Re: detail shmetail
I am also pretty bored of the beaten and tired sepia tone fat grungy space marine settings nowadays too. i'm also sick of soul patches on many lead characters ffs you are not howie mandel the only person in the world who is acceptably tolerable having a soul patch if you ask me, i think this all might lead to another video… -
Re: [3D Pimp] UT2004 Playermodel Lupine Male
Cep No worries. it's all good :-) Daz it's even worse than you suspect! I have gotten spoiled by "per pixel" lighting where you can have the dog ugliest mesh, as long as it deforms nicely, and provides a good silhouette. Normal maps are your friend. Thanks for the kind words on the overall design though. I may snap things… -
Re: new models for student game
From a high poly piece of art I think a lot of it looks good, but for the sake of projecting normal maps I think you are going to have some issues with the sharpness of a lot of it overall. The smoke grenade, and the dumpster both seem to have a lot of very sharp angles that won't translate as well to baked down normals.… -
Re: Average dude
Thanks for the crit. Nope, didn't use any light-baking. My method was: all painted in final color. I used a 1 pixel brush almost exclusively, and crosshatched the light and dark shapes in. Most of this was done directly on to a single layer. Much revising was done to get the shapes to line up correctly and to look like… -
Re: Joust3D no more?
[ QUOTE ] doesn´t feel and look inferior to Doom3 really is another sort of thing. With both quantity AND quality needed to create a 3d title it really needs tons of time. [/ QUOTE ] I think this person has mistaken looks over game play as the core. People weren't after a super normal/displaced/per pixel lighting set-up… -
Re: Shit, monitor broke.
Ack, not sure. I used a Viewsonic a90 for about 4 years, works great. Supports all the way up to 1600x1200. Yes, it also supports 1280x960, and other 4:3 ratio formats. Right now though, I'm using a BenQ 21" 16:10 widescreen LCD. It's amazingly good for the $315 tag. No blurring, no dead pixels - it's great. But, you don't… -
Re: UE3 material editor questions
"Sorry for asking a question in your thread. Can you add skeletal characters exported with ActorX into this? I wouldn't mind seeing how my work looks in UE3." You sure can. Just like using UE2, you can use ActorX export a .PSK file and simply import into the engine. If you don't need bones, a .ASE file (static mesh) will… -
Re: Muliple Uvs in 3ds max
why would you want to do that? The easiest way is 1 UV per character - because it ensures that you pixel ratio (read texel) has a constant flow. Anyway if you still want to do it under max9 you have to split up your body parts by UV (head, body, ect.). And then simply unwrap each Object with unique UV`s (no overlapping or… -
Re: Jason Rohrer & Chris Crawford video
Nope... didn't change my mind at all. Maybe you guys got something from it I missed... but really it seemed to me to be a lot of back patting and comiserating without any real substance. Especially given that a lot of the philosophies discused seemed to be without any sort of solid basis. Neither knew a thing about Pixel… -
Re: Re-topology tools
Hehe East I hear you :) I think topology 'drawing' slowly got on my nerves because of it's implementation being a little broken in quite a few cases. I remember having difficulties connecting such created grids (can't remember if it was in Silo or PB...) and I slowly got less excited about it. As a matter of fact I think…
