Hello lotet, Thank you for the graph. It motivated me to work harder :) There are many artists that I look up to and want to try everything. I paint a lot of anime girls in my free time when I am only in the mood to draw something. people like Paul Kwon, Alchemaniac, Eric Muentes, but also work from games like Skullgirls…
I was thinking about that last night passerby. I can just have all the tiling textures in map channel 1, masks in map channel 2, and light map in 3. I originally had the 3 brick textures with their own UVs because the bricks were different sizes on the texture sheet. I just need to match the scale of them in PS which I…
@Eric Chadwick So as far as the models and textures go nothing is from the asset store, we use the asset store for systems that save us time like water, weather systems and shaders. I did buy some diffuse textures for grass but I had to change so much to them and create extra textures to get them to work with other shaders…
I just happened to notice this being mentioned (I made that). In regards to your initial question @oraeles77, there is a plethora of knowledge on the Polycount wiki as well as in the google and youtube wild. However, as a self taught artist as well, I can appreciate your desire for a more "controlled" process document…
Hi Eric, a few things I noticed: your resume and email links are at the far edges of the screen rather than being in line with the images, I'm not sure if that's intentional, though I would imagine not. I'm using firefox btw Your logo background is a very slightly different shade of grey than your background, which would…
You need to just start painting stuff. Work on your crate. Gather a bunch of images of other people's work and study them to see what they're doing and start posting your progress. Study where people put in their highlights and shadows. What do they do when dealing with metal vs wood? Even better, watch time lapses of…
I had this over Xmas when we lost my father in law and it rocked me hard. He completely changed in 6 months from this hulking South African that everyone looked upto, but that's brain cancer for you. It does come back eventually and if you don't want counselling then you gotta self medicate. You gotta tell yourself you are…
[ QUOTE ] FF = Final Fantasy, the Cid avatar you are using. I just mentioned you SHOLD"nt throw another pop culture icon in the mix or people will take you less seriously. [/ QUOTE ] Meaning...what? Cid is too hip for you? And who isn't taking me seriously?? Not quite sure where you're comin from there... [ QUOTE ] Souls…
Eric my current tutorials are videos of my general. You can find the first one in it's unedited form in the thread, but the rest will hold off till I get back from Europe and GDC and have time to edit and add audio. Also, I hear you on the layout, but my thinking about justifying it right is that will let your brain leave…
In the low-end ps2_0 profile you have 64 ALU instructions, 3dc/NM take 2 more (if you renormalize already, 4 more if you don't). 4 instructions is not a lot, however it could exceed those 64 if shaders are at limits already. This case is unlikely, and by the sound of it your programmer has some unknown other reason being…
