Nah, no nudity, just influenced sex scenes and lots of action. Acting was ok, but nothing compares to as bad as ICE CUBE. If anything this movie will be funny to watch just for the ghetto slang of a US secret agent. They did the cool skate boarder style for the first movie and now there bringing the hood into the 2nd one.…
kary: Check out Devin Townsend's new album, Ki, if you haven't already. It's awesome. Nice and chilled with a few heavy bits here and there. He said somewhere in an interview (or on a blog) that he's been working on about 70 new tracks for the past 2 years, and he's planning to release them as a sequence of 4 themed albums…
love the colours in this :) adding the tower seems like a good idea, will give a focal point to the piece. Adding some loose rocks into the scene could break up the areas where it transitions from grass meshes to the path also in the 2nd shot the terrain is clipping through the bridge mesh, looks unnatural atm this tower…
really loving this so far. always a fan of modular work etc. Not long started using substance designer myself and really loving it! I'm guessing you're using the 2nd substance on a wall (with the dusty part of the wall) you could simply have it without the dust at the base like that and instead apply dust via decals. Just…
