Re: bath/shower asset
Thanks for the feedback! I'm going to try and give everything an art deco style, and for the chest I want to give it lots of intricate detail and an art deco design. I may make a close up detail sketch of the chest before modeling it out. I also may have to rework the texture of the bath/shower piece to give it more of an… -
Re: Decal technique from Star Citizen
There is no way to use this workflow in stock CryENGINE/Lumberyard, as far as I understand. It requires a special shader that selectively writes to deferred render targets instead of using straightforward alpha blending on every target equally (that's how it's possible to overlay normals without killing existing albedo,… -
Re: Modular Assets, should you delete back faces or keep them?
Some of the biggest proponents for the use of modular kits on a large scale use dynamic lighting in their games (eg Bethesda) anyway, so there's no consideration of lightmap space being wasted. AS Axi5 said you can scale down those faces to 1 pixel so they don't take any UV space. In my experience it's better to keep those… -
Re: Chrono Trigger Millenial Fair
"Everything looks a bit washed out." Yeah, that seems to be a fine line at the moment. Something I've seen said about hand painted environments is that they are low contrast so the characters will stand out from them and now fight for the eye, but how low is too low? I'll have to take a look at this but it may be something… -
Re: What are your favorite video game features ?
Aside from storyline, character customisation and explorability id have to say, the unknown. I like when theres something stellar hidden at the top of a mountain or for instace the secrets caches of weapons hidden in rocks in the fallout games. Also ( controversally ) breakability. I loved being able to explore areas in… -
Re: Quake 3 turns 10 years old - has technology advanced as you once thought it might?
I'd like to point out that Deus Ex's release date is closer to the birth of the FPS genre (assuming it starts with Wolfenstein 3D) than it is to today. It and VtMB and a ton of other games that still have great gameplay are completely forgotten and stuff like BioShock can pass for a 'complex FPS-RPG' these days. Oblivion… -
Re: Zeth's WIP stuff
Man, there's just so much to do. I have a fairly good understanding of how to do pretty much everything, but the problem is getting stuff done, to prove that I can do these things. It just takes so much time to build up a good portfolio... Some things I've seen here, and on other CGI forums that I want to do; -make a… -
Re: Xbox One
They're only stupid if people don't buy them. I feel that many a time we forget that we exist largely within our own little game informed bubble. There are a ton of people that aren't going to do any research into the new systems. They'll just put down the money on the system they want/ can afford/ is in stock/ is on a… -
Re: New article - females and the industry
Ok, I for one do not like shopping, I think it is a terrible waste of time and I would rather be doing nearly anything else. That being said, I also didn't like then Sims games as I felt they lacked any sort of purpose. I enjoy games with deep storylines, intricate character development, emotional aspects and ones that… -
Re: Modelling buildings with interiors
This is a great topic. The inclusion of building interiors can be a sore point technically for a bunch of reasons. Initially you need to think about the engine your using(which I see you have done), what kind of building your making, which era its from and what gametype your shooting for. These are questions you need to…
