Re: Anyone know of an iOS Model Viewer?
Here's a few examples.. unfortunately I don't have any low poly stuff which is actually any good... but it shows it works! The plant pot is to show how it handles transparency. That's a 128x128 png. The KemekoDX character has a 128x128 diffuse, and the crate is just a box with a 32x32 diffuse... which, as you can see, is… -
Re: M60a3
Well, after you posted this reference photo, I think it's quite easy to tell what can be done to really improve the texture of this. I disagree with Shepeiro - while he's right that improving the lighting will help a lot (and I've tried to include this in my paintover), I think you can do a bit to the diffuse and specular… -
Re: Doom 3 character model tutorials
I'm interested in having characters that can customise their character, adding armour to a standard model. adding armour on top of the model, diffuse map over the normal map? how one could do it in the old engines one can buy or steal armour and place the armour on target areas of the character- arms and shoulders, body… -
Re: [UDK] Island Beach Environment
Thanks for the links but i've checked the wiki several times and google too, there are some nice tutorials out there but not a lot regarding Mudbox. What i would really like to know is how to Sculpt a Normal map for a 1024x1024 Diffuse so that the cracks and bumps in the sculpt will match the ones in the diffuse, (i'm not… -
Re: ArenaNet Art Internship Competition
Yep, it's just for the number of sheets you get. If you only use two 1024s, you'll probably end up with either two diffuses and no normals, speculars, ect. Or you'll have one diffuse and one normal. You can always sneak in an extra B&W sheet into the alphas, but those can only serve so much use. And I'll be honest, I… -
Re: Fantasy Inn [with Tutorial]
Owl: Thanks for the great reply! I agree with you a 100% it would be very awesome to see more "next gen" stuff with hand painted textures! I belive the closest you get to that kind of game art is probably Darksiders, where I belive they hand painted most of the stuff, and its also normal mapet.. But why I'm using only… -
Re: Most effective way to create specular maps?
Dear god no no no. Specular maps are not desaturated diffuse maps, nor do they have to do with pulling arbitrary informating out of a normal map. Overlaying R/G is just going to give you random painted in type lighting from a totally arbitrary direction, as well as artifacts that look like smoothing errors from the… -
Re: Can someone explain this metallness/PBR thing to me.
Gloss is the same thing as roughness, can't say this enough times. Energy conservation affects highlight intensity vs spread in the same manner with gloss and roughness maps, which again, are the same thing. For specular map input as reflectivity, energy conservation acts as a fail safe to prevent artist from using… -
Re: Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition!
Nice stuff renderhjs. Been implementing lookup textures for diffuse and specular control in my engine. Right now both the diffuse and specular can be controlled by an rgb texture. The image below just shows 2 different specular lookup textures being controlled by a material type. Reflection is just a cubemap at the moment… -
Re: Specular level/power vs specular color vs gloss
One other thing to consider with specular is that the more specular something is the less diffuse it is. So basically if x amount of light hits a surfaces then some is absorbed, some is reflected as the diffuse component and some is reflected as the specular component. You never get a surface with 100% diffuse and 100%…
