Re: Baking AO maps, when is it worth it?
I changed my method and had some better results, used an actual hi-poly to bake from, increased the rays, used a better cage. But I want to get back to this question of when you should bake them-- As Slosh implied, is it just if you're using substance painter etc? I admit to not completely understanding how AO works in… -
Re: Generic male
Yeah, go with 8 if you're making a superhero. I think the current height is fine though depending on what you're doing. 7 heads would probably be an ideal person, around 6 (this guy seems to be about 6 or 6 1/2) would be about normal maybe a little short. Nothing wrong with that. The arms are definitely long. if you cut… -
Re: How valid are statistics and reviews from GlassDoor? A pixar animator makes over 90k yearly???
$88k is what an average art lead makes industry wide. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/221533/Game_Developer_Salary_Survey_2014_The_results_are_in.php Exceptional ones make a lot more. I know several who are well over $150k+ and worth every penny. $90k for a Pixar-Quality Feature Film Animator in the Bay Area seems… -
When baking, it's shows the edge mesh with normsl maps.

Re: Disgruntled Ex-GameStop Employee Takes it to YouTube
I disagree. Had he made such a website, I probably would have glanced it over and ignored it. While this route obviously turned some people off (such as yourself and others in this thread), others obviously enjoyed it (the views on the later episodes have increased about 30% since just last night). For those that did watch… -

Re: Having trouble with this bake in Xnormal.
The way I figure it out is to regularly zoom out and view the asset from the intended distance. If it's a FPV gun, make a camera with a typical FPV placement. If you notice the edges looking tiny or aliasing, you know you've made them too hard. The issue typically stems from zooming in really far to do detailing work, so… -
Making a Real-Time Skorpion Gun (Quite Original.. I know !) - Feedback is Wanted
Hello you! I am starting a weapon project between work and life responsibilities to bring some guns to my portfolio! I will also learn modeling in Maya at the same time, since I am progressively switching from Max to Maya for work. I want to share my WIPs and my "discoveries" in the making process. You are very welcomed to… -
Re: Can you make a decent living as a game artist or do you tend struggle financially alot?
Geography would be the biggest deciding factor. Across North America you *can make a decent living in a studio, Western Europe *maybe in some countries. UK nope. If you're in Eastern Europe/Asia/South America etc, I get the impression freelancing would probably be a better choice *if you have the drive to make that work. -
Mental Ray bakes blurry AO maps?!?!?!?
Hi there, I'm in the middle of my uni project at the moment, and everything went alright up to this point... I'm trying to render AO map / complete map with render to texture for my low poly tank model using mental ray.
