Re: I love low resolutions
I love pixel art too. I love pixel art fused with low poly. But Slum's right, with so much awesome pixel art out there... why that image? Why not something like this? -
PLZ HELP WITH THE DISPLACEMENT
Hello everyone, please tell me how to solve the problem of displaying the displacement map in Mari. In Maya everything is displayed correctly, as is the map itself in Photoshop. In Mari, however, it looks as pixelated as possible, even though it looks fine in the image manager itself... I`ll be grateful for any help. -
Re: Sketchbook: Blaizer
I'm sharing a collection of brushes, patterns and a "perfect pixel" layer style for photoshop. If you like pixel art, you can grab them at https://artstn.co/m/zqmL or http://cbr.sh/7wm9s3. It's what i use for my pixel art in photoshop. -
Re: bump map vs normal map?
Basically: Yeah, they're about the same thing. A normal map stores the slope/tilt of each pixel in the texture. A bump map stores the simulated height of each pixel in the map. The renderer has to then convert these heights into slopes when it renders. It does this by comparing the current pixel with all it's neighbors to… -
Re: Texture splatting - Grass
Ok, round 2. I made a new texture and built a heightmap. I quickly realized that to avoid linear blending at all (giving me the sharp transitions that I want), the shader needs to be able to filter whole patches of grass. The idea to solve this is to collapse the whole grass patch into a single point coordinate, and for… -
Re: 3d artists - out of a job in the future?
A 1920x1200 LCD res screen has 2,304,000 pixels. Each pixel can be given a value between 1 and 16.7 million something. So thats 2.3 million to the power of 16.7 mill. That's a hell of a big number of combinations when you get down to it. Many modern games suffer from samey/bad art direction and they all start looking like… -
Re: How Carmack did it
Not sure how Carmack does it (i assume you mean the having a sheer amount of data visible, no matter what), however i thought about a method some months ago which should work (unfortunatelly my gfx card isn't powerful enough for this method). The idea is break the textures in subtextures, render the geometry without… -
Re: next gen and alpha
transparency is not an easy thing to just "fix" think about it, you only have your framebuffer, the pixels you see. now when you look thru something transparent, you know that there are 2 surfaces (the transparent, and whatever is behind) but on framebuffer it is just 1 pixel, which got mixed out of two color values, each… -
Re: 2D Community Noob Challenge November 2013 Part 2!
Think I overdid it with the blue glow/backlight. Does anyone know how to scale pixel art so it appears to still be pixel art at a large scale? so it keeps solid over many pixels? @Vysuki: thanks! :) -
Problem with DDX DDY normals breaking lighting when used for opacity masking
Hi! [TLDR: Tree's shadows break when masking out polygons that are perpendicular to the camera by multiplying the opacity mask with the Dot product of Camera Vector and Normals that have been calculated using DDX and DDY (as the tree has edited vertex normals). Shadows work when using Pixel or Vertex normals instead of the…
