Re: My New Game Development DVD
I do have that, and I'm working on getting my new site design finished right now. I only have 1 DVD done, but I do have a video going over it and showing the final results. The problem with this assumption is several things. 1.) Lots of game companies write their own engines, I dont know the percentage but believe me its a… -
Re: Sprite based game project.
If you are going artwise and Isometrics, you should look in to warcraft 1 and 2, starcraft, C&C RedAlert1 and 2, C&C Tiberium Suns + Expension. Also observe the following online mmorpgs on the following website: http://us.91.com/ Others that are not on site are: Dragon Raja, Diablo 1. Also the non Isometric ones. FPS: Doom… -
Re: Best maya viewport shader to represent UDK
UDK standard material can be very easily recreated in Maya, just take a look at their UDN and CustomMaterial page, you will see they're using a basic Lambert term with a Phong additive for Specular. Transmission is also written there, which is a simple Lerp outside of your diffuse. Emissive generally speaking, is a simple… -
Re: Techniques / Behind The Scenes - Mixing realism and anime aesthetics?
The shading seems to be the easiest part, it looks like they're using more shading steps than the Guilty Gear Xrd method, which uses only 2 steps (lit or unlit). You can see it on the orange vest there how it has 4 steps, and there's some smoothing on it too? On Guilty Gear Xrd they used the step shader instruction as a… -
Re: Environment: Trimsheet + variation texturing
If you're using lightmaps in Unreal and are making a long wall, it would be better to not use small squares. You don't have to worry about fitting in the 0-1 space unless you're going to bake something other than lighting. It should have a tiling texture which means it tiles outside of 0-1. So there's no reason you have to… -
Re: Lighting, models and UDK
Yeah unless all you have is a flat plane almost every static mesh will need a separate set of UVs just for lightmaps. The general rules for lightmaps in UDK are: 1. Make sure there are no overlapping UVs. 2. Make sure there is 2 pixels of padding around each UV shell (4 pixels total between two different shells) to prevent… -
Re: Auto Texture Refresh for Maya?
Here's one I wrote for just updating the textures on the selected objects: <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> //global proc CRupdateTexSelected() { waitCursor -state on; source AEfileTemplate.mel; string $mats[]; string $files[]; string $sel[]=`ls -sl -tr -l`; for ($node in $sel) { string $shapes[] =… -
Re: Drawing in Perspective in Photoshop
you seem to be looking for the right answers on what to do, but there aren't any because it comes down to you. so far as digital versus traditional -- it should really be both with a weighting to whatever you want your job to be. i.e day to day I do digital 3D, but i keep traditional sketchbooks on me all day every day.… -
Re: The ultimate be-all end-all Parallax mapping thread
I'm sure my advice is far from "be all/end all," but I'll give it a shot! 1) A Breakdown of the theory behind Parallax mapping Parallax mapping is a technique for real-time approximation of displacement mapping. Each pixel's texture coordinates are adjusted at render-time to create an illusion of depth as the viewer's eye… -
