Re: Dragon Rider 2D
Hey, nice work! I'm really happy that you found it useful. I think it is usually hard to get much out of a tutorial (since drawing is based so much on practice), but I tried to mention things I thought were useful to keep in mind. Yeah, working at your final resolution results in some weird behavior from the brush and… -
Re: Subway station
Not trying to be a dick, but I felt the need to pipe up on this. Craftsmanship is a really big deal, and I`m not saying people shouldn't strive for perfection. But a really big thing to consider, is context. Its it REALLY worth it to spend the time perfecting something that will occupy only a few pixels on screen, at any… -
Re: help exporting UV's
That is a little complex XD. I got the PSD path exporter. But in photoshop, when I click "make selection" from the UV path, it only selects certain parts of the map, and not the whole thing, so I just took a bright red 3 pixel hard brush and stroked the outside of the path, then I made the background black and selected the… -
Re: Check out my 2D shoot-em-up - DroneSwarm
It's designed at 1280 x 720 resolution, for high definition widescreen displays. There is support for portrait mode controls in the game, so if you want you can flip your monitor sideways and play it as a vertically scrolling shooter. Moose: there are fast moving transparent clouds above the gamefield - they're probably… -
Re: Foliage Environment
The 1 poly card causes tons of overdraw, which may be common practice at some places but isn't efficient. Like I said it's better to find a good balance of overdraw and precise cutting rather than just doing what other people do. I don't even understand why people would see the 1 poly card as efficient? Yeah cutting… -
Re: Steel Hawk
the only place the hexagons really bother me where they have a much larger pixel ratio. I feel like that kind of thing needs to be uniform. Also like others are saying, it might be good to limit its use a bit to either just the larger forms. or just the smaller forms. Also it might be good to revise the edge flow around… -
Re: Soul Harvester
can we see your texture flats? it in no way looks like its taking advantage of the real estate a 1024 affords you. Contrary to popular belief, learning to texture on smaller sheets would be easier and more rewarding. So many less pixels to worry about, you can actually focus on what you're trying to bring across to the… -
Re: LOD resources/information anyone?
As said it depends on the case you use it in, in my case it was an rts, and we reduced the characters as much as possible with the same texture applied but in the case he talks about, a unit beeing only a few pixels high it totally makes sense, as you'd just load one very tiny texture for a massive amount of characters. In… -
Re: Softimage XSI Mod Tool
They've updated Mod Tool to version 6, that's cool. So are they including the Torque exporter plugin, or just .X export/import? I've used XSI Foundation on small XNA projects for exporting .X files (nice to have programmer friends). Having a Mod Tool around would help get a few more people involved. I've been waiting for a… -
Re: Game models - WIP
Hy, Nah, I'm not that noob, but last time I got a bit angry* so I decided to recreate the whole thing, as the previous (10, or more) models didn't appealed to me. So here is another new model (redesigned a bit). Next update will have a human base character next to it. By"Z * heh, my comp can't handle highpoly meshes, so…
