Re: Wrinkle/tension Maps inside Maya
Kyle_butler> Well at least you're not limited to the viewport capabilities. This often gets in the way of my creative shader ideas using Maya native shaders. If I was you I'd go with ghib's suggested method. To me this method sounds manageable and you won't have to hassle with all too many normal maps. Instead you have to… -
Re: Jason_Gullion: Blizzard Student art contest
Thanks Gannon :) I agree with the relevance to any current race in the game,yet I noticed the designs for previous winners were creative instances that held grip in the Warcraft universe, but were not specifically connected to the present races. I would indeed like to revisit the design as you noted, to me it does read as… -
Re: halo 3 inspired scene
looks cool, but having everythign be uniquely unwrapped like the way it is now, isnt really how AAA games handle most of their environment work. 99% of this could be done with tiling textures and trim sheets. you would get more detail and better texture resolution and you would be able to re-use a them a bunch of times,… -
Re: NightCry - Horror game from Clock Tower creator and Grudge director (PC Kickstarter)
Sorry I don't like bumping my own threads, but the Kickstarter ends in 3 days and it's made $248,225 out of its $300,000 goal, so thought it'd be worth it. It's been getting some support from history giants like Fumito Ueda, Koji Igarashi, Akira Yamaoka and Shinji Mikami. Shinji Mikami (Director, Resident Evil 1 & 4,… -
Re: does Mudbox use CPU or GPU for calculating sculpting brushes?
It's not. Your computer is fine; what's bottlenecking you is your impatience. You're like a patient who complains to his doctor that it hurts when he touches a hot stove. If it hurts when you touch a hot stove, don't touch a hot stove! And if you must touch a hot stove, use a potholder. And if you must sculpt with large… -
Re: Blade 3D Game Engine!! The Visual Game Engine!
Ok since I promised pictures I finally got the batch from my job so heres a few things first off this model is from the 3d creative magazine but I thought it would be good to show a rather decent sized poly model in the engine along with some lighting and camera work and show the frame rate with it running live as well (in… -
Re: The Beast - Earth Golem - Jordz
Hi Jordz, nice GoIem. I think that since he is made of stones he should articulate some how so he can move around. For that is not enough to shape the stone as if they had muscles. You need to separate the geometry in the articulations so they are individual pieces. And sorry but i have to agree with a previous comment… -
Re: Starting Out
For those who ask for training material, this book is a good starting point for drawing: [ame="https://www.amazon.com/New-Drawing-Right-Side-Brain/dp/0874774195/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320839224&sr=8-1"]Amazon.com: The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain: A Course in Enhancing Creativity and Artistic Confidence… -
Re: "Valve shouldn't allow custom effects for workshop-submitted sets"
I think that even if particle effects were "granted" to some artists and not others (which I think would be a rather dangerous thing to if not handled properly, as it would likely create a bad atmosphere within the workshop community), or to pro players items only, that won't prevent any known or unknown workshop artist… -
Re: Current Gen Indie Projects?
Indie games are hard work as you can imagine :0 You get creative freedom though. I'am currently going to The Art Institute of Cali - LA and have made a short 30-minute game in my time there. Does the concept of an Icecream cone with sunglasses interest you? Check it out: http://www.indiedb.com/games/freeze-e-frostys For…
