Re: how do you make hair?
long hair isn't so hard to do if you can afford the number of alpha-planes and sorting at least on PS3 (i assume 360 and PC have no trouble either) is not the biggest deal with alpha-to-coverage. i find it gets more interesting with shorter/unkempt hairstyles. i once had to do sorta-unkempt medium-length hair (reference… -
Re: Concept Art and Photoshop Brushes
Like EQ said, get moving and don't stop. If a blank canvas scares you start drawing objects. If you're new to drawing read some tutorials and start painting. If you're new to digital painting, read some tutorials and start painting. http://www.gfxartist.com/features/tutorials http://itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm <-… -
Re: Texture Optimization
cow1787, either way is fine, as long as the colors along the outside edges of the mapped chunks are similar to the colors directly inside. Yeah, that's a good point Black_Dog. I've seen programmers change texture formats on load, or during runtime, whatever is needed, usually to squeeze out better performance. It's a good… -
Re: INTO THE 3RD DIMENSION!
The method I use when mirroring, which to me is a little simpler than the other suggestions, is in the Hierarchy panel, turn on 'Affect Pivot Only' then just type in the value in the transformation boxes on whichever axis you're mirroring on. If you're working to the world origin then obviously just slap a 0 in there. You… -
Re: Another portfolio - 3D Artist
Thanks for the comments so far Flysoup: That's strange, I've been testing in Opera, IE, Firefox, and Safari (both XP and OSX), and there haven't been any cases of new windows opening up. The links should load the page in the same window/tab (I meant to have the "current" model being viewed greyed out and non-clickable in… -
Re: Penny Arcade "new hire" episodes
First time trying to watch any video on penny arcade, its impossible for me. I can wacth the first 2:30 of any video, and then it just stops and seems like it buffers for ages... if I leave it "buffering" it takes about 12 minutes to load the next 3 secs, and then freezes for another 12 mins for the next 3 secs. This… -
Height map work disappeared... help :(
posted a photo below, but all my work from yesterday just... isn't registering? I'm on the same material I was yesterday and I haven't made any changes. Saved my stuff (multiple times), went to bed, and now it seems like it's missing. the error says "No output node defined" but I thought my final base material node at the… -
2D/3D Game Artist Generalist/Character/Environment
Hi. My name is Polad. I've studied in film concept painting from State Painting Academy of Azerbaijan and Media design in Metropolitan in Budapest.

Re: Confusion with producing Flow maps
Well, the first step isn't really to wonder how to do this or that in the so-called "best" way imho ; the first step would be to get one's hands on a material/shader for a 3d app or game engine (or an easily moddable game really) that supports the effect, and use it in practice. Otherwise you're bound to operate on mostly… -
Re: AK-337 modular rifle system
No, they're great tools but I'm not using them. My textures are still Photoshop fill layers, masks, patterns, and adjustment layers. I've been using PS for a long long time and I like to think I'm fast and efficient with it. I reuse materials and processes between textures, etc. I've used Substance a bit and it's nice.…
