Re: Making a UT3 mod, not look like a UT3 mod
Hello... Maybe if everyone's inspiration is everyone else... everyone rubs off a little bit on everyone else, until almost everyone does the same type of thing? +1 Art direction is key to shaping how a game looks, and yet the final result is a sum total of the parts (story to concept to lighting). There's a lot of grim and… -
Making a UT3 mod, not look like a UT3 mod
So a group of us are starting a mod (its for uni), and we have our concept and all that jazz but we're deciding on which engine to use. And UT3 seems to be a fairly obvious choice (its on par with source). The problem is, just about every UT3 mod I've ever seen tends to still look like UT3 mod. I don't know what causes… -
Re: Making a UT3 mod, not look like a UT3 mod
I know what you mean about the generic UT3 look across mods. I think to be honest, unless the art style/direction is deeply considered and well concepted, you will end up with mods looking more like add-on content for UT3 rather than a whole new game.

The most crucial parts on airborn to me are the design of the world and the shading inside this world, we use only a very… -
Re: Making a UT3 mod, not look like a UT3 mod
Ahh thanks Neox, i really like the idea of baking your lighting in Maya. Is that specifically for the environment? So you'd recreate the scene in Maya, light it, bake it, and make an exact same scene in UT3? Well i'm pretty sure our programmers are keen on doing some shaders (naturally) so we should be able to come up with… -

Re: Making a UT3 mod, not look like a UT3 mod
ha, smooth I didn't say it never happened :poly124: But i want to know how to avoid it, is it really just down to changing the art style and design?
