Warhammer (the weapon, not the fantasy game)
Hi again everyone, I've been neglecting my University work again and have this to show you. It's a Warhammer, or War Hammer (maybe should be two words?

Re: Normal Map Baking - Hard Edge Problem
Great question! I did some experiments and here is what I have found. Sorry if it will be confusing, I'm still working on my ability to explain such things. :p The averaged projection mesh ray distribution is not the same (at least in Substance Painter) when you use all-soft lowpoly and lowpoly with hard edges. I get… -
Re: Normal Map Issues
TLDR; Normal maps are limited in what they can do by their bitrate :) As you said, when you're using tangent space normals, it alters each vertex's normal by adding onto the model's vertex normals, so because OP split the vertex normals, the normal map is the limit to how well the split can be covered up. The normal maps… -
Re: [UDK] Helms Deep & Fort HornBurg
Man this brings me back. Good work so far. Your castle geo is the best. Good over all shapes and accurate theme. A few things though. The surrounding rock/mountain shapes, not so great. The geo is flat and it's not the right Helms Deep style. If your willing to spend that amount of geo on that many boulders in the scene, i… -

Sketchbook: Adrian Cruceanu
Hey everyone! I've been delaying posting on Polycount for a while now, partly cause I thought my work would look lame compared to the awesomness of everyone else here, but I think it's time I took the training wheels off. I'm a concept design student in my final year at Staffordshire University. I'm looking for feedback…
