Essentially, it's because the gradient doesn't have to be accounted for as strongly. Where a normal map is that light blue colour (R/G/B:127/127/255) it means that the normal points in exactly the same direction as the interpolated vertex normal at that pixel. So the more of that colour you have, the less the normal map is…
From a game-design point of view though that's a cop-out. It's saying that they couldn't balance the game, so they just force you to play in a group, that way you wouldn't feel the imbalance. It's pretty blatant in their case because they never even considered 1v1, and their 2v2 failed because of this reason. So they just…
Hi, something like Zac's build should last you a while if you can afford $1525+. If you don't go for the 1440p monitor, or buy one of the two Dell monitors at a later time it's only ~$1325. Or maybe something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3qW4n (it's basically the build Zac suggested, but with concrete picks for the…
Ok, I understand what you're saying. Now I ask, why do you allude that thin figures are not viewed as sexy or sex objects? Plenty of Asian cultures will call women out as 'fat' or 'ugly cows' if they have any kind of curves. Many of my asian female friends had to go through this, and they were barely 125 pounds. Bratz…
I'd suggest digging up a lot of ref before digging into the materials. Here's some to get you started. http://www.gwpda.org/naval/hclaspht.htm http://www.mackinnon.org/gato-diagram.html You'll notice a lot of metal and not so much char'ed beat up wood. Wood wasn't used that much because if it was wet, it would swell and…
Greetings! I am looking into buying a new drawing tablet for my PC. The old one I used was from Trust and recently stopped working. I am looking into buying a drawing tablet from Wacom. I have been looking at the Wacom Intuos Pro series and is a bit thorn between buying the medium or large one. I've done some calculations…

Hi, my name is Leslie Ann and I work for Demiurge Studios. We are currently searching for a talented environmental artist to work on our next-gen projects.

No scale issues here :poly121: I know what the problem is. The FBX export script I use is scaling my fixed grid to UDK units. The reason I use the fixed grid is for modular work on a large scale: This pic is my actual height map exported out of UDK. I could just build "kits" and build them into the terrain in UDK but I…
Many memories with Halo. One of my friends had moved down to birmingham but he happened to be coming back for a few days so he came over and we decided to play a bit of Halo. We decided to call round for some old friends, we'd all kinda drifted apart what with everyone moving but most were still in the same city. It became…
