Re: Question about 3d Models
Yeah like I said before, automatic mapping is garbage and isn't really used. UV mapping techniques vary from person to person. My personal work flow for unwrapping is: 1) Select faces I want as a UV shell 2) Planar project across an axis that can "see" the most polygons of my selection 3) Cut seams 4) Unfold shell 5)… -

Re: Wii Games
My points are: 1) It's not homebrew. You DO need to have an office and be an established developer to be granted the privilege of buying a devkit from Nintendo 2) It's a big leap of faith. #1 means you have to make a significant investment, and it's not proven that Wii owners will even pay attention even if you do jump… -

Re: UFC 79?
Oh the same subject did anyone catch the Hung Man Choi vs Fedor fight? Just a primer: Fedor is the number 1 ranked heavyweight in MMA. He's also 6 feet tall. Hung Man Choi is 1 and 0 in MMA. He's also 7 foot 2 inches tall. Amazing fight if anyone got to see it. There wasn't much else great on that card though. Back to the… -
Re: bump map vs normal map?
Basically: Yeah, they're about the same thing. A normal map stores the slope/tilt of each pixel in the texture. A bump map stores the simulated height of each pixel in the map.

Re: Texture Photography: tips and tutorials?
Yeah this is all good advice. Here is some more 1. Make sure to shoot at base ISO, usually this is ISO 100 or 200 on DSLRs. This will mean the best image quality (most dynamic range, least noise, and best color depth). 2. If there isn't enough light to get a fast shutter speed at low ISO, a tripod can be handy. If you've…
