Re: Mesh Building and Unwrapping Help [Specific]
I think a lot of the answers to your questions are simply a matter of preference. Game modeling has some strict rules, but with high poly modeling to the best of my understanding you have a bit more freedom. That depends on how you want it to look. Are you okay with having identical columns? Are there any asymmetrical… -
Re: Looking for a critique and in a hurry!
$!nz - the middle row of windows have sheets of ply wood covering them from the inside... but since a lot of people are thinking its brick i think i'm going to separate the boards a little so you can see a gap. Scooby - Higher rez is no problem, do you think its too small. this was the size i was planing on turning in… -
Re: 3DSMax8 baking normalmaps in greyscale
I agree it catches way too many people off guard, they should just disable it and give a progress bar instead. To explain it: That's the actual output of all the maps combined (same thing as running a "complete map). What it shows is a full render of the object, then based on your settings it saves out pieces of that… -
Re: Painting with Mudbox - Stretched Projections, How To Avoid?
in this case, both, I suppose, here is an example of the diffuse map only with all other supporting maps disabled: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1483473/images/diff_example.png This is on a half-sphere, or the end of a propane/gas capsule, and the seam is where the UV seam runs through of course, but this helps to see the glare… -
Re: Faun Girl - WIP Thread
Dang, I really let this thread go... I've been forgetting to update it! Quite a bit of progress has been made, currently painting her diffuse map. Let me know if you guys notice anything that looks off! For reference, here is an old image of her high rez fur before some friends of mine advised me otherwise, because I just… -
Re: UDK Materials, wanting to go beyond the basics
Another thing to keep in mind is we repurpose maps all the time. It may look like we're saving time by "adjusting" a map in a material but a lot of times it's done to save memory. Yeah I could export this diffuse map and turn it red and add contrast but that'd take up more memory. If I have the instructions to spare I'll… -
Re: Character and Enviroment freelance fee's
It really depends on a few things, namely: * Art Style, is this a cartoony rts game, or is it an photoreal shooter? * Model complexity, not every model is created equally, you could expect to charge a lot more for a BFG, than a simple shotgun, and even less for say a pistol, just because its a weapon doesn't mean it would… -
Re: Anyone seen nutsy? A model I've been working on
Lately i've been forced to learn how to tone down on the texturing due to the style the artists here at work have. When i was making skin i just tried my best to replicate the skin shader used in the incredibles. Honestly most of the time there isn't even textures involved. Skin for example, is kept down to the absolute… -
Re: Amazon Fighting Princess (final portfolio piece)
thx to all [ QUOTE ] My main crits: The pose and camera angle are making her right arm (on our left when looking at the image) seem tiny and not attached at all, I'd maybe try to find a more natural looking pose or camera angle for that. [/ QUOTE ] I really like the pose, but I woke up this mornig and hated the camera… -
Re: Modern colour theory
Notes on "Art Tutorial" by Arne Niklas Jansson (androidarts.com) This tutorial makes many good points and wise comments, and I'd have no problem recommending it provided people make use of the following footnotes: Terminology "Saturation - How much color there is. Grays aren't saturated. Neon colors are very saturated. In…
