Re: Handpainting Normal Maps pixel by pixel (100% Photoshop - 0% HighPoly)
Hi everyone, I love to handpaint normal maps using just photoshop without doing any highpoly at all. I only do this when the polycount is kept quite low and the texture size is as small as possible. When I work like this 90% of the work is done with the pencil tool in one pixel size (not the brush tool). The rest 10% of… -
Re: Derelict Hotel (UE4 room)

If its going to be about animation stick to the basics, bouncing balls, learning the 12 principles of animation (or at least the important ones). I… -

Re: Starcraft 2 Door

Never worry about how fugly your high poly UV's are, they don't need to be pretty, just pretty functional =P As for everyone wondering how to unwrap high poly, you already know... Just do whatever works best,… -
Re: Anyone want to make this UI?
another take on this subject would be to improve learning the shortcuts the way they are. You can always invest some time to customize the shortcuts of the application, but in many cases a major flaw of almost all applications is the bad design of shortcut customization/ understand and learning ability. Silo is a nice… -
