Re: [WIP] minigun -FAIRY SHOOTER-
Reasons you shouldn't paint on normal maps: 1. It's a bandage that covers up the problem, but doesn't fix the underlying issues. 2. It's a waste of time, learn how to properly model/bake, and you wont ever have to waste time painting out errors. 3. It's not accurate or clean, normal maps aren't like a simple height map,… -
Re: FBX Export Help (Deadline Looming!)
1. You can scale the imported mesh inside Unity if it's too late/too much to do now. There is a scale bake in the mesh Inspector options (not the mesh prefab, the import setting of the mesh). 2. They're morph targets. Vertex displacement maps... no idea what they're called in Maya. 3. They will if you export them. There… -
Re: [Portfolio] EricChadwick
Thanks! I suppose you mean the tips. I learned this trick from the Chinese artists we worked with on the MMO project. They were superb at making foliage, very nice stuff. This is all just vertex color. It's easy to adjust "live" in Max, and it renders down nicely. I found how to remove the shadow acne in UDK, which makes… -
Re: Enlighten In Unity 5 :/
I did some research into Unity export tools (to get edited meshes out of Unity). Mesh Toolkit is the best I've found. https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/18552 There's also Export2Maya, but it failed for me in Unity 5. http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/export2maya-export-unity-scene-to-maya-scene-file.235241/… -
Re: 3DS Max Fbx export issues
I get that sometimes with imported meshes. It's a weird bug and it can be hard to reproduce and sometimes hard to fix. Usually if I apply edit poly or edit normals and collapse the stack it fixes it. Sometimes applying vertex color modifier will fix it too. Resetting xForm can sometimes fix it too. Or in some extreme cases… -
Re: Environment Art Test
this looks better but to me it hasnt addressed the issues... quick fixes- get some AO in there not sure on the engine but maybe a quick vertex would help. annoying big probs =-( - what still really bugs me about this is the disparity of detail. you have some seriously high detail props (not a prob in itself) against big… -
Re: i want a norm for normalmaps
that is not correct, there is definitely a difference from object to tangent, object gets a way better range from the vertex normals that tangent space doesnt. like bakeing a cube is better using object than tangent as tangent after 90º with 2 normal verts gets a bit weird, and object can hold the nmap without a problem.… -
Re: Hair techniques
shadow of the colossus hair: http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/20051207/3dwa.htm (Japanese but the pictures explain it enough) kinda dated but still gives a pretty good result, and if you animate uvs you could get a nice wind motion. For good results the alpha cutoff value needs to get higher as the hair surface gets… -
Re: Garbeled UV coordinates in UT3 package
ha yeah, thanks :) found the same UT3 thing you found. seemed to take me a bit longer to do it that way so I stayed with the max approch. one thing though from talking with a few different artists who use UT3 on a daily basis they told me to really only worry about light maps on walls and floors as these are the things… -
Re: Himilaya Outpost
I do love it when people show their progress in a sort of diary form! Anyway the composition of your first picture "really" reminds me of a bad storm but more rain / thunder than "light blizzard". My suggestion is to change the fog colour to more cool colours. If you're using UDK then the snow texture vertex blending tut…
