Re: vertex colors vs bitmap texture - cost/performance considerations?
I'm also using vertex color a ton on mobile. It's a huge savings there. But just for customization/masks it can't be beat, using a texture for masks is a waste since you would often need unique non-overlapping UVs (2nd uv channel adds to the vertex count). Also if you're only using one channel of the bitmap, that's a… -
Re: [Tuts] UDK Minis
full process as in creating the material. blending a 2nd texture (snow/sand/moss) by vert painting and upvector blending. utilizing dx11 features.. and general other material things. if you're looking for tileable rock wall guidance, id say take a look here. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1515613&postcount=7… -
Re: GHOSTBUSTERS: Multiplayer art dump
Got a few questions for ya. I notice some hovering geometry (skate park 1st wire shot, lower right, 2nd wire shot base of the stairs) looks like flat planes here and there, are those texture overlays or are they there for other reasons? The grass in the church, was that modeled in or was that added in post export? As far… -
Re: Bathhouse portfolio project
Thank you for the comment, I seem to not get much feedback anywhere on any platform I use to post my works. It is indeed quite uniform and not the final version of colour or material wise. At the moment I'm speeding through the process of creating the big picture using pretty much the same texture style and colour all… -
Re: WIP of my own Hero
I like it a lot! I could immediately tell that your proportions were intentionally stylized, which means that you're doing it right, and pulling it off well. There's a lot of character in your sculpt. The only thing that bugs me is his hands. I'll 2nd what Nate said about the fingers being a bit tall. I personally think… -
Re: Crits for a Character
Cool little guy, Although I my first thought was you'd redesigned master chief as well. Maybe a slightly different colour scheme would help with this. I like the yellow being used in the helmet and chest plate, maybe bring a splash of it onto the arms or feet to really tie it altogether. Also the background is almost the… -
Re: USB hard drive that automatically backs up my folders?
@pior: Yeah, I know what you mean about cloud storage. It's hard to put your trust in it entirely when likely 90%+ of the company is virtual. I see it more as a convenient 2nd backup. Also as a potential Indie developer I'd worry about security as well. It wouldn't bother me much if people broke into and downloaded my… -
Re: Telescope Scene -udk
Just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt but I feel like the telescope needs to be raised slightly and the ceiling in the surrounding room could tier up towards to dome a bit. Kind of like concentric rings of ceiling leading up to the dome. Giving you a clear shot of the scope and even a little view out the dome… -

Re: how to unwrap uv's for lightmaping purposes?
About lightmap, auto uvs is not really the best way.... Try to attach wall together, also floor and ceiling if you can.... Try to work with instanced object as far you can, creating the 2nd uv set too. When starting the lightmap, you can do a Uvs layout playing with parameters, and it will create right space between the…
