Here is a more recently made character. 8) The character is 9322 tris with 2048*2048 diffuse/specular/normal maps. The machete is 748 tris with 512*512 diffuse/specular/normal maps Used; ZBrush, Topogun, Maya, Xnormal and Marmoset.
Hence why I was asking of what was going to be going on in the room. A pink room with toys around a naked girl who looks like she is 8. VERY questionable content imo. Fix those changes to Im not disturbed looking at this thing~~
Yes, this is essentially what happens. The content is baked at a much higher bit depth, but converted to 8 bit or 16 bit depending on your file type/settings. With dither on, it will add some random noise to prevent banding/stair stepping artifacts.
Try giving your lightmap uv's some padding around their edges; it might be an issue with the mip-mapping that UDK tends to do. 4-8 pixels inset from the border should be enough depending on texture size and see how that works.
Sad to say this but it's not good enough to get into the industry yet. Plus, making something like that shouldn't take you more than a couple of days at most. The games industry is very competetive and studying it for 8 months casually on and off is basically nothing.
Well, the bevels on your highpoly are too tight to bake well, and those artifacts you see might be from using a 8 bit texture, try baking a larger 16 bit normal map, use TIFF if you are using xNormal.
Awesome! Hope this comes out well, the RX-8 is one of my favorite cars. Ditto what was said above though, get some blueprints in your scene (if you don't already), will make your life sooooo much easier.
What I meant was, the red button looks like it has 8 horizontal slices. Is there a special reasoning behind cutting it up like this? Seems like it could be a way to preserve a gradient when scaling it vertically, if there was a vertical gradient in the source art.
Did Fight Club teach you nothing... "You can run water over your hand and make it worse or you can use vinegar to neutralize the burn" Moose, I think it was 8 cups of some kind of cooking oil?
