Re: New Mass Effect Video
I know there are some other polycounters and cgchatters doing freelance work on Mass, which is being handled by Liquid. From what I have seen they are doing some very good work! -

Re: Getting good height from Nvidia-filter normalizing grayscale height
Hey all, Here's a comparison between three methods for mixing normal maps. To me, CGBootcamp's method actually looks worse than just overlaying and darkening the blue channel 50%... but both methods look pretty bad to me. The added details look flat because they aren't oriented correctly. Blending normalmaps is a 3D… -

Edit: Look at the thread directly below this one, "10 texturing… -
Re: CryEngine Portfolio level + custom assets: Lab X2

The normal maps and displacement maps are from Crazybump, and I'm using parallax occlusion mapping on the main brick texture to give it extra depth. I still have a lot to do for this building yet. Buddy sent me a sweet paintover a few… -
Re: My first model PnP at Polycount :D [Water Tower]
It looks like you need to take some more care in picking the photos you use for textures. The ones you have chosen don't seem to fit very well. Check out CGTextures.com for some good textures. Try to combine several textures together and tweak them until you get something you like instead of just using the textures…
