Re: Is this workflow ok? Any tips
Even in high poly work triangles and ngons are important so you don't have crazy unsustainable topology running all over your model. The all quad approach is a pointless rule that only hurts your end result and slows down your progress. It is far better to work in "mostly quads" and leverage ngons when you need them and… -
Re: UDK March Update
I'm assuming that the Realtime demo is working on the UDK's recommended requirements. Although they have said it was on three SLI Nvidia gtx-580's apparently. Was definitely three cards anyway. Bokeh from what I've been using today in the new UDK March Update, essentially overlay's a texture over where the DOF has been… -
Re: Normal Map Weirdness
A few rules you should follow before baking * Make sure you are using a projection cage. Uniform ray distance is no good for baking normal maps unless it's to a plane really. * Triangulate your mesh before baking. This ensures that the baker or game engine cant change the triangulation of the mesh and thus breaking the… -
Re: ColorID maps, 16 texture limits, and what's the deal man?
The sampler limit is a hardware limitation. There are only so many memory registers for texture calls in the GPU. Substance can do it without limit really because its pre processes all those inputs on the cpu into only a handful (1 per channel max really) actual textures that actually get sent to the GPU. What you're doing… -
Re: [Game] Blood, Sweat, Gold -- modular character system + environment
Was supposed to create a gameplay video this week, but importing and setting up all the new characters brought a number of bugs to be squashed. I'm headed out of town this week, should be *fingers crossed* a gameplay video with some commentary the following week. Maybe it's loving parent syndrome, but I can play this game… -
Re: Spec Error in Marmoset, need some help
Well, more specifically, its a small art test piece I will be doing "closer" up screen grabs of from marmoset. As for the normal map issue, I baked it all out together (explode baked), so I wouldn't think one mesh piece would be different than another. Why I am so confused, or else I would rule that in. I am not using any… -
Re: copyrights question...
But that's the thing G - I totally understand the legalese behind all this, no need to walltext us. What I am saying is that you might get a better grip on the other layers of implication this has (that is to say : the common sense behavior amongst respectful art communities) with a bit more time and experience within that… -
Re: The Other Brothers development diary
Tech behind The Other Brothers We decided to go with Unity because it's one of the "big three" (Unity, Cryengine and UDK). Unity won out because of it's incredible platform reach plus fantastic workflows. If we want it in consoles and vita and even televisions - we can! How about the rendering - what approach did we take?… -
Re: 3DS Price Drop from $249.99 to $169.99.
It's roughly half the running-time of the ds, it's the only thing that got worse, but somehow expected with the new hardware and screens. Additional extended hardware largely go completely unsupported, just look at the dsi (which had a faster cpu and more memory) and then look at how few dsi games were actually released.… -
Re: WIP Asian Street
Thanks everyone for the feedback and suggestions! I have reached the point where I am satisfied with the environment. I have included the final screenshots and a video. For some reason, the video didn't load all the way from my site, so I also uploaded one on youtube. I've created a material out of existing normals for the…
