Re: Sketchbook: Alismuffin
@Kerroh Yeah make a sketchbook! The more you make art the better you et. The more time you spend hating on your art and feeling too timid to draw, that is time wasted! Push forward not backwards! :D @Hazardous Thanks so much :) You are one of my biggest inspirations so it's really an honour that you wold take the time to… -
Re: Rear faces of modular geometry - keep or delete?
So if the backfaces are still there it might reduce bleeding in the lightmaps? That's actually an interesting thing to try out. I know that ProBuilder for Unity mimics Valve's Hammer Editor in lots of ideas. The backfaces of geometry created with PB can be set to "invisible" so they aren't in the final light map. I don't… -
Re: UE4 Archviz Office
thanks a lot for that feedback! polygons: Yes, good points! I will need to put some more love into the wires and cables, as well as that straight edge on the wall. @dargor5: I´m using: 1 directional light, 1 SkyLight (with HDRI) and 2 spotlights in front of the windows with quite a large radius. (As well as… -
Re: texture art test wip (update: Toilets!!)
If you're using different bitmaps for top vs. bottom, then use the same UV channel, just a different material for each. Multiple UV channels are needed only if you have multiple bitmaps in the same material, like an untiled lightmap vs. a tiled diffuse. The more UV channels you use, the higher the vertex count of the… -
Re: Low Res Environment
I notice you have lighting the image as well - is this include in the specs? Many current gen games use lightmaps, and this perhaps should also be considered, as you wouldnt get a ps2 game with immaculate lighting without using up extra resources. Just for reference, many assets in the spiderman 2 game (which is free… -
Re: WIP Game character
Hey Sevenfingers. Glad to have you aboard my thread:). You're right - I've could've planned the density better, but in retrospect it was enough to get the sculpt detail i wanted. The polycount isn't an issue for the game. This character has 3 LOD levels (5170, 2600 and 1500 tris), and we won't be displaying that many units… -
Re: Hangin' around in the Dungeon.
Alright, this is almost done. If all goes according to plan, tomorrow will be wrapping up the bulk of the work left, with another day of final touches. Is six days too long for something like this? I'll admit, I started off being way too tedious and now I'm taking shortcuts like a bat out of hell. Also, a lot of odd spots… -
Re: UVAutoRatio 2.0 Pro UV-tool Plugin for Maya Released
Humm , I think Maya has automatic layout already. The plugin work really fast for very very high polygon model with lots of uvshells. Also I think the power to set the target of texel ratio is rather nice. Very useful when you have already done some part of the model and later you need it to be the same texel ratio to that… -
Re: UV layout tips and tricks thread
Automatic solutions never seem to do as good a job. Also they tend not to take into account the methods in which an artist would prefer to paint various sections (ie. you can get away with more stretching in less detailed areas, and you usually want to paint things on a certain angle to make it easier on the brain when… -
Re: pico for Maya
Yeah, it was pretty quick to learn, here are some more: - Would be great to have a better way to select the post process effects and delete it, I am now using the keyboard to find it, hehe, and then selecting it by name and deleting the node. - For the blending things, would be nice to have modulate 2x or modulate 4x…
