Re: [source] Modular multi-purpose tileset
Well thats the thing really, i'm not intending to go into a professional career*, as this is just a hobby of mine. :) However, these forums have inspired me to improve my skills, and this is a little project of mine to apply some of these skills onto something more than a 20min test model. i'm also using source/Alien Swarm… -
Re: Unity Level Design Question
More pieces = more drawcalls = more time on GPU = lower frame rate. Depending on what platform you intend to make your game on, you may be able to get away with lots of individual pieces. But, on a mobile iOS game you would probably want to weld everything together as much as possible. Don't aim for perfection, but try and… -
Re: Best way to unwrap environment
sounds like you need to learn to use tiled textures -first choose a pixel density you can do this by applying a grid texture and applying a cube mapping and changing the mapping till it suits. but generally it would be 128 pixels per meter 256, 512 etc.... - secondly choose your base materials floor walls and ceiling… -
Re: Best way of dealing with transparent & opaque within one material
[IGNORE THIS POST] You just have to create semi-transparent parts in your Albedo map (lower opacity/fill in Photoshop or similar), save in a format that retains this transparency (PNG, TIFF, etc [not JPG, etc]) and then set the Render Mode of your material to Fade, Cutout or Transparent, depending on your intended look.… -
Re: First Weapon - Need advices
It looks really cool, but only if you intended stylizing it If it is supposed to be realistic then theres a lot to do If you are so low on tris, then theres no reason to not use more on your handguard / pump. The flawed silhouette of the cylinder really hurts the model a lot, 4-6 more sides would be needed atleast, every… -
Re: Title Sequence
Unless this is for a specific purpose (e.g. class assignment), ask yourself whether you really need a demo reel, or would your time be better spent creating static images and an appealing portfolio? It really depends on the intended purpose. If you want to show off to friends, family & the world at large, then a demo reel… -
Re: UE4 for Visualisation. Ideas and Processes
Offline renders like Vray will be here to stay because they render with pure brute force, no pun intended. They can force renders of wildly unoptimized scenes that other real time rendering packages will crash into oblivion on. Plus for in depth compositing, I don't think Unreal can split out all of the many render… -
Re: Blender 2.5 Crash Course (Not For Retards)
zwebbie thanks for the input. proportional editing is already in there, go to 6:47. and no worries object centers and 3d cursor are first things i'm going over for modifiers edit: nightwalkr feel free to request whatever you want, but there's a good chance i'll go over it. table of contents is good idea though, i'll… -
Re: Character 3D - Grafitart's Gladiator
yea, I hear you! You have to imagine what a lot of her proportions are because there are serious blanks in that pose from the concept and you have to try and connect the dots. I imagine her as very long and slender, so that's probably why I thought those areas could come in a bit. But, I have worked before where I didn't… -
Re: A paladin esque fellow
Then why not choose an existing WoW concept and model/texture it? Drawing something that doesn't match the style is only going to hurt you if your goal is to create a 3d fellow. There's a lot to learn by using someone else's concept in a style that is not your own. Doing a WoW piece would force you to really practice…
