Re: 3ds max tileable texture seam problem
this has been discussed before - point sampling removes the problem and we can only use the sampling methods hardware supplies, so for linear or anisotropic sampled textures these seams will always crop up (even with a couple of pixels of padding - in fact I have padded a lot of pixels and there is some hardware thing… -
Re: Which grapic mode (DX, openGL) does my graphic run currently?card
Hard to say, older games would always have both options open to PC platform just incase something went wrong with one system early on in the years. Older GL's had some issues, such as texture seams, blocky textures due to linear aniso, lack of proper opacity in some cases and aliasing issues, not sure if HW2 has any of… -
Re: The romance of 'Next-Gen': Where is it?
That's publisher cowardice, in large part. I'm sure a lot of game designers would love to take bigger risks with more innovative gameplay, but good luck getting funding for it. I think it's also partially another symptom of our industry trying too hard to mimic linear-experience cinema rather than truly leveraging the… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Steven Skidmore - Environment / Prop Artist
You have some great work on here but I am having the same issue as others, slow loading of images. Why not put the asset with a texture sheet next to it, with the option to click on it to make it larger. Quality over quantity. any reason why you breakdown sheet is 4.4mb PDF? I watched the tech market video, it was very… -
Re: Low Poly Barrel Critique - Work in Progress
This has come a long way, it's getting better and better! The metal hoops make it more obvious how low poly this is. The whole thing could use more sides around the circumference, wood and metal together. For a portfolio piece I wouldn't worry too much about triangle counts, except to keep it within a reasonable range for… -
Re: Weekly Substance Challenge - Week 2
To create the tarnished areas I layered different grunge maps in the albedo/base color. For the most prevalent areas I used a leaks node. For this node you need to plug in a position, ambient occlusion and curvature map. For the ambient occlusion I created an ambient occlusion generator node which uses the height… -
Re: Textel Density Division (Or I cant concentrate)
4k for 2m seems way too dense. 1k per meter would be very dense and 512x512 per m would be much more reasonable. This all comes down to how close the camera can get to objects and your intended resolution as well (720 vs 1080 vs 4k for instance). 512 per m means that framing a character (roughly 2M tall) standing in front… -
Re: Question for people in industry, has 3D got boring for you?
That ^ Softimage works on a basis of hotkeys for modeling which changed my opinion about how modeling should work. 3ds max for example has good linear logic and its tools are robust as hell, but having to click and adapt hotkeys (or hot keys that change constantly wtf), having no advanced snapping tools, an interface… -
Re: Handpainted Girl
tnx for the comments :) Sukotto: gonna look into that, i've gotten quite used to it but now that i look at it again i do agree Jon: tnx i really appreciate it (love your work btw ^^), I'm going to introduce some bounce light to the overall piece when i have most of the tones down so that should help te metal pop out a bit… -
Re: Modeling, in Maya
[ QUOTE ] I really wish we could select components and have a fall off on them. [/ QUOTE ] I checked the option box for the soft mod tool, it has a falloff curve like Max. I think that extruding in the Z direction is a tad less wonky most of the time. I end up fixing it in world space, too. There are a lot of good tools in…
