Re: Ladies & gentlemen, Unearthly Challenge is ON!
at the risk of beating a dead horse... What I am saying is that in the context of an argument that 2 4096's do not provide enough texture space, saying that every object in a scene could realistically receive the "eat 3d approach" is preposterous under the development time lines that the vast majority of games are allowed.… -
Re: Next Gen Poly Budgets
Thank you Ghostscape! This is the info I was looking for. Cheers! Thanks to Rick Stirling as well. Mr. Vig: The question actually raises more then it attempts to answer... What type of game? Portfolio piece, but shooting for a 'cinematic quality' gears-esque look. What type of engine? Unreal3 How close does the player get… -

Re: Stylistic CGFX Shader
Hi kodde, thanks for the update! but unfortunately the object's normal still need to be flipped in order for it to show the object correctly. Btw, I'm not too sure with what you said about "invert normal map functionality" because it seems like the previous version is looks better. Sorry if I'm explaining it wrongly but… -
Re: To Map or Not To Map - Modeling Mapping Question
Object Space maps give you absolute values on a normal map, tangent space normal maps or regular normal maps gives you normal detail based on the relative normal tangents of a model. Tangent space normal maps are more prone to artifacts, errors, and unsynced tangents, but are more flexible to use in game engines, object… -
Re: 3DS Max Help - UVW Unwrap Issue
The mesh was probably scaled in object space at some point. A quick way to check for this is to select your object, select the scale tool, right click the scale button to bring up the Transform Type-in and check to see if everything is set to 100. If it's not, that's probably your issue and it means it was scaled in object… -
Re: Retoplogising Floating Geometry - Help Appreciated.
The first thing you need to figure out is if you have enough polygons to have the belt as a separate object, or if you can get away with just baking it onto the character. When retopoing a character with separate parts, its easiest just to topo them one at a time. So retopo the shirt without the belt, just pretend the belt… -
Re: [UE4] Steampunk Observatory
Hey Kimon, thanks for your comments. I've tried messing more with the post process AO to try to ground the objects. I have noticed the floaty objects problem before and the AO wasn't cutting it. I even incorportated vertex painting into my floor texture to paint in darker floor tiles to fake shadow to help ground objects.… -
Re: What am I doing wrong with Tessellation?
Okay, figured out what was wrong. When I installed the new SDK build, I forgot to make an OBJECTS folder under the game folder. So, what I had was: Game>Folder_for_my_Geo Instead my folder hierarchy should have been: Game>Objects>Folder_for_my_geo I realize if you put your geo in a folder other than the OBJECTS folder, it… -
Re: Exploring the Asterix and Obelix World in 3D
Thanks @Zocky and @rollin! Yep, going to address the saturation after i've completed the main texturing of the objects. I have all the objects mainly textured now, leaving the table stool and bowls at their current stage, but going to bo in and add some crosshatching to the other ones for a bit of shadows. Also going to…
