Re: Mythic Tomb - Michael R.
You are now in a struggle to death against Birdmans tomb: http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=198587&an=0&page=0#Post198587 First thing I would do is look over your polydistribution and redistribute some of them to match the style of the concept better. Take another look at the concept, much of what makes… -
Re: Making simpler dxt texture makes it higher quality?
Not quite... the texture gets chunked up into small grids. There's an algorithm that then tries to preserve the gradient of colours across that grid (and at the same time, it compresses the depth of those colours down - red and blue more so than green because the human eye is apparently more finely tuned to green light and… -
Re: Blended normals hack for fake SSS
In addition, Image-based reflections (env maps) are technically closer to 'specular' and more physically correct than what most games use. "Specular" is a fake concept used to make up for our inability to diffuse light and reflections in real-time. Cubemaps are also more expensive than specular. So your analogy really… -
Re: How do I find a balance between time and quality when creating game assets for an indie game?
the best use of time is to pay a little money for somebody else's time. i.e. buy some models somebody else made. if you have to do a little work to make everything consistent with your art style that is still usually a lot faster than making everything from scratch avoiding sculpting and baking will save some time. how… -

Re: [WIP] Aircraft altimeter
Another important thing is most texture baking tools will treat glass as a solid surface, so an ambient occlusion bake will just be black inside there. So either hide the glass when baking AO, or find a baker that ignores glass. -

[ QUOTE ] Honestly, the entire design is shit, not just the smiley.

Re: [COMPLETED] Tanah Airku (Final Major Project)
Hello @Noren ! Sorry for the late reply! I was quite overwhelmed with the tasks at hand so I left Polycount for a bit to settle them first! For now, I will keep it as it is but I will take this advice for the other assets! Because maybe i want to put something between the cupboards later that would expose the sides.…
