3D Game Textures - Create Professional Game Art Using Photoshop
So I bought this book because I heard a lot of good things about it. To tell you the truth, the example steps taken are incomplete with missing information and is filled vague steps that are left for interpretation. I'll post the one Amazon book review that really struck a chord with me: "In contrast to the glowing reviews… -
Re: explain it to me like I am 5, what is a floating point render engine
Disclaimer: While I'm a programmer, I haven't written a "proper" render engine. Some of what I say is from my own experience, and therefore may be less than 100% true. With that said... First off, one thing that we should be clear on with half/float/doubles are approximations of decimal numbers. Computers don't really have… -
Re: Portfolio feedback
hey, well, in essence your work is great. From a technical point of view everything is done properly as far as I can tell. You acquired the mechanical skills .... but your work is lacking some kind of WOW effect. Every image I look at I´m getting the feeling its either not finished or it was done quickly. Maybe create… -
Re: TF2: Low Poly Project- Levels and Items!
Here's some tips to producing really low spec art: Go as low as possible. TBH, if this game were made on DS, these would be sprites because they would look better as sprites that always face the camera. But, for this example, I'll model to explain some things. Four sides looks as round as 6 sides on the small screen. So… -
Re: Typewriter lowpoly question
I think what is usually meant by that is polycount doesn't matter for rendering. Here it's not the polycount itself that I think will be a problem, but object's design. You can see everything through everything, can't just bake it to a box (like a fridge or old TV set for example). Most parts would need to be a separate… -
Preferred Game Level Environment Art Dimensions: Powers of 2 or Base Ten?
For example should a kitbash trim piece be 32x16x128 or would 25x10x100 be better? -
Re: closed
@Neox Thank you very much for your reply. I don’t have any knowledge of 3D modeling, and since I’m the one who commissioned the work, I have the modeling files. What I’m wondering is simply whether there are any issues with the current sculpt when it comes to creating a cartoon-rendering style model like the images above.… -
Albedo Creation Confusion
Hello guys, I registered to this forum to get your insight on PBR workflows and texturing for those. My question on albedo maps: Albedo If I understood the idea behind it an albedo map should contain no lighting information except the pure reflected diffuse. So should there be any gradients in an albedo color map at all?… -
maya python - read from text file, iterate through lines per keyframe and display to screen
Here's a script that will read through a text file, use line breaks as a delimiter, and show each line associated with timeline frame, starting from 0. Useful for synching animations with dialog or notes, which is really hard to do if your text is in a separate app. It's crazy that maya doesn't seem to have any native way… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Smart materials not working properly.
ok... So if i understand correctly, the Example file you guys supplied to demonstrate what ddo can do out of the box has custom curvature map you plugged which you didn't include in the source as part of the package? And is the key map to get the look you are showing off as an example? Cool! So i scavenged the forums after…
