Re: Normal Map Texture Compression Issue
Okay so, just for the record, and for anyone else looking into this: C:\UDK\UDK-2010-08\Engine\Config\BaseEngine.ini Line 720: bUseMaxQualityMode=False C:\UDK\UDK-2010-08\UDKGame\Config\UDKEngine.ini Line 817: bUseMaxQualityMode=False * I changed both of those to true, and it did nothing to resolve my issue. * I also… -
Re: Low Res Environment
[ QUOTE ] It's got a nice inner city "lived in" look to it. [/ QUOTE ] There is no 'lived-in' look to it - it looks like it was just built. You've got a disparity in your polycount and texture resolution - the polycount is about the same as one of the PSP titles, but the texture sizes are bigger than most PS2 titles. For… -
Re: normal maps and smoothing groups
About normalmaps & engine. it really depends on the exporters and so on. Your 3d app will use its own way of generating the tangent vectors for the mesh before it "renders" the normalmap. If the exporter will actually take those and bring them in your engine, the results should be the same. However I guess most engines do… -
Re: When modelling from a reference..
Hi Chaos, I prefer to create planes, put them in a separate layer and freeze it. Then create materials with references and apply them. There are several reasons why I find this procedure better: - You can hide all references by hiding the layer (if you set them in a separate layer) - You don't have to worry about viewport… -
Re: Uv Mapping a building
Here are some quick ideas I had: 1) Use a tiling brick texture. Not everything has to fit inside the 0-1 bounding box space, its fine if bits and pieces hang way off to either side, so feel free to break out of the bounding box if you need to. 2) If for some reason you MUST have everything inside the 0-1 bounding box area.… -
Re: Texture compression?
A Direct Draw Surface or .DDS is a texture that is highly optimized to work with Direct X. Most modern game engines use this file format as again it is made to work with Direct X. DXT1, DXT5, 3Dc etc are the different formats that are used based off of what you need that texture to do. For example a DXT1 is a diffuse or… -
Re: Tank alla massive
thanks all, i'll keep it in mind ^^ I was aware that the uv was badly placed though, the reason why i had the bottom so big was because of the pixel dencity, but when i came half way on it, i realized that it didn't matter (stupid me). I can also agree that the texture is a bit dark, but i had it made dark to look more… -
Re: Big Sandwich Games Art test
Not bad, not bad at all. After looking at the actual test, here's a list of things you might want to fix. 1. Missing lettering on the box. 2. Textures need a lot more wear and tear, don't go overboard but look again at the reference. Your texture is too clean. 3. Textures could be mirrored to achieve a higher pixel… -
Re: Everybody's 2nd Favorite Vampire ;P
cool crits Richard. yeah the polycount is actually 1104.. i tried keeping it fairly low and simplistic for easier rig work.. yeah, i agree his texture could use some grit.. there's actually a technique that i've seen on some people's low poly models.. the 500 or less group.. some kind of technique where the paint work… -
Re: high poly textured head
The eyes -may- need to be whiter - but I think they need more color in general. Eyes have veins and the optical cavity behind them - they have some pink/red/blue tones in them also. So I think the white value can be increased but adding more colors and very thin capilary style blood vessel etc may add significantly.…
