I asked him what is he doing and he says the hardware works fine and xp installed just fine. I ask him what he is doing again. he asks me to…
So I feel like I'm almost there, but still having some issues with this. I'm not sure why it's started happening now, but the foliage alphas are casting harsh shadows on to the rest of the mesh. Weirdly enough the shadows look great from afar, but become a problem when close. Here is is from afar. It's pretty much the…
How about UVing each of the three "bands" in a straight line, not as four curvy disconnected "leafs"? And like chronic suggests, bake an ambient occlusion map for a painting guide. In Photoshop if you want clean curved lines, you could use Paths instead of just hand-painting it, since they offer bezier handles for…
Thanks again, I'm afraid I'm still having problems baking the map - now I'm getting weird lines in the map (see right side of screenshot). It's a very similar test piece, no thickness, and one single UV shell like you instructed. I don't understand where those lines come from - I double checked the UVs with a texture in…

Here's a little introduction onto what these are and why I am sharing them. If you want to skip to the nitty gritty information skip down to the first line of bold text that's where all the good stuff is. I originally wrote The basics. a couple months back as a means to show people a way to progress in their art. Since it…
I always gripe about stuff in the Halo series, but yet I've played them all front to back beginner to legendary in co-op (10x better than played alone)...so obviously they've got something going on that I like. I really enjoyed the trailer, despite being cheesy at times I thought it felt quite epic. A nice display of…
