your over-thinking it, also modular dosnt mean you need to import hundreds of pieces into udk, you can build it as one mesh in max or maya, and just have lots of different pieaces share the same UV space, and for large areas doing a lot of mapping to tileable textures and trim sheets. can bake AO to the vertex colour also…
[ QUOTE ] Concept artists aren't usually expected to have any 3D skills. [/ QUOTE ] But it certainly can't hurt (as long as said 3D skills are up to par of course) to have some extra skills to contribute. From what I've read alot of concept artists also double as texture painters later on, or just as needed. There is…
Ok so I arrived in Montreal on Friday. So far Montreal has been amazing, I got a ride into Calgary from Canmore by this crazy Spanish lady who inisisted on doing 80 when the speed limit was 110 because she wanted to make the trip in under half a tank of gas. So far in Montreal, I've been traveling by bike and have seen a…
If you're not using radiosity, then just change the RGB level under the output category on your diffuse texture. If you are using radiosity, likely the reflectance of that materials is too high. Go under preferences>radiosity and make sure 'display reflectance' is checked. In your material editor. Right under the editor…

59 million domestic passangers rode airlines this month last year. Now they are saying that you have to show up 3 hours early for a domestic flight. That comes to 20,205 years of waiting every month, or if you assume an average life span of 80 years, 252 lifetimes worth of waiting every month. You can add a third to that…

Wow 120k a frame for UT2K4! Never remember it being that high, as a lot of my on screen tri count will be heavily instanced I guess it should run ok. I remember reading an article detailing the tradeoff between instancing objects or just combining them into one solid uber mesh, I think the jist was if you have 1000 crates…
Well, it's not that selfish. Pretty much the point of human existence is to procreate. Yeah, it's pretty weird that someone this old is becoming a parent for the first time, but who are you to deny her that basic human function? She might be the best mother in the world, and if she's physically and mentally stable until…
