Re: Is anyone using Ornatrix to make hair?
Ya Totally dude! I think alpha to coverage is simply anything that's over 50% opaque is rendered as alpha test, and everything under is screen-space stippled to 4 shades of transparency (with super or multi-sampling) that don't have any reliance on sorting, The 50%+ Opague parts will still have a ton of clipping issues.… -
Re: Maxon Announces Cinema 4D R17
This update is very disappointing, to say the least. I would've really liked to see some improvements with BodyPaint, as well as with the baking functionality of Cinema. So far baking a texture from a mesh has a 50/50 chance of failing and producing artifacts or succeeding. I also would've liked for them to add a way to… -
Re: Insectoid Concept Painting
Cody: I wouldn't say it's Guass's tip. I've been using it for over 4 years now. It's definitely a good pointer, though. I first learned about it from a drawing class that was telling us we should hold our drawings up to the mirror to spot errors, so I thought I would reproduce that in Photoshop and viola :) Crasong: Glad I… -
Re: Able to draw, born talent or hard work
that's fine if you think you have proved your case, but you were just so quick to resort to insults. I just know from experience at art college that out of the average class of say 30 only one or 2 end up being top notch. It's the same with sport/maths anything really, and ironically I count myself as one who has a bit of… -
Re: [Art Dump] Traffic Panic: Boom Town (iOS/Android)
Here you go @Ayples, a few textures from selected buildings and vehicles. There is nothing crazy going on to texture these assets, but we did overlay a few different passes at the top of the textures layer stack: - AO bake, set to multiply 100%. - Shadows baked from a top-down directional light, set to multiply 100%. - A… -
Re: Brink!
Yeah, steam region pricing is getting really bad here in Australia. Paying $90 for something that should cost us less than $50 is bullshit. I ended up buying my copy from here: http://www.gametap-shop.com/ it was $50 and they email you the cd key on the 10th. You can also get it from here for about $36AU:… -
Re: Penn & Teller BS - Video Game Violence tonight at 10PM
you know.. i'm a crazy person, had a bad upbringing. when i was around 5 or 6, i used to get off on drawing people being tortured, and in kindergarden, i pushed down a girl from a playhouse because it seemed fun. she broke her arm. i've been playing violent video games for 15 years now, and i still haven't killed anyone.… -
Re: Making games replacing playing games?
Yeah, I'm with JacqueChoi on this one. I seem to lose all interest in playing video-games when I'm actually working with my own personal projects. I'm not in full art-mode all the time though, it usually lasts 2-3 weeks then I go over to 50/50 and sometimes full game-mode. Right now I'm in full art-mode , so spending all… -
Re: Connections and the merrit in the games industry.
Enh... Contacts don't get you the job... They get you an interview. The rest is up to you. So ya, portfolio is 50%. who you know is 50%. Most people won't refer friends who they feel arent up to par, either. If you refer someone who is an asshat, or a terrible worker, you`re going to get shunned at work as well. No one… -
Re: Is it possible to bake normal maps into diffuse maps?
Aw shucks, that's my guy. :> Here's some detail on the layer setup. Not sure exactly why I used both a WSN and pRTP with different blending modes. The way I usually do it now is roughly this: Cavity/Curvature - Overlay Green Channel of WSN - Soft Light or Overlay at 50% opacity Ambient Occlusion - Multiply at 50% Base…
