Re: Texture painting - How fo I change my techniques for normal maps?
Thanks! I'm so grateful for a quick reply. Not much painting? that's a scary thought, I mean, I'm crap at painting but... well I've already put a bunch of material and shadow from AO in my map but it still looks so flat, That might be my normal map's fault due to it being my first one. I'd like to know more techniques if… -
Re: Anime Process + Shader Techniques
For reference, the Guilty Gear Xrd GDC presentation is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhGjCzxJV3E They mention a few things in there, maybe this helps: - They preferred to use vertex attributes (colours and normals) instead of textures to store information because it was easier to edit (instant feedback) and these… -
Re: Sketchbook: Sage
I remade the height map based off the diffuse. I took the diffuse, and did a hi pass in photoshop until it looked even. It sort of reminded me of a blue channel of a normal map. Then I faded that those to luminosity. Ran levels to get the contrast I wanted. Then I went in and made all the greys more less even to what I… -
Re: UDK - Mountain Valley Environment
Your newest shots are really looking great. You shouldn't need to be adding emmissive values to your diffuse textures if lighting is set up properly though. Try going into World Properties and adjusting the Environment Colour and Environment Intensity first of all. As default this is black - nothing should ever be pure… -
Re: Specular map help
I usually use a power on the diffuse texture for the specular "color." Some people advocate complementary colors. (basically inverting the a high contrast version of the diffuse which can be done with a power and a 1- node in the editor) I don't particularly care for that yet probably because I haven't found the right… -

Fox Engine Office Remake: While the Fox Engine is very impressive, especially the E3 2013 Trailer, I felt that the Office demonstration was doable in CryEngine 3. To prove it, I present you Fox Engine Office Remake. All assets have a proxy model and the level is in real scale. Many assets have POM to further enhance their… -
Re: Reviving my old BRAWL environment
Hey David, Sure thing dude! My general workflow as far as modeling and texturing goes is- - Create Highpoly model in Zbrush (for models with organic elements like the rocks) or Maya (for hard surface stuff like the temple) - Retopologize in Topogun (organic) or create lowpoly in Maya (hard surface) - Unwrap lowpoly in Maya… -
Re: Seams on normals again! Help?
Hey Kensey! I might be able to shed some light on the problem (funny joke, right?). You are always going to get light map seams on objects where the UV shells are mapped diagonally. You have to make sure your Lightmap seams fall between pixels to ensure a perfect seamless light bake. This means your UV shells are going to… -
Re: Sketchbook: zenarion
Super cool 2d stuff in here. Those metal gear style scary killbots at the top are baller, i'd love to see one in 3d. Crits:I feel like the g3's spec is extremely weak. It basically looks like you got caught up on detailing the specular and completely forgot to just make it look like metal and then work from there. Judging… -
Re: Sci-Fi Junkyard scene WIP

Well, at least i can practice capturing/recording some stuff since I need some practice for a tut which i wanted…
