Re: Improving 3D terrain quality - Object space and bent normal maps?
I never see a baker that would bake object space bent normals. But assume it's still possible to do as post editing with 2d compositor probably or with node based shader system bending object space normals. I never tried this although . Baking soft usually do tangent space bent normal maps as far as i know. An advantage of… -
Re: Mesh resolution
This is probably clear, looking at your WIP, but just in case: Meshes with such high polycounts are usually not authored like that. What you are seeing is likely the result of extracting the mesh from a game (since it's all triangles down the line) or the meshes being triangulated at a later point in the workflow to… -
Re: Games I never finished & will never play again
There are a number of games that I don't finish, usually due to frustration or boredom. I bought Homeworld 2, but got frustrated on an early level. I LOVED the first game. I bought Full Spectrum Warrior, but grew bored with the gameplay. There doesnt appear to be any advancement of your arsenal / characters in the game,… -
What type of bake is this?
Hello, im new in the forum ^_^, i usually make models in which the bakes will be distributed to texturers who have to carry out the work using the bakes in photoshop, i have come across other people's bakes in which everything looks very good, the folds themselves are very defined and with good shadow, does anyone have any… -
Re: Interview Advice
The interview is for a small studio here in Dallas called Escalation Studios, they usually do outsource work for the bigger studios here (Gearbox) and they also do Wii and Iphone games. Since the place is pretty small all I really have to get to know about them is to look over every word of their website, which I have… -
Re: Argonath King-like face, carved rock thing...
With all those cracks, I'm surprised the whole nose is still there and perfectly round. The iffy form might be forgivable if it fits the ancient architecture of the environment you're planning, as oldschool rock carvings aren't always known for accuracy of form and proper anatomy, but otherwise I'd say it's something… -
Re: Getting a "print" of a 3D model?
Two options: You can go the engineering way, in which case you put in a block of metal, and out comes a billet steel skull. Though these usually require a very different file type - BREP or some CAD (dwf might work). If you can find one, consult your local machine shop, they'll tell you more about this, what you need to… -

Re: Finally after 10 years of weekend work - NoseBound is out on Steam!
Yes, the main learning experience would be not to fall under the idea that third party plug-ins can solve a big portion of the code and you can rely half of your game on that. It usually ends in a time sink of patch fixes, updates, and dependencies hell. I think is better to try to code everything yourself and the only… -
Re: Andor likeness
@Eric Chadwick Thanks! :) I ended up using metahuman skin material, which I then edited for my needs. I know it's not the best idea, because Metahuman stuff has so much “bloat”, but for this personal project that I aimed to keep short it was good enough. I edited the material by disabling a lot of stuff and inserted my own…
