Re: [Portfolio] Normalz
One thing i gotta say about the game models is first your polycount can be further reduced. polygons are wasted on items like the hand grenades round pin, which is a coiled cylinder, which could be made where the coils intertwine, you could use polygons to unify them , and let the normals do the job of appearance. there… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 4
Well folks, what am I doing wrong here? Tring to learn about Normal maps but I cant seem to figure out why the top portion of my model is not being part of my normal map.

Re: School game project [ A fantasy bar fight! ]

Then i copyed the normal and used the X-normal plugin in photoshop filter -> Xnormal -> Normal 2 cavity (I think i used the setings X+ Y- Z+) Then i took the cavitymap and made more contrast to it so only the highlited part whas white and the other parts black, Put the layer on… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Why do I get such strange dynomasks?
When you select UDK calibration profile then SUITE automatically checks in Flip normal Y for normal map. Make sure to uncheck it to get right normal maps if you created them in xNormal. -

What I don't seem to grasp are normal maps that are created by… -
Re: WIP -Stylized Katana Sword
For the texturing part, I was taking inspiration from an 80lv tutorial by Alice Hu, who was designing a stylized hand painted-textured Pokedex, which was similar to the style that I was going for and also created by the same concept artist. I knew I would be using Unreal for the final render because I needed to add the… -

I'm also not using a cage because I'm just baking a low poly AO here, there is no need for a cage. There… -
Re: Holes in AO map (3ds max Render to Texture)
WAIT from the tutorial: "Make Sure you check Shadows, or you will get a white image. " I am such an idiot. I missed a step in the tutorial. [iWi], you are a hero - thank you everyone so much. I will post the difference between the max AO, and the Xnormal AO so that you can see the difference in quality. 3Ds max: xNormal:… -
