Re: Rendering Lowpoly normalmaped Char
are you guys sure it's maya's fault? because i clearly remember that back in the stone age of normal mapping, clever people were releasing scripts and shading networks for maya 4/5-ish releases that rendered normal maps just fine. maybe, just maybe there's info about this still to be found on bay raitt's spiraloid forum… -
Re: [WIP] Old Fire Station
I took a few pictures of a stone wall section with my cellphone and then used Meshroom to assemble the 3D Scan. I was not expecting the result to be that realistic. It looks good. I'm not sure how I would make it tileable though. I might try Alchemist eventually. For visual elements that need not be tileable, like windows,… -
Re: Whos playing hl:Alyx?
I've been playing it on my old WMR headset, on my 3 year old computer with a gtx1070, and it works really well. It's a good feeling to actually peek around corners, trading shots with a heavy, trying to flank them. It's a bit inconsistent though, most places are really good looking, and then you find a stone wall that is… -
Re: Leadwerks engine sample level design: The Zone
This looks pretty neat so far! Kinda reminds me of ARMA II which I really like from the point visuals. Something really important you need to keep up with when it comes to rail tracks: in one shot you have your rails on a hard surface (the train station). This can't be. Rails always have to be bedded in "loose" crest /… -

Re: Bunker
it actually doesnt seem like it is made out of concrete. it almost seems like some sort of coral, or some stone that has been underwater. also, there are no definitive highlights on any edges at all, which make the entire thing seem extremely smooth. its way too bumped and the texture just seems a bit too complex. are you… -
Re: [UE4] Portfolio Improvement (improving previous pieces)
the problem you mentioned with not having enough light to show details comes up a lot. it's back to what I said about the overall look vs the little details. Basically you want to adjust your materials so that they show off their properties for the scene, not for accuracy. For example you could make your stone super shiny… -
Re: GameTextures.com - It's like CGTextures, but for video games!
Why does it not say resolution or file format anywhere? Clicked on first freebie, but there's no info. http://gametextures.com/index.php/ancient-carved-stone-path.html I have to create an account to download a sample? I think you're losing a good % of potential customers right off the bat. My thinking is, if I like the… -
Re: Head & mini guides
Cheers for the kind words! ngs616, yep! As promised here's one for displacement setup in mudbox and XSI. Again, it's pretty basic and not game art related really but hopefully someone will find it useful! I thought it made sense to bake out a displacement map on another head whilst going through the guide, two birds one… -
Re: Apocalypse diorama
i actually prefer the old road? The cracks and holes look massive and is throwing everything off scale? I would actually model the holes and cracks into the road so it isn't one massive piece of road. Also it looks to me like either the barrel is massively out of scale or the stone blocks are far too tall? I could be wrong…
