Re: Asians and art...
The sense of aesthetics (whether it stems from being anal with hand-writing or any other cause, even cultural) is not the root of the problem. It's the stem itself. Whatever causes it, there's no doubt Asian art is better, right? Perhaps. But if u answered 'yes' - the question would be: what makes it better? I see it in… -
Re: How would you make ostrich feather cards for games?
Okay I started trying to figure it out. The individual hairs coming off have really small spikes from the root to the tip so its like a bunch of small feathers bunched on one big feather. So today I did individual cards for each hair. the results are decent right now, the render certainly helps bail me out. I think im… -
Re: Which part of my custom code edits the weapon range?
Looks like you can play with Speed and MaxSpeed, they would control how fast it moves, therefore influences how far it would go before dying (I assume the projectile dies after a second). You also should check the root of this script you are extending. Look at UTProjectile, and see what it extends from and so on. Either… -
Re: Weird bending bake
If you give me this lowpoly with this uvs I'll bake you a correct map. So... Your problem is somewhere between max und xnormal. Wrong / old file, wrong triangulation (don't think so), wrong uvs, reset xform, units too small or too big, Problem might (don't think so) the exported HP To check, bake a map from max and… -
Re: features all game engines need
I don't know what to call them, but in the uncharted series they have tree roots that are rigged up so that they can be positioned differently per instance. I also remember watching a Naughtydog person go through the process of building a level, and in the detail phase placed a plant of some sort on a wall, but could… -
Re: Web Hosting Discount for Polycounters
I use dreamhost, but i think about switching, or at least expanding the license to get root access for our coders. However dreamhost is great, unlimited space and unlimited traffic. 500MB @ hole in the wall? Okay if it is just for portfolio this might be enough, but usually one of our projects has a lot of raw data (we're… -
Re: [UDK] Who don't like Zelda?
I'd say lower the fog a bit, and make greens more green. Like gsokol suggested, try to get your scene closer to the vibrancy and saturation the reference shot has. The dirt road texture doesn't seem to read too well at a distance, I would suggest adding more mid-details like pebbles in that texture. House seems too wide as… -
Re: Mossy Forest - Art Test
@Homart Hmmm... I'm not sure why the ferns aren't casting a shadow, I didn't notice that last night. Thanks for pointing that out! I think today instead of creating any more plants I'll do as you guys suggested and add more geo to the base of the trees, although I might create some modular roots instead else I'll end up… -
Re: [WIP] ~ Dice Man
@karytsukino Thanks! Def agree with your comment. I went back and did another pass on the back. Here's the latest, starting to finish up the high p, save for some last minute comments I got in the Polycount Slack. I also ditched the hat, since the character ended up going in a way more sci-fi direction than I had… -
Re: Sketchbook: Justin DeVore
Hey, cool to see you posting! I'm digging your idea and your zbrush work looks pretty cool so far. The planning out the texture space was a pretty good idea. I'm curious to know, did you sculpt it out of just one plane, or did you use separate subtools? It seems like you did it for the rocks, but the roots/green things…
