Re: raul's game art
Hey guys, i ended up doing the cushions in xsi. I left them all as quads, so i may take them to zbrush and detailing there. Dont ask why, i just found it very difficult to get the little shapes. In xsi, i ended up making a pattern. I had 3 major patterns. The other variation i just kinda modeled it by hand on the final… -
Re: Alley Scene
Looks like a good start. Big kudos for doing the rough composition before you start your assets. That's good workflow for sure! :) I would throw some quick lighting in there to see where your shadows will fall. The reference image is overcast but you'll probably want a stronger directional light in your scene. The… -

[ QUOTE ] hobodactyl Things that are important when baking a normal , it reduces agony. 1° Reset the xform to elimate artifacts during the bake. 2° Make sure the lowres silhouette covers most of your hires mesh , otherwise u get hard edges. 3° Assign smoothing groups that match the material ID´s. 4° don´t collapse… -
Re: Render to Texture and UnrealEd
Thanks for the hasty reply arshlevon. I changed the Mapping Coordinates -> Object -> Use Existing Channel (wasn't turned on before) -> Channel: 1 AND Baked Material Settings -> Output Into Source I get the first image. So I seperate the two (holo and the base) and try a lightmap on the base and get the second image. Now… -
Re: recommend me a super comfy chair....
OMG pliang, is that your set up? That would destroy my neck. MY SCMs are twitching just looking at that picture. I would highly recommend dropping the cash for whatever works best for you. For me, I got a Lifeform midback chair. It was expensive (1300$) and worth every penny, I prefer it to the aeron, it has a forward tilt… -
Re: game industry... questions
Daz: I'm not suggesting that anyone ever purposely plans two career paths, or intends to hop careers after a few years in games. I'm saying that in answer to Jarrods question no. 2 - besides the obvious skills base and industry recognition benefits that a conventional arts based degree confers (over a games based degree… -
Re: Polycount 3.0 design restrictions
A couple more notes about these technical restrictions. Since some of you don't know how "bonus columns" work, here's an example: size your browser down to 800x600 and visit this page on CollyLogic. Then maximize your window. See that third column that magically just shows up? That's a bonus column. It's a bonus for… -
Re: Compositing Blender Question
I suspect you'll get more help with a sample blend file (you can drag-n-drop a ZIP to attach it here) and letting people know the exact version of Blender you're using. -
Re: (WIP) Crashed Spaceship and Dead Astronaut
Yes I see your points, the general composition I've decided on is that the spaceship crashed through the ceiling but not all the way so bits of it are hanging through a hole in the ceiling which is also where the lighting for the scene comes from. As for story, I've decided that the astronaut survived for a little while… -
Re: Gran Turismo 5
I agree it's disappointing there's no cockpit for every car, in fairness though, a lot of the cars on the list just don't have interiors worth modeling. Forzas car list is pretty much old cars or new cars. Both of which have plenty of interior character worth modeling whether that's the old school interiors in the old…
