Re: GONDI DesertTower (many large images)
Hello there, So after my total sweep in the T2D contest last month, I thought I would take that success and parlay it into unbridled work towards fixing my temple environment, seen here. I tried to fix the floating geometry, pixel density issues, rope / railing redundancy, hard slicing lines and the other great suggestions… -
Re: simple 3d painter with shader support
If we had per-map texcoord adjustment, like your shader does, I could remove that extra UV. But we don't yet so I'm stuck with this goofy workaround. Terrain is divided into tiles. The detail diffusemaps/normalmaps have to tile evenly across the surface, so neighboring tiles will be seamless. The multiply colormap and the… -
Re: post-apocalyptic level design
True this. My brain's response was sort of like this: Car! no wait. pickup truck. APC? oh the text says it's a boat. You'd probably be better off with bumpers/buoys like: which would also give you some extra happy colours in there. Could you post a shot of the assets as they would appear in-game? Final resolution/angle… -
Re: My first time posting my (bad) art here.
ugh....the super giant eyeballs that nobody will ever see. Unless you are doing a medical procedure that explicitly shows the eye up close, why would you give more texture space to the eyeball than the entire face of the character? The texture should be looking a little closer to this, or some variation of: Take advantage… -
Re: Gray map to normal map error (nvidia filter)
You could turn off dithering in your gradient tool, but you're still going to get artifacts like banding. No way to avoid this with 8-bit source. Think about it, only 256 levels of gray. If you have a 256-wide bitmap, and you fill it with a 0-black to 255-white gradient, then there should be no dithering or banding. But if… -
Re: Assembling baked normal maps?
The reason multiple passes are sometimes required is because different areas may require you grab information from greater depths. When this problem is combined with the already establish problem of overlap from one area to another, simply exploding the model alone will not solve it. It's not always simply a solution to… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Drav - crits pls!
Nice modeling! Your HP stuff looks nice and clean. Your KTM RC125 MotoGP racing bike was my favorite piece. The colors feel right along with the shader. I didn't like the tank though. The stagnant green looks too monotone. From what I saw on your diffuse for it, it didn't seem like you mirrored much of it. If you mirror… -
Re: Mudbox
mud is fine for up to around 5 million for me, and if you seperate that into a few objects, which most models will generally have its more than enough, unless you absolutely always have to work with every object at full sub-d, which is just retarded. And honestly, you shouldnt need more than about 5 million for a 2048, you… -
Re: Slaught´s portfolio thing wip
Slaught I think you need to make your big pictures bigger and show more angles of your models. You can easily show one large image at least 600 pixels tall that has several angles of your models. Most companies need people to model and texture at a minimum, but since you have so many models that are not textured, it can… -
Re: HD DVD vs Blue ray for games
so i take it were pretty much all in agreement that we have no need for the extra space given on blue ray or at this point even hd dvd's. Maybe the next line up of systems, the "next next gen" will have more texture memory and will give us reason to use more disk space. At this time its pointless for none cinematics games.…
