Re: 3D Noob alert! UV Texturing and Normal mapping
I'll try to give you an answer: As far as I know there are three typical workflows when it comes to normal mapping 1: You create a color texture in photoshop, make a greyscale heightmap of it (white up, black down) and use that to create a normal map, either using NVIDIAs or xNormals Photoshop plugin or you can use… -
Re: Democratic or Republican
It's strange, actually. I (despite being English, not American) care considerably more about American politics than UK politics. At least with American politics there is a clear, distinctive difference between the two major parties and their candidates. Over here, both sides have been merging into one for years, and now I… -
Re: First model: UT2004 char
Allright, first of all thanks to all of you. This feels dumb but I really need to start UV mapping now, can't fix that much more. Here's a new update, have added some detail to the chest part, making the thing behind his neck look a little better. I will however delete some polygons in his thighs, have forgotten about… -
Re: How do character design? ? ?

Re: Roads on large-scale terrain?
The project I'm finishing up right now called for a creation of a terrain almost as large as yours.

The way I built it: I traced all the height lines… -
Re: Videogames and Pirating
Xaltar: Fair enough. You're right, my intent was not to come off high and mighty, nor did I Intend to single any one person out. I can see how my post can come off as confrontational, though. I sometimes have a difficult time putting my thoughts to words too, and I think Vig hit it spot on....in a much more eloquent way… -
Re: 9/11 Loose Change
As an addendum to my last comments I think it's very possible that there are deliberate attempts at providing misinformation to the public in the way of conspiracy theories so that details of real issues become obscure. I'll cite as an example GWB's recent criticism for allowing illegal wiretapping of American folks and… -
Re: Nates props
[ QUOTE ] One of my modeling problems was that I was told at school that triangles were a big no no. [/ QUOTE ] Not this again...you only need to keep your models mostly in quads when you need to use meshsmooth or something similar to subdivide your model (and you want as clean a meshflow as possible). Even then tris are… -
