Re: Jacob Minkoff on "no business being good"
I think he makes a good point -- when people work within the constraints of having to produce a commercially successful film/game that appeals to a wide audience, and they go above and beyond and make something legitimately great, that's pretty fantastic and should be commended. But I disagree that such projects are more… -
Re: UE4 Mobile Stylised Asset Dev
Hey cheers for the pics! I'd forgotten about implementing more moth motifs in that way. Only note is that antennae like the ones on the Kenko Cross Mothman (yeah I went and looked it up) example are either going to increase poly count or deman usage of opacity maps. Not that thats a real problem (though apparently the… -

Re: Free tool to generate normal maps - nMaker2
Hello folks, I forgot to comment on who is my target audience with this tool! My main focus is people that need to do repetitive work, and do not know much or anything about image editing. So the idea of the tool is to be "one click". To this end the tool will have some presets options, ie. this tool is basically a preset… -
Re: How do you beat artist's block?
I remember back in the day when i was trying to do art i had this idea that it had to be totally unique and innovative, like i had to prove to myself i could create an entire art flow on my own making radically new art styles and objects. This is game art, do what works, that's all anyone wants to see. Make simple… -
Re: Normal Map Artifacts!
1) Sure you set well the projection modifier. Sure it covers completely the highpoly model. Sure you set well the smooth groups. Caution with cylindrical and mirrored UVs. 2) Try to collapse + XForm the mesh before rendering the normal map/export mesh. 3) I think the problem is that 3dsmax averages the vertex normal when… -
Re: THoughts on the future of the Industry.
[ QUOTE ] My prediction is with in the next five years the role of such talent like texture artist, modeler, animator, level designer will change into a something resembling an assembly line worker (let the flames begin). [/ QUOTE ] No need for flames. I think you're a little behind the times though. To address your first… -
Re: Land of the Dead tomorrow!
alright finally actually saw the movie and was pleasantly surprised. i put it as a close third behind romero's night and dawn... most pleased in that the commentary was sharp but not too obvious or preachy; Romero has definitely refined his filmmaking considerably in this respect. the savini cameo as well as the simon pegg… -
Re: Alex Hollenbach, aka 'Neo_God'
He hasn't posted still and no response I agree with: And: Regardless of conduct the man's trying just cause he's not a regular or part of the personal crowd here doesn't mean he doesn't have a right to request help from this site. I believe him because the accused has yet to come forward and no this is not him handling It… -
Re: Governor Palin's email was "hacked" by 4chan-tards
Jonathan: did you listen to that reverend's speech, even? He said 'god damn america' because it's killing people. Which is err.. you know.. against that commandment which instructs you not to kill? He's lamenting the death penalty, as far as I can tell. Not entirely out of line for a christian, right? Ofcourse, Palin is…
