Hi guys I had some questions about texturing a vehicle to Nintendo DS specs. Does the DS support reflections on car materials from an environment map or a reflection map? Would an artist just basically paint in some static highlights or reflections into the diffuse map for this type of texture. Some info that might help is… -

i'm not that much into tech details, but i think i heard something about modulation when the engine coder talked. basically i can use a normal envball to lighten the object/ fake reflections...then we have a blinn shader for realtime highlights. we use this trick to fake environment reflections. here is an example with a… -

Photoshop also has an option to resample an image using bicubic sharper in the image size menu. I think the default is bicubic. You might as well and take a look at how all those options work to see how you like them… -
