Re: A Castle Tower
Yeah... And here I go with my first question about lightmaps. I understand that the lightmap of a model is responsible for the shadow it casts on other objects and the world, as well as for the detail of the shadow it receives by other elements. I also know that UV-chunks may not be stacked and must't overlap and stuff...… -
Re: exporting alpha maps in a diffuse texture
Basically yes. But for the window/wall example, you generally use a different material for anything with alpha blending, so the window would be a separate material from the wall, and the wall would never have a rendering problem. The biggest reason to do it this way is for faster rendering... alpha blending is (relatively)… -
Re: WARCRAFT IV - 3D FANART
I don't totally agree with you on that. I know this Nexus it's a particular universe, but each character or building in it is quite specific, and if you take the "alliance" buildings, for example, they could totally fit in a Wacraft IV game / art direction. You're right with your footman example, but W3 and WoW were… -
Re: Md5/ iqm export help
How are you able to create new animations for the character model... For example say if a human model has ONLY -walkforward.md5anima -walkbackward.md5anima Do you just add a new animation such as (walksidewaysright.md5anima) and change it the same text in the cfg? And it will work ingame according to your cfg.... Im not… -
Re: Rigging a desk lamp/mechanisms for in-game usage
Here's a more specific example i threw together in Blender. Just a simple see-saw, you pull the left down, right goes up, pull the right down, left goes up. How i would i go about rigging something like that? Is my mock-up close? In this example, one half of the top part copies the rotation of the other part and inverts… -
Re: cascade question - sprite origin
This can be done with an Orbit and a Initial RotRate. Example: You set the orbit to have matching Max and Min, on Offset and Rotation, use the Initial RotRate as a negative version of the Orbit's Rotation to keep the sprite from 'moving'. Keep in mind that this is really just an illusion and if you were to look at it from… -
Re: Anatomy Practice (CRITS AHOY!)
The "Knot" you are encountering is most likely pole topology in the mesh (example image below) which doesn't subdivide nicely. Smooth it out by using a different smoothing algorith in zbrush (let go of the shift key without lifting your pen off the tablet or use the hpolish brush or change your topology). Since you're just… -
Re: Toolbag 2 is on Steam! | Marmoset Toolbag 2 | News & Announcements
8gb of ram, plenty free when trying to load a model. Nothing else hardware wise I can think of that's out of the ordinary. 2gb vram too. AMD beta drivers (7870), win8 x64.. Sure, just checked in 2.01 and its been fixed. The features I'm currently missing the most from tb1 are being able to toggle light icons and snap… -
Re: To outline or not to outline ? Need some help here.
If you're going to do an outline (which I think could really help the scene provided it's subtle), you should have it a shade darker and possibly even a slightly different hue than the texture it outlines. Not exactly sure how you would make a shader or whatever for it but... that's how it should be done! :icon15: Edit: of… -
Re: Understanding cages when baking a normal map
I'm curious to hear what others will say about this. What I am wondering right now is why your LP deviates so much from the HP. You say adding more geometry is more of a problem than a solution, but a normal map can only capture so much detail, especially when the LP and HP are so different from each other... Your cage…
