Re: First Real Try at Hand Painting Textures
I hear ya Josh. I truthfully was trying to stay away from normal maps period on this project. However, now that I've brought the two assets into Unity and got the scale proper I think, the highlights are now looking like they are gonna be a problem as far as realism. I probably won't even have a directional light like I… -
Re: [UDK] Spaceship Interior
CandyStripes05, RILKE, & JamesArk- Thanks guys! MeshModeler- Yeah, I definitely agree. There were a few spots that I considered touching up even before I posted this, like the edges of those metal doors, but in my haste I forgot to do it. I gotta be careful, it's really tempting to get lazy with dDo, haha. I'll do another… -
Re: The Gaming Industry: How did you get in?
In 2009, I enrolled in a computer graphics school where they had a 2 year video game art program. I succesfully passed the preparation year but miserably failled the first year in video game art. That wasn't quite surprising as I had never done any 3D. So I started working my ass off to get to the level I wanted and… -
Re: What do you use for unwraping?
I import the obj file into Headus and make my cuts and then let the program pack it the best that it can. If I try to keep peices together using a box, the progrmna never fully uses the texture sheet as much as it should, total failure. So I let the prog pack everything best it can and then I seperate them by polygon… -
Re: Brick Apartment Building [wip]
I have some advice as far as the texturing/materials. I can't help you with the high poly stuff, although, from my limited experience, it seems like roughing the bricks up in Mudbox/Zbrush is the way to go. Anyways, I would consider combining one or more of the following things. First, vertex shader; this is super… -
Re: Bread
Static lights are using lightmaps for lighing/shadowing/gi so its pre-computed, so its cheaper than calculating the shadows in real time,but it costs memory (if i know right) because of the using of lightmap textures. UDK dont have real time GI solution, so you can make GI with lightmass (precomputed lighting) and you can… -
Re: Planetary resources in announces ASTEROID MINING venture.
you are correct. that is precisely the point. it is not even remotely commercially viable to mine anything in space. its about as commercially viable as sending satellites into orbit to make ice cream. it would require a totally new and radical as yet undiscovered propulsion system. that has been the goal of the greatest… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
Sure. Ask yourself if you can look at the material by itself, without the context of the models/scene and be able to read what it is made out of? Its difficult to define clean materials. The temptation is to leave it plain. Preferring clean environments is fine, but even the cleanest things in real life have variation. Do… -
Re: TRON - VEHICLE - Baddcog
Thanks guys, a bit more work. Think I got it uved pretty clean. Mirrored the front panel as it will be most visible (with player on it) and it'll be a-sym. Really quick test for line flow, not too happy with it but only took about 5-10 minutes. After all the uv time I had to see some kindof tex in place. Still have some… -
Re: chun li zero
Paintova powa! Haha yep I think you are right guys. But I also should have said that this was a userview screengrab, oops It's a hard balance to find really, and I agree with the points you are both raising with the pictures. I just don't want to make her too childish - instead of a complete young package I'd love to give…
