Re: Turning MEGATHREAD's in to sub-forums, please read.
I'm all for trying different things and if it doesn't work breaking up even less. Game engines/dev tools threads would have to require labels and the good ones need to be star-ed or something, like [UDK] [Basic Guide] to importing object and setting up materials [UDK] [Advanced Guide] to setting up collisions and… -
Re: Proper Specular Maps
Specular put simply is a Reflection. if you go look at some reflective objects you will notice that they have a tint to their reflections. In the image below you will notice that the sky, and other surrounding objects are comming out yellow in the reflections. this is because the other colours are absorbed by the material.… -
Re: Portfolio feedback please! Environment Artist - Tulkas09
Hey, yes, I have to work more with individual assets, lots of object individually aren't worth because we tried that the game moves with 30 fps with a student project, where we don't know where the performance is going out. Like we don't know if the lighting causing trouble or textures, or objects... Also you have the tabs… -
Re: Polygon Display Errors with Maya
That has to do with your camera clip plane distance. It usually happens when you are importing objects or opening old scenes that have a massive scale compared to the default centimeters units. To fix your problem, select your perspective (and other cameras) from your Outliner and adjust the Near Clip Plane value.… -
Re: Tiling textures and unique normal maps
For simple objects it would be more efficient to use chamfers than having a unique normal map. I think normal maps are a bit overused( for simple objects), you can achieve nice results with just a single chamfer and face weighted normals. Also saves a lot of time, especially if you're using quad chamfer. You should… -
Re: Shotgun critique
If you're spending polys on the end cap of the barrel, why not make it a tube instead of a cylinder? The smoothing of the end of the magazine tube is just wrong. It's beveled, not round, and there's no reason to have more than a single cap segment. In general, it's best to selectively apply smoothing. Flat objects (e.g.… -
Re: ancient ruins (for Unreal and Unity)
First render with UDK Now I had several problems with uvs in UDK, when i go to "build all" I get the error: "Object Has Wrapping UVs" a slightly odd mistake because my objects have a second channel of uvs to avoid this problem. As for the rest is me liking the result but I still think it can be improved a lot, I hope your… -
Re: Battlefront's Level Construction - how can everything just sort of match and blend?
To add, around 50-53 minutes in it explains how they do it. In short the scale of a terrain object affects the tiling of the detail map so that tiling is consistent regardless of whether you scale up or down. Other than that I believe they just kept the values of their terrain objects and the global terrain very… -
Re: Am i too old?
that would be a nice idea with the company in Berlin. one small problem is that i live in Rhineland-Palatinate and now the ultimative problem; I can only affort the trial version at the moment X-/. I tried some month ago to learn 3ds max in the 30 days they give..[result was that i know now how to import cameras lights… -
Re: Environment concepts, painting over 3D block ins?
It's pretty common but knowing perspective and architectural drawing is a very good plus. I mean, you don't want to do 3d models of every little object in a concept image, right? It's sometimes much faster to just paint the objects. I usually use 3d screenshots of a simple scene with boxes as a base to start with in order…
