Re: Pixel/Texel Density theory
This is definetly something every texture artist should keep in mind. Although all the math might scare off some artists. With the HL2 example, if you just keep in mind that a 128x128 unit poly square uses a 512x512 texture, then you can just go off of that for all the textures. So a 64x64 piece of geometry would take a… -
Re: Using specular with a roughness/metallic workflow?
IMO the typical metallic workflow in games just not physically accurate enough for certain kinds of material features. Especially grainy materials which may include shiny grains of sharp shape. Those that are not exactly micro surface imperfections roughness is representing but not big enough to take more than single… -
Re: zbrush cant increase dynamesh resolution
Update: The thing is I have a model and it’s going to be 3D printed. My main problem is that I need more detail to work. I needed the dynamesh because in a later stage I am going to separate it into different pieces in order to be 3d print ready. My error was that I didn't know that I could use boolean without the need of… -

Re: serious 3ds max uvm glitch. need help
M8ym8, your UVs aren't the issue. This looks like a triangulation issue due to the concave polygon and the fact that each software is using different triangulation methods, so they give different results. The example below shows two different methods to triangulate a mesh. There are many more. Different triangulation =… -
Re: How do Publishers/Developers deal with this?
Companies are aware and they do a risk evaluation on it. For example, it is pretty common for M-rated games that ship to Japan to cover up female nipples, where as the EU and NA counterparts show them. If people take a mod that frees the nipples for people playing on the Japanese version of the game on PC, the team will… -
Re: My Gamasutra Article: New Game Dev Paradigms, Thoughts?
I have just realized that noone has even mentioned the most famous example of a pilot game: Portal. It's funny that it took me so long to realize that Portal fits the bill perfectly; now that I think of it Orange Box's model actually makes sense. Bundling a short game representing a new IP with a more popular title seems… -

I should be able to add in tabs for different colour selection modes, but that's pretty far down on my list on wanted features. Dado: Ah! Ok gotcha. Kind of an interesting tool, but it's…
