Re: Merging multiple objects uv into a single map and baking with xnormal?
Well I tried baking my normal map from all of my high poly meshes to all of my low poly meshes (I combined my low poly meshes into a single object), and it gave me one flat color. I'm not sure what the problem is and i can post pictures later tonight/early tomorrow . I'll try baking them individually to see if that solves… -
Re: My guide good 3D artz and stuff
if your testing a new modeling tool (of course just to see how superior poser is) make a cube and subdivide it until the tool crashes and for texturing always start with a 256² texture no matter what you're doing, 256² is the right startpoint aww, and its totally common to borrow art from others everyone is supercool with… -
Re: GeForce 8800 series out now.

Re: Example Next Gen environment art
I believe the reason the gloss maps are different per engine is the render engineer uses different values for what a grey pixel is. He needs to set a baseline on the game so the shader knows how bright medium grey pixels are, then you can tune the shader in game if you're lucky and modulate the gloss map from it's min and… -

Re: Why am I being charged monthly for providing free sample pack? (Gumroad)
Tbh even 250 a month isnt expensive compared to some other email list options like mailchimp or awebber. If you have an email list of 10k people and cant figure out how to make atleast 250 a month thats just bad business. 10k subs at a conservative 2-4% conversion rate on a even a 40 dollar product nets you $8-16k. Thats… -
Re: bump map vs normal map?
The new compressed normal map formats (supported by Xenon and newer cards, later DirectX's, etc) throw out the blue channel completely, and recalculate it on the fly (IN HARDWARE!). Of course, it only works if all your normals were length 1 to start with. z = (x*x + y*y )^1/2 once they are converted back to their -1,1… -
Re: Are games worth $60?
