Models -> directional sprites - methods
It's probably not the best way, but this is how I do it. I split my viewports, try to give each one an equal zoom level and angle each view appropriately to the directions i want to capture. I take a screenshot of the screen, copy and paste each view with a turqoise background, convert to the game's pallete (if 8-bit color… -
Uncharted 2's Tile-able textures created in zbrush by
I have been experimenting with creating tile-able textures in zbrush and have had some great success thanks to these forums. However I have found that these types of shapes in the following screenshots are confusing me as to how to set it up. Rock shapes and repeating patterns like bricks are easier to setup. Example 1:… -

Softimage problems
It's the second time I'm trying to give Softimage a go. My first try ended in the trial refusing to start. That was before the Autodesk takeover, so I just gave it another go with an official Softimage 2010 CD from work, with an educational license. Alas, things don't seem to have improved much. First off it doesn't want… -
