Re: Tired Game Mechanics Discussion
Repetitive, boring tasks that seem to have no other purpose than to artificially enlarge the content. Even though they are mostly optional, they distract and you don't know it's such a kind of task before you actually started it, even worse when they have different stages e.g. first find 5 XYZ and afterwards you have to… -
Re: Unreal 4 seams at UV center edges
:poly102: You truly did. Wow. Thank you. In UDK I was checking the normal compression on import, now in UE4 I'm not getting that import option screen but occasionally seeing the message on the bottom-right of the screen telling me something imported as a normal map. The detail maps were all fine but several of the baked… -
Re: projection keyboards, anyone got/tried one?
ya tried a keyboard that uses a IR camera and a laser project before, it was could be more accurate, but i felt it was no better than just using a touch screen keyboard. Since they got no tactile feedback, and you cant touch type on them, so feature wise there worse than just a touchscreen keyboard, since those are the… -
Re: game industry!? :( Tell me the truth.
It's a job. Yes, it's a cushy job because you get to sit in a chair in front of the internet watching movies, listening to music and out of your mind all day, but it's still work. And there are plenty of good, family men in this industry. Right now, your portfolio is a tree. Get on that. Skill is a sacrifice. Working in… -
Re: How to bake an ambient occlusion map in Max8?
Max 8 did have a problem with Skylights and normal maps (Mental Ray might have be fine). The problem I always got was nasty artefacts, but this could be fixed by using Global Supersampling. The nice thing about this method is that it renders much faster than a skylight with bounces and supersampling, so you can play with… -
Re: Game Trailer: Movie Trailer Quality
i thought i was pretty corny. almost like it was a paradoy of an action movie trailer. >insert gutair riff here. i expected him to jump out of the plane at the end on a snowboard chugging a moutain dew while the annoucer dude says "whos bad?" and fisher says "who do you think?" and then an explosion fills the screen with… -
Re: Hard crits needed on DS chars.
Looks like great start so far. A few things though. At 500 triangles she would be 1/4 of the total triangles that could be drawn on the screen. So the first thing i would consider doing is bringing it down to around 300-400 depending on how many you want on the screen at once. For the texture the biggest you should ever go… -
Re: DUDV maps?
Think of it as screen-space displacement. The maps tells the renderer how many pixels to shift the background, red for left/right, green for up/down. It was also used in Doom 3 for stuff like hot gasses that warpedstuff when you look through it. You can simulate it in photoshop using the distort->displace filter. From the… -
Re: Apps and Androids
hey I work for neonplay ( http://www.neonplay.com ) making apps and I am the only artist at the company so Ive got a few apps under my belt now :) . Its not too difficult really, just keep polycounts low and textures in power of 2 and remember that you probably want to keep the game low in size so that people can download… -
Re: Aerodynamics Lab
I'm going to be working on this again seeing as I'm not doing much. Here's the redesign of the hologram machine, texture not yet 100%. There will be a couple other computers on the platform with it. The WIP high-poly for the hangar door beneath the control room. A scissor lift for the testing area, floating geo and all.…
