Re: ArenaNet Environment Art Test - Yes, another one!
Thanks ZacD, means a lot if it is your favorite. I've seen the others on here and theirs looks good too. Good eye btw, I hadn't noticed it, took me awhile to catch it when I read it. Looking back up at it again, I noticed another one with the wrong material.. haha, I'm gunna go paranoid soon, looking it over. Scaled the… -
Re: Rendering Real-Time Shaders
There are scripts for 3dsmax to capture your viewport at a higher resolution and write it out to a file (GrabViewport Script by Leslie Vandenbroek) I would be willing to bet you could modify one of these to take a screenshot, advance to the next frame, take another screenshot, advance to the next frame, etc. This is… -
Re: Are triangle counts a thing of the past?
Unshaded triangles on screen could probably be in the billions yes, is that going to happen in games, probably not. A million tri's in cars on an open world online multiplayer? Hmmm I'd say that's bogus but then again I'm not working on it, I'd expect cars in a racing game (say the next Gran Turismo) to be hitting figures… -
Re: First High-Low Poly Asset. Questions with final stages. [BLENDER]
To start off, thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. I'm thinking Xnormal will be my baking tool. I see there's a thread here for it so should be able to find guidance and support. Xoliul - I noticed the hinges after I uploaded my screens. I got hasty :P ZacD - Thanks for the links, deeper bevels and rounder corners for… -
Re: Ruins Scene UDK
I would agree with ZacD here,there is too much even fog in the environment which sort of takes away the depth in the scene. It will be better if its just seen in the distance.The Sandstorm level which comes with the UDK is an ideal example for such a lighting setup,where some areas would need that over exposure. Also,i… -
Re: Traditional 2D art is... weird
Blaizer, ZacD > I think you guys are not very open-minded about art here. The first pic do not need any more contrast or "dirty" strokes. We sense the sunlight and the immobility of the scene. The Sargent one should have been posted in a smaller size; I can't even see it entirely on my screen. The "dirty" aspect you have… -
Re: From Dust's DRM
ZacD: the only difference is a percieved difference from gamers. In reality a game is a game. "Its not okay to have DRM in this game, its so short!" wouldnt be an argument either :P Brendan: I REALLY hope you are not serious with that argument... :P Please show me the statistics that show decreased sales for Ubisoft PC… -
Re: Ancient City Environment
ZacD: Ah, gotcha. Vig: Thanks man. It's a fairly simple bounced light setup, but it'll make good reference for when I get to setting up the UE3 lighting. :) Peris: Thanks, that means a lot to me coming from you! Yep, I'm working with UE3. ParoXum: Sorry, forgot to respond to this earlier! Yeah, I changed the scale of… -
Re: Michael Milette's Portfolio
@Zacd you are correct my models texture in direct contrast to the reference provided is over done to much wear in tear. However I found that the reference I provided was boring not much life to it I really only used that reference for the forum/shape of the box. the reference I used to texture my scratches after was this… -
Re: Job Search Advice and Making Contacts
About the making contacts via online communities, remember that some people stick out more, I recgnize Saman because he's always giving good advice and doing good art, I recognize ZacD Because he's always heavily involved in the community. I've been on Polycount longer than both of these guys but nobody ever recognizes my…
