Hi, Is it possible to use other concept artist's new concept pieces ? Is just so nice that one of my frds just does a new piece that fit this contest :P Answer: All work must be original to the contest.
Making normal maps a requirement pretty much sunk the elemental contest. I'd suggest using CGchat as an example of how to successfully set up a challenge. They allow normal maps but do not make it a requirement. It allows people to choose what they are most comfortable with. I've always approached the contest with the…
Is there any news or post detailing what new features or planned features will be in the next and or future marmoset toolbag releases? I love what it can do, the simplicity at which it can work...but i feel that its more geared towards character/weapon/single asset turntables and nothing else. Say for example...an…
Yes theoretically it is not correct but what you are doing is to make the lowpoly look like the highpoly.. but it is NOT the highpoly.. so there must be something wrong about the lowpoly + nm. Your problem demonstrates one of these cases. What you see is a correctly baked normal projection but your mind tells you "no no,…
To play somewhat devils advocate as an outsider to facebook. (Although as an outsider i do lack any kind of insight into what the users may or may not want.) There must be a reason why turnbased / slow games are popular (?) on facebook, as opposed to something that is more demanding in terms of focus. As someone who plays…
I understand what you're saying and how uv works but I still have no idea how can I achieve THIS baking this onto this it just baffles me and I have no idea how to grasp that concept so I cant figure out how to achieve that. how can I achieve the "3D look" on a really flat looking mesh. So far it literally looks like a…
[ QUOTE ] Surely rendering displacement from your normalmap and baking AO from the displacement is easier than manually painting out errors? If not then I must find a way to make it so... 'cause a workflow that involves painting out errors around every rivet just can't be the best answer. [/ QUOTE ] The baking displacement…
Yeah, the range kinda sucks. I still need to play around with the engineer more... and I must be stupid because I can't figure out to jump with my rocket launcher for the soldier... I just end up giving myself damage. I must say, for a beta this game is great. Seriously, don't know why they have the 'beta' tag on it…
That's the universe presenting opportunity for you. Just make sure you go for that rate in the scammers description and not a penny less :) Seriously though, you have to think about managing peoples expectations. Everybody likes to see a person improve. If you see a person improve, you know they must be smart. But if they…
Issue #1: You're making a text based adventure game that requires art This seems a bit odd to me, for an artist this sounds like a wonderful idea. You would have the ball in your court so to speak, you could write up all the story (it's easy to find writers), do all the art and have the game 90% done on your end then when…
