Re: Welcome to making of "Town square" map in UDK
Gotta agree with Scott.....your not done with your textures. Models and composition look solid, yet the texture work looks like you applied a uniform grunge/damage map to the whole thing. The uniform crack texture applied to the gray retaining walls in the first image is an example of what I'm talking about. As nice as the… -
Re: ZBrush - Seeking workflow advice / suggestions
As others have said, it seems like you are setting yourself up for tremendous frustration by trying to learn a huge amount of stuff in a short period of time, in what amounts to a single iteration of work. Breaking off a much smaller piece of that puzzle, and then going on from there, seems much more realistic. For… -
Re: Problems when baking normal map in substance painter
Your problem is likely unrelated to Substance Painter, but your mesh/uvs, which have a number of problems: 1. Your UV layout is very inefficient, there is lots of wasted space on the layout and far too many UV seams which results in many disconnected islands. Try to reduce the amount of uv splits and islands 2. Your low… -
Re: [UDK] Green Lantern Underground Lab
SirCalalot - aha thanks man! Yeah I totally get what you mean, I can't believe I didn't notice it! I shall fix that, thank you! I have missed the word lush! I am from Bristol but am at derby uni atm and I never hear it here! Updates! I have a fair amount of texturing done. The rest of the texturing should take at most… -
Re: How do you decide what edges to bevel and which to bake rounded edges into the normal map?
These days, most AAA games will switch to bevelling edges, at lowest setting and using weighted normals. One of the games where you see this is obviously is Alien Isolation. Honestly bevelled edges increase polycount by same amount as making hard edges wherever there is a sharp edge in order to capture round detail. So, by… -
Re: What It's Like To Be A Woman Making Video Games
THANK you. The amount of "genders are equal, so let's focus on women for being women, lol what is logic" threads are getting ridiculous, even here. What is this, Tumblr? There is not some completely equal amount of men and women applying for every job, and a load of companies with managers from an 80s cartoon with some… -
Re: Megascans open beta launch delayed
Yes there is a closed beta for the suite, but releasing it to the public would not do us any good. We open up for other companies to "borrow" our ideas before we can finish them, or people will get mad because some components doesn't work. In a small controlled beta its very easy to explain that X does not work because of… -
Re: Parody and Copyright question
I suppose I'll have to have a long talk with everybody on my team about this then. We've basically been working under the table for two years now and have a very large amount of art and code assets done, along with licenses for a huge amount of software. Our project is essentially based on a game that was based on a public… -
Re: Question for texture artists.
I find sometimes it helps also to downscale or upscale by a small amount(10% 20%) until you reach the size you want. This doesn't always apply but it's something to think about. Also when you resize there is a sampling method you can choose from that says right next to it Best for enlargement or Best for reduction. (Not at… -
Re: [Portfolio] Nick Dariano, Environment Artist
I'll be honest and say that you are at the level I want to be at. Bookmarked your site in my "Competition" folder, haha. You really have a wonderful amount of work for the amount of time you've been doing game art. Your drive is admirable. Great work too. Personally, I'd leave out Cave Johnson's mailbox, though- doesn't…
