Re: Prospects of Texture Artists?
I think it will really depend on the kind of work you do. The two trends moving forward I see are texture painting becoming much more material oriented, and texture painting integrating with sculpting. Both of these things are already happening but right now a lot of the industry still gets by with diffuse painting + quick… -
Re: A technical question regarding MMORPGs and RPGs.
More simultaneous characters, fx, AI calculation etc. all combine to make an MMO more calculation intensive than a single player game, by far. And since the lowest specs for an MMO need to be fairly humble, you can't get around the CPU bottleneck without giving up on having a big pool of potential players. -
Re: Sketchbook: Massbot
Finally started some texturing!! Pretty basic atm, placeholder spec and bump and lotsa texture seams. Want to get into the habbit of posting in here more often :P - This is rendered with XSI with displacement map, havent done any 'high end' rendering before so this is bit of a learning peice. Going to start looking into… -
Re: WIP - Spaceships!
Try pushing the contrast in your ships. Space has very little ambient lighting and a lot of what makes something seem like it's in space is overdriving the lighting from one direction and having the other side go almost black.. That with some serious spec highlights and bloom will scream... "you're in space" but you won't… -
Re: Various hand Painted Props
I agree so I pulled out the orange lights on the door and its calmed it down a good bit. Here's the adjustments. I'm going to noodle around with some stylized smoke for the lanterns and some ground fog to break up the ground just a little bit more. Diffuse/Specs are the only things left after that really. -
Re: iOS Questions
1. No, Unity does the texture compression for you 2. Doesn't matter. 3. Doesn't matter, everything becomes triangles anyway, same with every game engine. 4. Can't use a lot of them on mobile, but it's no different to using them anywhere else. You'd be better of writing your own shader for normal/spec though. -
Re: How often are 4096 textures used in next-gen gaming.
I make every texture nowadays at 4096x4096 for ps4/xbone/pc spec. You can always downsample, but never upsample, despite what CSI would have you believe. Almost every engine has some kind of texture streaming technology anyway so unloading the top mips of a texture is quite easy. -
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company 2. What is your handle?
Well that was Lame, so much lag last night.. I'm playing on my pc which should be fine at about 4x the min spec. I couldn't even play single player, let alone join a server multiplayer. Hopefully they'll get all their ducks in a row soon. It looks like a fun game. -
Re: Ares - God of War
Thanks man, texture resolution is 2048 for the whole character + weapon. Maps include: Diffuse + Alpha, Normal, Spec Colour + Gloss, Emissive, SSS Mask. Currently using Marmoset. I need to sort the emissive texture on the hammer and balance it out. I also plan on rigging him as well as putting in a decent lighting system… -
Re: Melon Hammer
Looks pretty cool, did you use reference? And I am not sure if it is intentional but you have waviness in your texture near the top of the hammer. As it stands, your metal doesn't read to much like metal to me. It reads more like stone, you might need to have a second look at your spec.
