Re: Compressing PNG with alpha!
well the thing is that the engine i'm working in only supports pvr files. The problem appears mostly in small images (128, 256) and in pics that have a cartoon stroke like the one in the uploaded pic. I'm thinking if i can export from photoshop better. I've triyed things like removing white mattes, black mattes but still… -
Re: Spanish Village WIP
Thanks everyone for the feedback! So I have added another UV channel for light maps and have it set up in Unreal, but still not getting the shadow results that I want. Any recommendations? Currently I'm setting the building pieces at 64, the cliff pieces at 128, and small props at 16 or 32 depending on size. Not seeing a… -
Re: Invader Fluff's TF2 Projects
The biggest hurdle any new artist has to overcome is taking critiques personally. If you're struggling with texturing, take a look at this thread Texturing for Team Fortress 2: A Short Guide also study the textures that valve did and try to replicate it. Lastly, preview your models on a neutral background, pure white or… -
Re: How long does...
I think MoP meant to ask what the 448 in a 448 map is? The numbers associated with texture maps are usually the size of the texture, which is typically a power of two. Meaning that it should either be 512 or 256 in size. If they told you that your limit for the map is 448 I'm going to assume they meant that it could be a… -

Re: Fade Texture to "Damage" Texture Material/Shader?
Its not the polycount that would make it heavy , but the amount of material instances and updates, if you have many characters. You would need to have one render target for each of the,, to store and display unique damage. If you end up going this way, I would recommend to use small render targets like 128, and rather… -
Re: how to determine what size texture map to use
It's up to you, actually. 1 meter for a game like micro machines is one thing, 1 meter for sim city is another. Depends on how far things are from the camera and other things. For a handheld 1st person shooter where you see the walls from very close up, I'd make each meter be 128 pixels for example. Maybe even 256. -
