Re: Pelt Mapping from an inner seam?
Neox: Don't know how to use it and don't have the time for it if there's a different way (hopefully). Vig: I set them up as pelt seams. I should have shown the screen shot with all blue seams. If I select face and exp. face sel to seams, it selects the faces on the back of the shell as expected. If I pelt from that it does… -
Re: Best way to unwrap this model?
does it really need thickness? If you reduced it to a plane you could do a planar map and be done. Can it be baked into normal map detail onto whatever is beneath it? Maybe bake an alpha with it so you can just use an ordinary t-shirt shaped mesh? If I had to keep it like you've got and unwrap it, I'd probably start with… -
Re: TB2 beta thread
Not yet, that bug is still in the queue. Though I did not notice any clipping issues with the shell method, unless the shell was the exact same size as the other mesh. I'll be curious to see how this works for everyone. Yes, I believe that on release the beta will auto update to the full retail copy, and if you've… -
Re: Workshop #04 - Polygoblin
I did get a crazy bake from that area (especially in the AO). To help ease it a bit, I made sure all those faces were flat. You can also try adding an edge in there to help ease the stress between triangles (You won't need to re-UV). I did a mixture of both, actually. I kept the top surface attached (but separated the… -
Re: So, I'm looking for studio work, where do I post?
Hehe, well, freelance does seem to be where things are headed but, I do enjoy the studio environment, face-to-face, smell-to-smell, I want to get strep throat from my talented coworkers. And, I mean, I will be applying to companies I'm interested in directly, once I pull together a package for them but, in the meantime,… -
Re: Knights: Spiral Islands Art dump
So Awesome! It's weird because on one hand it's one of the cleanest crab monsters I've seen but it totally does feel busy... I wonder if it's the white speks on the blue shells or that maybe there should be more of a color change in the blue as you get closer to the head. Like a deeper blue for the shells on the legs and… -
Re: Half Life 2 Ep. 2 Spoiler!!
[ QUOTE ] Antlion defense was fricking awesome, made even more badass by the Vortigaunts sudden rescue when I was at 7 health, empty of shotgun shells, and near panic at having to face the largest wave yet. I was kinda silly though . I saw the hopper mines in the bin , but I didn't recognize what they were until I was half… -
Re: Cheating girlfriend caught on the radio damn funny
[ QUOTE ] Damn, that guy wins at dumping. That kicked ass. Reminds me of something that happened here in vancouver. Wish I knew where to find the thing. It was harsher than that. The guy played a prank on his girlfriend cause she was always jealous that he might sleep with her best friend. He didn't, but called her on… -
Re: Claffy D's Deepest of Grindlifts
There is a world of difference between the way shell ejection works and the way ammunition feeding works. Suffice it to say that with the ejection port at a different angle from the barrel you would need a complex mechanism to eject each shell, and complex + fast ROF is a recipe to jam. Packing bullets into a unique… -
Re: What Does a Good UV Map Look Like?
@Eric Chadwick Thank you for the advice. I've spent these past few days trying to make my UVs perfect. I stacked the shells and tried to pack them closely. If I made another cut through the longer pieces and straightened the shells I think I would be able to pack them closer and get a higher texel density, but I don't want…
