Re: Face weighted normals question and methods...
Hello. Modern GPUs handle poly counts in the millions with ease. A few extra polygons will almost never be a concern unless your target platform is mobile phones. Also, polygons don't really matter but vertices do. If you don't use face weighted normals (i.e. you are most likely baking the roundness of your edges from a… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
regarding TERA - and other games that do the same thing: the problem isn't necessarily that there are scantly clad females in the game, but how they're used. A player can play a female character and put them essentially in whatever outfit they choose in a game like that - the question becomes weather the game promotes… -
Re: Rendering Real-Time Shaders
This alpha-channel stuff is all well and good, but this guy is talking about animations here. If you are doing a decent-length animation, doing it all in photoshop with select -> color range is going to be a bitch. Going the "green-screen" route, you can capture a sequence of targa's and feed them directly into a video… -
Re: Why Subdivs surfaces? Why people still use them?
Well to be fair Maya's way of working with it's Mia_RoundCorners is really tricky too,but there are some really nice results with this technique using Maya (Courtesy of Fingus) and even far more better results with MODO in a very short amount of time (one hour for this gun,courtesy of Tor Frick) . Actually,i don't even… -
Re: CryEngine moves to a subscription based model.
Cryengine material editor is nice, but artist non-friendly and thats pain in the ass. Lets say you want to adjust reflections without touching speculars - you cant do that. You want to layer one material on top of another one? Sorry, but not supported. You want to adjust texture saturation? Not supported. You want to… -
Re: Maya UV distortion question
I would choose the least amount of checker-pattern look on my models. I mostly apply "procedural" textures, Quixel or Substance, so that will get corrected in most cases anyways. For hand painted/low poly characters I personally would choose the cleanest UV way. When I paint textures in Photoshop, I want to paint on a… -
Re: Sick of the quality of games (not gameplay related)
*You'd have played the later chapters more recently. But my point is that when a very short game is still taking a significant amount of time to develop, would you really be happy to wait 4~ months (random figure) to get the next 30 minute installment? That to me seems wayyy too fragmented. I think the idea of "episodic"… -
Re: Buying from EBGames.com
you can always cancel your pre-order, no matter what. If they did charge you already (which they shouldnt have, if it says it charges when its shipped. if they did though, i would assume they would just credit it back to your card, seeing as its online. Even if you go to the store, they ask for a $5 deposit, but you can… -
Re: WildStar
I can understand why people would be apprehensive about it - its difficult to completely steer away from WoW given the amount of success the title has had. Its not the same combat system - if you look at some of the gameplay videos you can see its not just walking up to an enemy and hitting auto attack, you have to move… -
Re: Is there Any data available on payout/acceptance rate?
I have been grumpy for sometime and for a good reason. Still, I do it because I like making stuff that the community appreciates. Got good amount of votes of many stuff I made for an entry artist and that keeps me going. Also, looking at my work, you will notice I keep improving as i go on! The amount of learning I get is…
