Re: Answered: Quixel Suite 2 a big step backwards for me.
Every Smart Material generally creates a group. If it doesn't, you can add a group manually by selecting the layers you wish to work with and clicking the group function in dDo's main window. Cavity and curvature are not generated by dDo as individual maps within your *.PSDs. The SUITE will generate a curvature map from… -

Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
I feel that it's more a matter of cutting out unnecessary things than what I've sacrificed. And I consider my game art life to be pretty stable. Starting working in games in 2004. Been married for almost 5 years, have a son who's almost two, own a house and all that jazz. I've also always had a pretty active social life.… -
Re: Seamless textures for tile sets
Hi there! I'm actually working on a similar project in terms of modular environment pieces and I just figured this problem out yesterday. First, read this if you haven't yet: https://80.lv/articles/textel-density-tutorial/ The concept is essential to accomplishing what you're trying to do. Once you've got your texel… -
Re: Modelling with high precision
Thank's all for your feedback guys, and sorry to have taken so long to answer. As i am doing this as practice, i have moved away from the Mig-31 and set my sight at something i'd be able to photogrammetry scann, the Mil Mi-24P, wich is an other machine i really like. I went to take a few (about 1500) shots of the exterior… -
Re: ArenaNet Environment Art Test
@Marchwarden: Thanks for the great and thorough crit! You brought up a lot of good points. On this pass I've addressed most of your notes. I'd like for the house to be weathered, but not too much. I'm aiming for it to look kind of cozy and whimsical, rather than totally desaturated and gloomy. @Aimbiz: I'll consider… -
Re: Interested a career change, maybe teaching
@Xoliul - Right on, I agree completely. Those cons are the same here as well. I just didnt list them all earlier. =) When I first started teaching I asked the school for 1 PS2, 1 XBox, and 1 Gamecube. I wanted the school to have the systems so I could bring in games and share them with students and have a lot of the… -
Re: Genius Kids' Garage(img heavy)
Thanks a lot for your comments, guys! sltrOlsson, thanks, mate! Yeah I've considered a computer but for now decided to go with the blueprint table. I thought that it would help keep things more "garage" then "laboratory".) I also thought it would create a funny contrast between the tools and what's been achieved with them.… -
Re: New to baking normal maps for games objects
Seems like you're on the right page with most of these assumptions. Not sure exactly what you're asking so will ramble slightly. Your specs... Looks like you are using a software I don't. I usually bake in Topogun or ZBrush, but whatever works for you or your company is fine I'm sure. Moving obj or other files between… -
Re: Animation Exercises - Feedback Appreciated
Pretty good. Some nice squash and stretch for your bouncing ball. I would put in a pose where the ball is contacting the ground, then over the next frame or 2 have it squash and then it can bounce back up. Like so: https://cedricbelato.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/screen-shot-2015-05-17-at-20-50-34.png This will give a nice…
