Ok, made new model with all the stuff I learned so far. I exported the object into the UDK and it seems fine. Only problem is that I had to up the lightmap resolution to 256 in order to get rid of the shadow problems. Is 256 sized lightmap too big for model of this size? Also a question about collision model. What is the…
Do you pay your own software are are you employed? Because most of the bitching comes from the price policy 4485 euro including taxes, a yearly subscription or an update for 2500 (and thats 20% off atm) thats a lot of money for a single seat. Put 1000 on top if you want it floating. So if I set up one seat for a new artist…
ZacD - Thanks for the feedback Zac, I'll go ahead and work some more on the pallet. Swizzle - Thanks man, I have an updated skateboard just couldn't find it. I'll post it up and let me know what you think. I hit most of your points with it. I'll go ahead and make those adjustments to the pallet. Nitewalkr - I'll see if I…
WHY must it stay 1280? Also, you may find problems if you size your texture sheet to fit a specific element of the texture, as many engines do NOT like it if a template does not have sides that are powers of two - 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc.
I've tried out a few diff pairs at Guitar Center, and I would say that's a good place to check things out. If you have one near u, or something similar, go there. I bought 2 pairs of these and I love them. Best pair of headphones I've tried yet. I don't like the expensive Sennheisers, they are too tight on the head,…
Nice work. Would like to see some reflections on the glass parts of the windows. Simply place some clouds in the sky to make variations and generate an Environment map for the glass via it's material and set the glossiness to 255, voila.
I must correct you on this , Crysis island is 16 x 16 kms (256 sq km 98 sq ml ) and Red dead Redemption map is 9 x 8 km (72 sq kms , ca 27 sq ml )... Oblivion map was 40 sq km (10 sq ml ) and the Skyrim map is stated to be about the same size ...
Just a small hardware note. I'm now running Sculptris on a TC4400 convertible tablet/laptop. It's got a Centrino Duo core 1 gig of RAM, and an Intel 945 graphics card. So far no problem sculpting and using the integrated Wacom digitizer makes life easy. It's no Cintiq, but I can still sculpt directly on the screen with a…
In terms of texture sheet here I would have done a 512 for all the detailing (the whiter rims around hard edges, the splats etc) and then a tiny 256 that tiled for the actual "material" of the texture. And in terms of the actual cliff, I'd model the larger geometry (actual cliff face) in zbrush lowpoly, then detail it for…
Blender is overrated, its UI sucks, and its really not used much inside of the industry, its capable but not great.
