Re: Ruah Low Poly Art
So, on to the workflow! It varies a little bit depending on the objects (I use3ds Max by the way...). But I'll start off with 1)landscapes Triangulate a plane with many subdivision and then use soft selection to make hill etc...Then cut off the bits you dont want and add a noise modifier. Easy! 2)Rocks I start off with a… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
I would say it is a little more complicated then that, I would never call a Silent Hill game simple yet making it more lively would be a huge mistake. I agree with your point that game art is integral to the design and should enhance the experience, but there are many ways to accomplish it and many forms which that can… -
Re: King Tiger (Porshe turret)
I agree with Johnny, its just ugly and from any other distance besides run-you-over-close it starts to look horrible. You need to remember that not everyone is going to stand right next to the tank and even if they do they might not take the time to appreciate the detail. But they will notice a ugly distorted mess rolling… -
Re: RPG House - Hand painted textures
i wouldn't post this as a portfolio piece, it's still unfinished. -add in a door -fix the wooden beam texture -add in window stool, window skirt things other things i strongly suggest: -add decals or a blended texture with grime, dirt, moss, etc. -add some missing roof tiles (halfway in the roof) and maybe something like… -
Re: id tech 5?
Nah, once we had picked up the tools (and our tools guys were refining them based on our feedback where possible), it was pretty fast. We had 2 people working on megatexture terrains full-time (I was one of them) - the leveldesigners created heightmaps initially, then after playtesting we created unique lowpoly meshes from… -
Re: R
250K is more then enough for Pete's sake on what they're trying to do, even 100K would have been enough! Sorry, but as much as I wanted the Rep to be funded, it's outrageous. A bunch of peeps who people haven't heard about in the industry, prototyping a 'workable' version of the game on the Iphone for a tag of 500K, and… -
Re: Explain AI Pathfinding?
Not sure, I haven't used the built-in navmesh, but it looks decent. I ended up writing my own system before Unity's own was released. It lets me export the navmesh info from modo to Unity (via XML). It's not very advanced but it works for me. All pathfinding uses a lot of distance calculation, that's part of how it works… -
Re: Buffalo taxi, character advice/feedback appreciated
Its a catchy name "buffalo taxi" I think splatter around the light is too overwhelming , its like a moth effect you cant stop watching it Looks to me that buffalo is taking a break not sure if this is intentional but its in contrast with fast walking guy in front Maybe give buffalo some shine to the eye bring life back to… -
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 CG Teaser is out
Well like you I've worn many hats to get where I am, I even started as a vfx artist and helped out where i could in concepting and environment work on the overlord and silent hill series before moving onto characters. But I still think its a bad way to look at it. If everyone thought like that your end product is going to… -
Re: Slicing a level up in Max before exporting to a game engine
Track side objects like buildings, grandstands, garages... should be separate objects. Collision surfaces like walls should also be separated from driving surfaces. My experience is only in building real racetracks, so if you are planning some fantasy mountain course or something then you can probably split things up and…
