Re: (FINISHED) The Suburbs - Environment
Yah, its really coming along. I think the lighting could still be improved. The sky texture and the lighting you have now seem a little miss-matched. You've got a directional light but also a fully overcast sky. I think the lighting and sky combo in the original concept looked fantastic, with the dark thick clouds on one… -
Re: File types and Normal Maps
To add to LeechDemon here: 1- Every software reads and writes PNG's differently, the closest we have to standard is Photoshop, and while that works fine in everyday usage, it's hassle for 3D softwares to read them out clearly. PNG's are the Normals Maps of the formate world if you will, instead of flipping green channels,… -
Re: The "ultimate trim" technique from Sunset Overdrive
I also tried replicating this technique a while back. I color sampled the RGB from the GDC slides because I too was having problems with seams. I hand painted the bevels and the RGB I ended up with were: Top: 128, 218, 218 Right: 214, 124, 189 Bottom: 130, 36, 218 Left: 37,128, 217 In Maya with High Quality viewport… -
Re: First Environment Asset on Indie Game. Looking for Input.
The lower columns are rather stout compared to the reference image. When working with bricks, it's important to line them up in the correct position. The layer of bricks at the bottom of the lower windows is off; it should be exactly at the bottom of the windows, instead of a bit low. The bricks are also off at the ledge… -
Re: Bargadiel - Starting out Fresh
A very quick explanation on why you want to use quads and edgeloops if reasonably possible: -it'll give you a better overview, and better control of the mesh -it'll be easier to optimize (you can delete an entire edgeloop without affecting the rest of the model) -it'll subdivide better (does not apply in this case) -it'll… -
Re: SOLVED: Normal Map/AO Question
You could just reimport the reworked AO map too, if you don't want to lose what you already have. DDO's reimporter is pretty solid even in 1.8, where many bugs abound. :) Yes, by rendered AO I mean having a program render the physical model into an AO map - doesn't matter which one does it. xNormal is fast if you use GPU… -
Re: [WIP] UDK Modular Environment
So, according to the crits that were given, I've boosted the wall heights (from 128 to 160) and lowered the railings (from 64 to 52-ish). For the railings unforunately, I've decided to not slant them to make the construction easier for corners. (lazy!) I then proceeded to unwrap all my pieces and bake the high res meshes… -
Re: Hey smart folk,
Ferg: Even if you post that email on your website as mailto:? Ryno: I suspect it has something to with my email having been broadcast off my site now for 6 years. The info i came across said that the spammers have "Crawlers" that go searching for the mailto: in the html of a page and start spamming. So i don't know if… -
Re: Building Placement on Complex Terrain
Script! You will need to make sure your houses pivots are at their base. i can give you a script for that if need be. I made the script only position the house not change their orientation to fit the terrain, I can do that too, but it struck me as a dumb idea. If you find the houses are not fully bedded into the ground… -
Re: Gentlemen Racer
I feel like the proportions are off. When I saw him my first reaction was "wow he's got short legs" Generally speaking you'd want the crotch to be about the halfway point but here it's more at the 2/3 mark which makes for a very disproportionate figure. It might partly have to do with the angle you rendered him from but…
