Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
Maybe someone else can give a more technical answer but this is how I understood it, normal maps are basicly encoded in a certain way, and it needs to be decoded. Maybe a bit stupid to explain it like this and probably doesn't make that much sense but: Synced would be: Baking: 5+5=10 Renderer: there is a 10 here, so that… -

Re: Cargo plasma ship hard surface

Re: [UDK] Metro Station in Ruins
Lookin good. Agreed thing should be banged up but not too much. Mostly they should just have surface-tear since it would look strange if everything was beaten up like if some things just didn't stand abandoned and rusting. Perhaps you should make two versions of everything, a whole version and a beaten up one. Since both… -
Re: Need help for baking better Looking Normal Maps in 3DS Max
No, and definitely no. What is common though is people baking NMs and not understanding the process that they are trying to work through.

Re: Seek Professional Opinion for Environment Artist Career Decision
Hi @JeremyJDickes Have y'all looked into any online schools? I have been researching them the past few months and I narrowed down the solid options to Kingslien's Game Art Institute, CG Spectrum, CG Master Academy, Mold 3D (character/organic focused) and Think Tank Online. The latter was my pick, maybe we could be… -
Re: [Portfolio] Jonas Georgakakis
Very sleek, and simple. All the info you need is there and does not detract from the art work. Is that a phone number under your email address? It is up to you but I would be wary of putting personal info like up on the nets. Email should be enough. Art wise HELLS YEAH! I have been a fan of yours for ages now. I did not… -

Check up some gold image and color sample to see the difference between your color and the image, you don't need to use color from images (i have heard and also thinks that its better to practice picking colors yourself but i also think its good training to get…
