Mirror and weld modeling workflow with baking?
Hello friends and associates, I am working on a sword for a VR game mod, and I've opted to mirror and weld one half of the sword so I can maximize pixel density in the materials. This is the first time i've ever made an asset with baking where I didn't just lay out everything in the UVs with no overlapping. So of course,… -
OTTTD
(Warning image heavy thread) Me and 4 others here at Studio SMG released today our tower defense game called OTTTD (over the top tower defense). The game takes a humorous take as a game in general, includes some RPG elements and in general is pretty much over the top. If you are interested in the game, visit its website:… -

Re: UDK: July 2012 Release - Synced Normals!
I tested smoothing groups along UV texture border edges vs 1 smoothing group quite extensively a few months ago on statics within the UDK (from xnormal and maya bakes with custom cages). I was less worried about the compression artifacts and more concerned about the seams once imported ingame. I honestly thought I would… -

Re: Water Well . Prop Practice
I personally think you are approaching this prop in the wrong way. Right now you are attempting to make unique assets for each section of the model. Personally, I would sit down and break down the asset I am gong to attempt to make. For the well, you have the roof, the rock base, the wood supports, etc. I then decide what… -
Re: Sketchbook: Hannah
Hey Hannah ,really liking what you've got so far but, I thought I'd jump in with some suggestions of where you should go next. First and most importantly I would say you need to start sorting the lighting out. Everything is a little flat looking since the cavern walls are lit almost the same as everything else, apart from… -
Re: Worn Fire Extinguisher
A few things that stick out as being "off". You are getting some pretty nasty seams both between the join in the side of the extinguisher and also along where the base and the side join. To fix this you can use software such as Mari, Mudbox or Bodypaint to paint a texture seamlessly across the uv islands directly on the… -

Re: Rigging helper bones: And other nonsense.
I remember that article. Stephen Theodore talked about it in his Pixel Pusher column. No idea what issue it was in though. I don't think it was three years old, maybe early last year? Half-Life 2 uses a lot of fix up bones in their character rig, which I think Theodore was referencing when he wrote the article. I remember…
