Re: Can normal map be used in animation?
We did normal map blending for cloth wrinkles on a title I worked on, it took some work but the results were kind of nice. Subtle, but it made a difference. I believe we created a regular normal map that had bigger volume wrinkles for the shirts and then a map that had tighter, sharper wrinkles caused from pulling and… -
Re: Sketchbook: Frell - learning2paint
Yeah, i mean, it can be much darker, but you've got to be consistent with your lighting -- if the shadows are super dark, there can't be much ambient light, which is gonna lead All three of these look pretty good. Paint from observation though, seriously, i can't stress it enough. I know it sounds no fun, (I don't follow… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback - CartyArty.com
looks good, one thing that stressing me out a bit is the size of the preview image , or more the text. Makes it hard to read. Also the 2 gray backgrounds from the robot and substance hurt the frontpage and grey is never nice. Then that water on the coolant is very distracting and dosnt look right. Water IOR is 1.3 so try… -
Re: Go back to school or Grind on my own
Good luck grinding on your own. The problem that is hard to fix is motivation and self determination. Even with say CGMA, you would still need to do the work and it is a lot of time of self studying. I feel if you went to a normal school you would be around people making it easier instead of on your own in your basement… -
Re: How important is travel?
I travelled alone, even when living with my girlfriend. It was just one of those things in our relationship that had to be the way it was- I go on adventures for weeks at a time, and for her it was simply far too stressful to handle the way I go about it for more than a short period of time. She was a beach lady, I'm a… -
Re: My take on realism in game art
I'm kind of an advisor for the Art Institute down here, they want me to grade some student work and give pointers and this is something I see a ton of. More often than not, my crits involve stating that the students need to learn mesh distribution instead of just turbosmoothing the hell out of everything and going to town.… -
Re: Anomaly - game project(Image Heavy!)
LoTekK - You're right! I cant believe i never saw that edgeloop near the rim. :p I'll keep in mind about the density of those edgeloops, terminating them is still something I'm not too sure with. I read up a couple of times about not having too many edges terminating at the same vertex? I think its got something to do with… -
Re: Annoying coworkers
Man Ryno, that sucks. As a Christian myself, the worst thing to here is someone claiming to be one and at the same time be a self serving, unloving, lazy, belittling (for lack of a better word:) ass. I'm so lucky where I work. No one smells. (except the occasion fart, but who doesn't do that?) Everyone is laid back, low… -
Re: World Of Warfraft....
As of yesterday, there are no servers. Closed Beta is officially over. Not real thrilled with that myself, as the class I want to play isn't even finished being implemented, but this won't be the first time a mmorpg has been rushed out the door. Sometime in the next few days, Blizzard is having what they're calling a… -
Re: So You Want to Work in the Video Game Industry
What he described doesn't really only apply to the game industry.. I know a few people in the Arch Viz industry that's been going down with stress and having to take long breaks in order to keep their mental health somewhat stable... The Arch Viz industry is so narrow now a days that the smaller firms either push their…
