Re: Deus EX Scene - Download + Sources
sorry was on vacation for a few days :) Matroskin, HP : thanks guys, yep that was totally the point of the project, I can make super highly detailed props, but in the end, what is really important is the big picture, because one doesn't make a game out of a single prop. only have a week to allocate to this, so corners had… -
Re: Lighting Dynamic Objects properly?
It is using a light env right now, I suppose (unless you turned that off), so to improve it you could: Lightmap the meshes so the lighting is baked in. This is most seamless but doesn't work if the pieces animate in such way that it is obvious the lighting doesn't update. This would also be fastest for performance. You'd… -
Re: Sketchbook: Bacn
It looks like with your current models you have textured so far, that they have perfect symmetry. In case you did not know; You can delete half of a model, if it has perfect symmetry and you intend on keeping the symmetry throughout the texture as well, and then map that one side of the model. You can then mirror the… -
Re: Vray/Mentalray in Animation -
Both renderers can do great work. I have found V-Ray to be faster when I have many lights in a scene, for example an architectural interior. For your example though, either renderer would work fine. It will take some time for you to get familiar with which settings to use, how to set up your lights, and how to adjust your… -
Re: Unwanted Hard Edges
I know @perna is an advocate for that way of working and I agree it has it's uses but if you're doing a high poly anyway I really don't think it matters that much ultimately. Sure it shaves a bit off performance off a render for VFX or when baking but it's faster to model and simpler to understand if you just add more geo,… -
Re: prepare model for vertex color
Uh, not sure why this "avoid tris" thing is so persistent but its thoroughly false. Your model WILL be in tris in the engine. Period. It also sounds like you're not quite clear on what vertex color is. Its simply additional color information stored with each vertex of the model. So rather than just storing… -
Re: Sketchbook: TarickTDS
Ive been looking up tutorials to freshen up on sculpting before i start another serious piece but im not sure ive been looking in the right places. I did find a heap of tutorials, and some really inspirational stuff however overall not the kind of holistic freshness I was looking for. The fail safe, is to subscribe to… -
Re: UTMC - Industrial Relics
Okay, another small update on it can be seen below in this post. In the first, I began to paint over some of the stuff I have textured to add some structure and some interesting objects to fill the scene. Of course, that was not enough. The lighting was pretty basic and definitely needed tweaking as it totally didn't suit… -
Re: Rift: Storm Legion - Art Dump
ceebee: Curt, I'm proud of the work you did on Storm Legion so I'm glad we could get some of it shown here. You made some real crowd pleasers here at Trion (many of which aren't even shown here). Special thanks to everyone I've had the privilege to work with (including those who have moved on). There are some super… -
Re: Feedback: the Escape, contests/challenges
The escape was pretty cool, although I do feel that teams were better off no matter what. Large competitions like this are quite awesome but I would like to see some smaller things too. Some people might've been excluded simply because they couldn't guarantee having spare time for the next 10 weeks. Perhaps there could be…
