Re: Will a vert lit model made in max go to maya????
ghost_rider, I see, yes this is a problem in every package as far as I know due to the nature of vertex lighting. Mostly it looks like crap when you bake because when you do a render the lighting is applied to the surfaces as if they had a million vertices in them, when you burn the vertex colours it has to approximate… -
Re: simple 3d painter with shader support
Thanks Fordy, that worked. Bug 1. Yes, the TGA is flipped (vertically) in the preview window. It is a 24bit uncompressed TGA saved by XNView. Another couple bugs, minor things I can work around... Bug 2. I've assigned a Multi/Sub-Object material to the terrain. Two IDs, each with an empty diffuse Bitmap, one named… -
Re: New portifolio site.
a porti-folio, huh? handy to have around. ok wisecracks aside, qube's got good comments about making sure the elements all lined up, that's important. "game art goodness" is a little trite, just go ahead and call it Elliotte Bagg's Portfolio. the site does load very quickly, but cholden's right, it really ought to be html.… -
Re: Uv Mapping a building
Here are some quick ideas I had: 1) Use a tiling brick texture. Not everything has to fit inside the 0-1 bounding box space, its fine if bits and pieces hang way off to either side, so feel free to break out of the bounding box if you need to. 2) If for some reason you MUST have everything inside the 0-1 bounding box area.… -
Re: Design my logo and win a Nintendo DS bundle!
Thanks MoP, JBoskma for your comments, especially appreciated considering you are both very talented artists. I have to agree with Jzero. Pick one or pick none (although you should have left an out for youselves in the informal contract you posted here). I have to mention that not abiding by the terms of your own "contest"… -
Re: Painter giving me some blacks in the normal map??
anything * 0 = 0 = black which rather suggests the steel rough material is a bit shit -
Tutorial - "Holy Crap! I lost all my work!!"
I posted this on GA.org, but I'll share with ya'll. The best protection from loosing your work is iteration saving. OFTEN. Although you can't protect yourself from spontaneous disk failure. That being said here is a tutorial on recovering Maya Ascii AND Maya Binary files. It is really easy to do, but will be tedious. This… -
Re: Mirroring and stacking UVs leads to tangent discontinuity and seam
Gotcha, after your response I kept trying and found an easier way to fix the seam without the shader tweak. I kept the mirrored uv shell in a tile to the right of the 0-1 tile and made sure the uv's weren't reversed (they were blue in Maya instead of red like I had before). Then in Unreal I could set the X-axis tiling mode… -
Re: Feedback on Darius model
You can post the link otherwise he is talking about this one i believe. It helps us so now that we have the source material we can better provide feed back for you. You are using Blender? Here is a full video guide that you should put time into, i have never used this but with this much effort by the presenter i am sure… -
Sketchbook: Zaki Saati
Hello everyone, this is my first post in this community. In this series of posts, I am hoping to document a personal project entitled "Gallerie Nocturne". The idea was floating in my mind for many years, I am glad to finally have the time and energy to start this project. To begin, here is the concept art of the exterior…
