Re: Game and Mod Development Article
Just my 2 cents (with the danger of repeating some stuff; good article btw, Chris) Think small, start small, then release. But don't make a big fuss about the initial release. It needs to make people realize how much potential your idea has, but don't create hopes you can't fulfill. Extent later on. Also think of creative… -
Re: [first post :D] Space Hotel environment feedback 🚀🕷️
Hi, nice environment so far! The first thing that pops out to me is that everything is looking really flat. I'm not really sure what your lighting set up is, but I think I'm not seeing enough shadows or AO. Maybe try to push those values a bit farther, I know interiors can be a bit tricky! -
Re: Hard Edges, UV Seams, Smoothing Groups, Cages & Baking Trouble.
First off, let me start by thanking all of you for reading and replying! I really appreciate it! JEDTHEKRAMPUS I don't actually know. I am just exporting from 3dsMax as an OBJ with texture coords, normals and smoothing groups checked, and just putting it into Xnormal. If you could elaborate on how to do it and test with… -
Re: PBR - AO - Question
You can get full black by setting the black areas as metallic. Because the albedo defines the brightness and colour of metals' specular highlights, setting the albedo to black removes all highlights for those areas. Also, if light's never ever ever going to get into those cracks, you can totally multiply the AO over the… -

Re: UTMC - Arboretum | WIP
Interesting. Basically a giant greenhouse? I don't know if you intended to leave the outside area completely barren of colors but that reminds me of a lunar setting, cold lifeless gray landscape to contrast the inner lush green setting. I only have to ask, would players ever really get to see that? Per your theme layout it… -
Blender - Parenting armature with auto-weights is just not right
So, every tutorial I see people get good results with auto-weights but I’m getting complete abhorent results. My step-by-step is: * create rigify meta-rig; * place everything in edit mode. * generate rig, apply the transforms to the model and to the controller set. * selecting model and then controller set and parent with… -
Re: Questions about hard surface modelling with mesh smooth...
hey, I spent ages trying to get it right and no doubt it is a bit of a bodged way but ya know, it worked :) the low poly cage will no doubt give me a whole new set of problems when I come to make that :/ anyway, I started off with a 36 sided cylinder. I then made a 9 sided cylinder for the cartridge holes and rotated it… -
Re: Will it ever be

This was because I realized there was nothing special about an art degree, but I still wanted an education. fact #1 Most art teachers are worse that you if you have any degree of skill. fact #2 Studio art classes are the most boring thing in the world.
