Re: AkiRa's Environment Art Thread
Hey NomadSoul! first of all: thank you! :D Yeah, your absolutley right about the pillars. I think I'am going to redo them completley or atleast change them to follow the concept better. Will take on that tomorrow! The sand buildup is just a really simple shader function which sets the vertices off in the Z-axis where I… -
Re: Dwarf Fortress 2010 out, for those who care
I have to say, the adventure mode in this version is MUCH improved. I modded in lobster men as a race, and started adventuring. Upon entering the first cave I came across, I got punched in the chest by a Giantess, and proceeded to tear her head off, and use it as a projectile weapon to cripple the Giant that then came at… -
Re: Why is ptex not used in games?
From what I understand, Ptex creates a texure for each face in the mesh. That's an insane amout of texture lookups per mesh. It makes sence for high poly Z-brush / Mudbox meshes to be textured this way. But ultimatly the low poly mesh has to have as few UV sets and unique textures as posible. http://ptex.us/overview.html… -
Re: Accuracy vs time/practicality
Depends on the goal, Learning for sure, there is not such a thing as going to deep and doing it the proper way, also true for your port. But something I have learned as I do more personal projects production wise (making games) that there is such a thing as over detailing, its a calculation really when it comes to that,… -
Re: Blender 2.5 Crash Course (Not For Retards)
Yes, But; I start using 2.5 a 2 yesterday ,instead of working in 2.49. It is kinda hard to follow along the user menual that was made using blender 2.4 when you are using 2.5. Figuring the turntable rotation only on z axies from global rotation was right in front and the program version is extremely user friendly if you… -
Re: Sci-Fi Alien...Plant...um...Racer Guy
OK, well, decided on an impromptu trip to Sequoia Nat'l Forest & Yosemite over the father's day weekend, and thus totally abandoned my self-imposed deadline for this piece. Ah well. Onward, anyway... Still slogging thru the low-poly on this (any tips/tricks on doing this part quickly would be MUCH appreciated!), and I'm… -
Re: [WIP] Skull Temple
So first posted update, I haven't had a huge amount of time, but I have already made several improvements: 1. Built Tree base meshes. 2. adjusted lighting to brighten the scene and match the colour profile of the concept better. 3. Adjust the camera angle and the colour of the moss. 4. I have created a simple fog shader… -
Re: Game art
you mite want to move on to your next model you could make this look better but agin it is just a simple barrier. But learn from your mistakes. When uving which is a very important part of texturing you must make sure all your uv shells are equal proportionality. Then grow a fear of negative space. Use it up as much as… -
Re: A more "wild" Mokujin
do you have a concept you are working from ? I did a module at uni very smiler to what you are doing so i will pass on the most common feedback i got :D at the moment it is very blobby so im guessing you have gone up the sub division way to quickly , if your not new to polycount this may sound very familiar, can i ask… -
Re: Blender for modular environments, how to get the Simple Deform modifier to align to the grid?
@kaptainkernals I ran into a different problem with this which is that there doesn't appear to be any way to fit the mesh to your curve and so I'm just left eyeballing it while I try to scale it. Then I have to go back afterward and snap all the connecting vertices to the right locations. It works though so I appreciate…
