Re: Really f*cking big new contest?!
Definitely a Minecraft one. Everyone gets eleventyfour pixels to texture a cube, winners 1/2/3 get a PC+Maya+shirtswag / MayaLT+shirtswag / shirtswag. I have insider information about this. In all seriousness, my bet is on Ubisoft Massive. Massive Entertainment has been owned by both Ubisoft and Activision, makers of… -
Re: Sketchbook: Urzaz
Ahhh I'm all over the place, aahhh Ok, so I've seen the awesome tutorials by choco for making terrain for Cryengine and UDK, and since pretty much every project I've worked on has struggled with awful terrain, I really wanted to get the time to give it a go. So for the past couple nights that's what I've been working on,… -
Re: Cubebrush.co - New Marketplace For Everything CG

Re: Need help with texturing a Quad sphere for a basket ball!
Perfectly straight UV's on a quadsphere will have distortion. The only way to get around that is to relax the UV's which makes them a little harder to pack and you might get some aliasing issues from lines that where previously made of straight rows of pixels (like the seam down the center) but now curve. It's all a… -
Re: What Modern Games are missing!
I love if someone says games where better back then its always dismissed as nostalgia. In fact quite alot of people(I,ll provide links if you really think its neccesary, from developers even) think games at the moment arent living up to their potential. Some games were better back then. Deus ex, why has no one bettered or… -
Re: When to know when your project is complete?
Diminishing returns. When the amount of effort to create something visually impressive is no longer proportional to the amount of time it takes. I've ran into this issue when I'm creating houses for a city. For all the houses I want people to look up close, I spent time making them all look unique. But for houses that were… -
Re: SkillsUSA National Competition
@Pixel It's awesome to know someone from Polycount did Skills, thanks! @WDewel Thanks! We were staying a little further north at the Marriott, but we did go by crown center on the way to home depot. We had shipped our PCs to the Texas director to hold for us until we got there via FedEx, but when we did eventually get them… -
Re: Camera for textures?
More MP does NOT = better. Especially with a compact camera, craming more pixels into a tiny sensor = MORE NOISE, not better image quality. If you want good quality and high resolution, you want a dSLR with a nice large sensor. The lens is also very important to detail, if you're shooting through a shity plastic lens but… -

Re: Displacement maps and UDK
do you have any data to back this up? again: like Ryan Smith and me pointed out: There's different usage scenarios for both situations and you should not be affraid to use and test either case. another advantage of POM is that its pixel based effect. Imagine you have a very small pattern that you need to give some depth -…
