Hey Hanpan, Here's the process I use, assuming I have my low poly mesh finalized and exactly the way I want it... Within Maya 1) Make SURE you're using ALL quads. This is important because Z subdivides every edge of your model by 2, each time you click the "divide" button. Having tris etc can produce weird results that…
John "aajohnny" Valenti created a new scene and from it spawned a new nDo2 tutorial that highlights some of the great features in nDo2 John's Overgrown scene was awesome and is a great example of how threads should go on polycount. After wrapping up that great project he didn't sit around, instead he dove right into a…

If you have experience creating fluid and responsive combat animations for 3D fighting games, we’d love to hear from you. Role & Responsibilities: *…
I'm pretty sure beautyshots from the engine would work way better than the plastic looking shaders you just applied and i have no doubt the game will look great as a whole. But just for me to understand, and please don't take it offensive. A Creature like the worm or earthelemental, took 8 days to create, revisions and…
Using prefabs is only cheating if you can't make the parts yourself. :) If I need a pair of laces for a boot, for instance, I'll use an insert laces brush. I've made many pairs of laces in 3dsmax over the years, and know I can make them, so rather than cheating I see it as using my time wisely. When insert brushes were…
Agreed, but the cultures would become vastly better at observing and drawing forms. I should probably iterate that I don't think that Asians are better at making art, or that Asians for that matter have a inherent aptitude towards the production of art.. But neither does the Almighty Gir(Or at least not that Asian are…
You can also use Designer to apply those procedural textures to a model by using masks/filters with baked textures. You just wont be painting those details by hand in designer. And the layer system in Painter is much more like Photoshop or DDO (but better IMO). Applying those materials through designer seems to me, more…
The art is great. The craftsmanship is solid, shape language is good, and material definition isn't bad (quite exceptional on most pieces actually). There is a lack of major material breakups though, seems like a lot of materials are either a shiny plastic or a shiny metal, with a sparse amount of matte rubber and the…
The simple steps to create a normal map are written in documentation to DDO: 1. On the low poly (your source model), move any occluding geometry away; effectively exploding the mesh. You can put it back together after the bake. This helps eliminate any intersection artifacts in the final bake, and gives you a clean…
