Re: How do you deal with a client that doesn't pay?
Please do this. If there is no other way you might have to sue the client, in this case getting legal advice might be necessary and it comes with financial risks. Just a crash course for legal actions - keep in mind it varys from country to country (maybe even from state to state in places like the US). Basically there… -

Re: Learning Blender and Texturing
Today I'm hitting a serious roadblock with Blender, that could be a deal-breaker. As you can see in the video below, I'm just trying to sculpt a stroke and it's freezing the software for over 10 seconds. The Alpha used is 300x300 pixels, and as you can see in the panel on the right it isn't even fully utilizing my machine,… -

Re: Jeep CJ66 - Unreal Engine 4 - Custom Normals - Substance Designer [WIP]
At Cold Iron we had our technical artist add in a mask that gives us more options for mesh decals. We can now dictate what is metal and what isn't, so we can have a divot on a surface with a metal screw in it. This is possible with the stock limitations of the UE4 mesh decal implementation, you would just have to float a… -

Re: Blast from the past, 2002
Nice! Yeah, those were formative years for me as well. I jumped onto Polycount sometime around 2001/2002. We were all dealing with normal mapping, trying to handle skin with blue-colored specular maps, and learning about subdivision surface modeling. Heady days! -
strategies for dealing with OFPA bloat and perforce?
Yesterday I was happily laying out buildings in my city map and managed to generate a single p4 changelist with over 180,000 files in it. The number of actors in my level isn't a problem in itself, where I'm getting issues is that p4 does not like having 180,000 files in a changelist and the resulting upset seems to be… -
Re: Help with textuing basics
I think it depends on the engine you are using, but for UDK I'd make the broken parts and oil/blood spills into decals. So you have a clean base material and can decide where to put the decals. Sometimes they are a nice option to cover seams between tiled surfaces and further break up the monotony. Decals should be handled…
