Hi Halasi, I really appreciate your critique. I am going to try tiling in this project - it was my plan from the beginning. However, I must say that the whole topic of tileable textures confuses me immensely even after having done much research on it. So if I am going about uv layout incorrectly or anything it is because I…
[ QUOTE ] lol... well i wouldn't say its good or bad, it certainly works well for them. but it just goes to show that there are many different ways of doing things and its not all about normal maps. [/ QUOTE ] To elaborate on what you said, I ve seen a convention on next gen shader techniques (Farcry 2)and there are two…
Hi all, trying to improve my understanding of texel density I come across this article https://80.lv/articles/textel-density-tutorial/ Textools method and manual scale method is what I am having dificulty with as you can see in image below. I even made texture with TD spec in Photoshop. *4 meter wall in background has 1024…
If you don't know anything about webdesign, its best just to do something like this, http://adambromell.com/ and spend the rest of your time improving your game art skills.

Last go I think. Want to go back and do some characters: BTW, This UDK kit has some really nice looking maps. Especially the re-vamp of DM-Deck. I've managed to cut the polycount down to 750 triangles and also decided to reduce the texture size to 256*256. Increasing the brightness and changing the hue of the side…
there are a few ways of doing it. you can start with a larger texture and have and are in the center be the size of the final texture. then bring in parts of the texture into separate layers. then blend those layers together. you can use a layer mask or eraser to get rid of seams and stuff like that. change the flow…
Somehow that's a funny question, but i guess uv are not that intuitive. Well we need a support for storing the color data, right ? Something like a pixel grid ! What about a 3d grid of pixels ? (aka voxels) 3d textures exist. A 256pixels 3d texture is basically 256 2d textures of 256*256 pixels. 256*256*256 is a lot of…
Hey there! My name is Millan Singh, and I am the Project Lead for the independent outfit, Leatharian Studios. We are working on a sci-fi stealth-action experience using the UDK called Wake Up Call(you can read more about the game at the bottom of the post), and this summer will be the summer in which the game "explodes" in…
Hello everyone, So im trying to create a terrain in cryengine using a heightmap. I want my terrain to be 256*256 (1 meter) and import a highresolution heightmap that is 4096*4096. But i can't. I can only import a heightmap of 256*256.which doesn't have any kind of detail. If I want a heightmap of 4096*4096 i have to make a…
Hi. I'm planning on working in the game industry as a 3D Character Artist (it could be AA, AAA or indie, though I'm focusing on stylized characters so maybe AAA is off limits). I'm currently on my way to finishing my first decent-quality character for my portfolio. My current specs are: - Motherboard: ASUS H170I-PRO - CPU:…
