Re: Natural Selection II Alien Structures
P442, I'm glad, that it's so bad you like it=) Thank you,vofff! Thas was a really amazing thing to hear. I worked hard! Thanks,teaandcigarettes. I'm glad you dig. I'm not really sure If I got your question right.) Do you mean the the mesh should be distorted a bit? Or the there should an actual distortion map like in UDK… -
Re: Baking hair & fur from max using Projection
this is how i'm using it. it's affinity but i'm assuming features like layer styles and stroke control are universal. perhaps you could even do it in photoshop? never looked into it's vector tools. upside to this over pixel based source assets is of course the potential to tweak- and re-use elements. the result can then… -
Re: District 9 Arc Gun
This is how it works, if you have split up the lowpoly with hard edges, then the normalmap will have issues going over that edge, since it has no extra bleed pixels to use, because of the uv being together. so, whenever you want to split up the lowpoly with hard edges, you also have to split up the UV, then the baking will… -
Re: District 9 weapon.
thanks for the feedback :) , i work in the mobile industry so its very easily for me to get to carried away with optimisation and push towards that area. ;) need to break the habbit, i gave myself a limit of 3k when i started, im at 4k so ive gone over that alot :( i wasn't clear, that uv sheet above is a little miss… -
Re: Art Standards within an art department?
I've only been at 3 studios in the last 5 years but it seems like good pre-planning fixed any enforcements that would have been needed. Just don't change your naming convention mid project, I was involved with that once, it was needed but what a pain in the ass changing everything. as far as what rules you need to… -
Re: X-Com Rifle
Hi guys, thanks for feedback! @ivanzu, Nistrum, Alex: Red dot stuff needs to be way bigger. Will do that. Are there any other scale issues? I want to move magazine deepter into the body. The text will be removed, adding it later on 2D texture will make better effect. Actually it should be sunken. I've heavly modified the… -
Re: 3ds Max, V-Ray, rendering cubemap = seams?
Thanks man. I just figured out a very clean method, right in 3ds Max. Loaded the cubecross in the Material Editor and animated the UV offsets, then right-clicked to Render, frames 0-5. It makes a perfect seamless set of cube faces, yay! And it's easy to re-use with any other cubecross, at any resolution, just load another… -
Re: Mudbox blows chunks?
Yeah mud can be picky. A few things : - Try to work with .obj meshes showing up at roughly the same size as the included mudbox primitives. Don't scale up your object inside mud if it's too small. Simply re-export it at a more appropriate scale from your main 3D app. - freeze (the blue stuff) is a masking tool. Whatever is… -
Re: WIP- Dungeon/Ransacked castle environment
Two illusion breakers: stairs have noticeably lower pixel density than everything around them, and bricks on wall seem noticeably tiled. You can quickly remedy this with decals, you can put these everywhere, hide every seam, make things look ransacked and more dungeony. If you open ExampleMap.udk, you can see examples of… -
Re: Udk material planet bombarment.
You probably shouldn't try to do that in the shader. If you did, you'd need a separate subtree of your material dedicated to each explosion, which would increase the number of instructions for every pixel each time that you added a new explosion. The Unreal way is to add a particle system and dynamic light for each little…
