Re: 8bitsilence design feedback
FOURMS In all seriousness: I don't like the font, have a look around at http://www.dafont.com/bitmap.php Especially your / are ugly with the one separate pixel on the bottom. Also, you should realize that you can't fuck around with fancy fonts in most of the body because people don't have your fonts installed and you can't… -
Re: Explaination of RGB channels
RGB or RGBA channels are just the component parts of a digital image. Every pixel has a red green blue and alpha value. The channel for a color is the greyscale image made of just that value for each pixel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_(digital_image)If you've ever made a texture in a game engine, you've used RGB… -
Re: Metal Specular Maps - Your Methods
such a direction texture would likely look similar to a normal map, I think. as it would be like a rotation matrix for each pixel. as 2d rotation would be enough R/G could store sin/cos of the orientation and maybe use B as stretching factor.. two years ago I did some stuff for university where I generated such per pixel… -

Re: isometric rendering
do you really have to modify the renderer for this? cant you just render the scene and composite those "units" at the end. With renderelements you can get the zbuffer of the final scene (assuming its solid) and can reconstuct position in space for each pixel. Then check whether its valid for "unit coloring" and simply… -
Re: poor use of Photoshop in the media
there used to be a BUG in photoshop cs ( its is probably still there) where if you adjusted the hue and saturation too much a couple of white pixels would turn into this PORN-LIME-GREEN but really just a couple of random pixels not everythign that was white. on the official promotional website for "Team America World… -
Re: Example Next Gen environment art
I believe the reason the gloss maps are different per engine is the render engineer uses different values for what a grey pixel is. He needs to set a baseline on the game so the shader knows how bright medium grey pixels are, then you can tune the shader in game if you're lucky and modulate the gloss map from it's min and… -
Re: THoughts on the future of the Industry.
2d games are dying out because the old-generation game artists (dinosaurs) have either moved on and are doing something else... or are in a much higher position in the industry. Very few people have pixel art skills in today's field. It's simply a lot easier to develope a game in 3d because the general tools/production… -

Re: Projection painting in Maya
I'm still not following the whole cropping thing. Keeping aspect ratio I get. Then another issue would be getting pixels/uv space(texel) to match between original UV layout and the new projection UVs. Maybe this is why you crop some how? In most cases with this method you probably get a higher pixel/uv space value on your…
