Art Assets
Hey guys, I know for mobile you want 256 x 256 textures and stuff, and polycounts should be really low, but for modern PC games like Battlefield I have no clue what texture sizes and triangle counts are best. I am part of a community game project and I will most likely be doing some of the art assets. It will be done in… -
Re: How to lose sales
A game isn't just about graphics though. That's what I keep trying to get at. I did throw in some examples of graphics between systems, but the next gen consoles will also allow for more content in the game. As I mentioned in BF3, the PC gets 2 more objectives on most maps. They get more vehicles. In MAG, they were able to… -
Re: Emissive on textures
Okay so I have a few more questions that popped up and wondering about. -Since UDK has lightmass and you can use emissive textures for lighting, in what cases do you not even use a actual light. I have some blue lights in a texture with use emissive checked and it does a decent job of bouncing that blue light. What can… -
Re: Rocks
Haha, thanks mannn XD Yeah I'm trying to keep this low poly - according to our guidelines I could technically use up to 500 tris on this prop, but this particular concept looks fairly simple so I don't think I'll need much more than 100 - I'm hoping to make this pop through the texture. I have a question about texturing. I… -
Re: getting Normals to bake and give smooth edges
Here's another quick test, this time baking in 3dsMax. Map baked using Scanline. Projection modifier cage used. Padding of 4 used in the RTT dialogue. Ample padding in the UV layout. You can set up the template size in the UV editor: 256, 512, 1024, etc. and change the grid settings to single pixels, (I use the… -
Re: Best workflow for gravel-roads?
Yeah, I'd probably go with the "scatter meshes over a plane" solution - that way you can use instanced geometry, maybe make 4-5 different little stone models of different sizes, then scatter the small ones a lot, and a lower count of scattered large rocks. Then you can edit the instanced geometry to scale/deform it until… -
Re: Seams...
The bigger the texture map and the object, the more padding. A 2048 will may mip first to 1024, then to 512, then to 256. On a large object like a building, this may still be taking up a fair amount of space on the screen, and the mipping will be visible if you only used padding of 4 or 6. For a small prop that's using a… -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
When thinking about edge padding what you really need to consider is mip-mapping. 4 pixels of padding at 2048 may not be enough, when that texture mips down to 256 or so those 4 pixels will be sub-pixel size as 256 is 8 times smaller than 2048. 8-16 pixels for 2048 is probably a bit safer. Naturally when an asset is using… -
Re: Vahl's work thread (aka wtf have I been doing) - Large pics
thanks all :) swizzle : upper right is specular :) what you thought was spec is the actual gloss map (3 point shader features colored gloss, which allows for great effects) warning : big pix so this is a one week experiment, I don't have much time to do a full scale enviro because of work, so I have to try and go as fast… -
