Re: Displacement Questions
Also displacement occurs typically along normals defined by vertex normals. So any object that has split /hard edge / sharp corners / normals would typically make a split in displaced surface . Few renderers can fix it automatically to certain extent but not Octane probably . Also typically displacement is working together… -
Re: Wildebeest (Overwatch Concept - Taken from the Art of Overwatch)
It depends how much level of control you want on those hairs, i.e. Will they bend, have physics, do you want clumps to move in patches? If not bothered and they're just going to be static I would just bake them as a strip of polys. If you're baking in toolbag it allows you to bake an alpha map, if in painter I wouldn't… -
Re: 51 things every game student should know
Sounds just like my uni! 'Gamers' who think they can make/design games because they play them all the time. Then, when the pressure starts towards the end of the year the excuses come out and extensions are given because they've been lazy all year and start claiming to have all sorts of problems. Ya. I'm also thinking of… -
Re: DirectX12
Nothing that OpenGL doesn't already offer and do it better. @up. I don't agree. DirectX 12 will be catching up to current hardware (GCN 2.0 and Kepler). GCN 2.0 is in consoles. But to be honest I really doubt that any serious developer will step into DirectX again. There is just no reason to trust Microsoft in developing… -
Re: 3ds Max OpenSubDiv uglyness
It's just extension of what you can do. You can still use edge loops to get same results. The issue goes away when you have enough geo in the 'smooth' area, be that by adding sub-d levels, or by adding geo traditionally. Additionally making the crease smoother makes the effect less visible, while smoothing sharp edges.… -
Re: The Environment Art of Halo 4
" The normal tangent space of the engine was synced to that of Maya which allowed the environment team to construct less expensive game res models while preserving a clean normal map bake in the final result." would anyone be able to sum up how by using maya to construct models would be less expensive? would that be in… -
Re: Rich Diamant using Substance Designer
Eh, not quite to the same extent - with photoshop you can't make changes while the game is running, and that's a pretty key difference; you'd have to make changes, reimport, then test. This feature is a real time saver for me, and one that can also be worked into game features without a hitch (player customisation can be… -
Re: the Beast (kresh)
@meletis Tank you! @DerRazputin many thanks, dude! @lotet - like Kerrigan? Do you mean he looks to feminine? It's because i've listen to llRobinll and made the triceps smaller... haha... Will you try to finish yours Troll now with deadline extention? I was very sad to hear, you give up. I like your character and style very… -
Re: Environment Art - Share your experiences.
I'd just tell you to dabble in both while you can (aka college) and do what you love. That's whats most important. If you want an easier time in the job hunt but a more technically inclined job including tools development, scripting, etc, with a bit less art creation go tech art. If you're more of a pure artist, which I… -
Re: Color theory and color wheels
:) to some extent red and green ARE contrasting and complementary colors. There is color contrast and value contrast. Out eyes have 3 types of color receptors with peak responses cued to the wavelengths corresponding to red green and blue. So red next to green stimulates two distinct sets of cells with just a bit of…
