I just want to say thank you.
Hey Polycount, Today was my first day at Schell Games and so far I'm loving it. I just wanted to say thank you to the community for all you've taught me and all that you've given back to artists like me. I never would have made it this far (or at least this fast) without you guys. Let's make some fucking art. Sincerely, My… -
Re: Normal Maps., yay or nay?
As far as it goes for me. I ask each asset if it would need a normals. If it's essential, if it requires one, or am I just doing the pipeline at this point? Most hero assets are going to merit one as the player is probably going to be up close to it, but lets say for a bottle, not as crucial as maybe rock that's used over… -
Let's make a Sai knife!
Hello again, Polycount! You may remember me as the person that was making the green drinking fountain a couple of weeks ago. I've started a new project and would like some of your input on it!

We have seen this territory before, with my son five and a half years ago, and we never expected to… -

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (102)
Many thanks for the pointers @Eric Chadwick Unfortunately, I don't understand what you're asking exactly, so here is the normal map: By 'run a histogram on the original texture', do you mean like so? I must admit, I didn't pay too much mind in what color space the texture itself was being previewed in, as long the shading… -
Garage game looking to work with modeler on pay per model basis.
So as the title says, I'm on my own, trying to make a game that I hope I could go commercial with one day. I built the engine from scratch, still have a TON to do, but will start needing content at some point. It probably wont be immediate, but I would like to get to know you guys, see availability, portfolio, that sorta… -
Re: Filenaming, what's your way?
I would advice using numbers instead of letters for suffixes, for example _01, because it helps if a programmer wants to use naming conventions and then through code say "give me the five first". It is convenient at times. It is also like SimonT said, some operating systems and apps use lexicographic sorting and adding… -
