Re: resizing normal maps
You have to normalize the texture after resizing it. If you use nvidia normal map filter, just click the "normalize only" option. You have to do this when you resize a normal map, or paint in one yourself. The RGB value of each pixel has to add up to a specific value. When a normal map resizes down, it may no longer add… -
Re: TES: Oblivion
Indeed, as Daz said, most of us are cg artists. taht said, we're all forever screwed to always have the 'eye' when it comes to games and prevents us from fully enjoying them. Even for all it's bugs, stale gameplay, bad art, etc. games like Oblivious really appeal to me and I'll likely play through it at least once. I just… -
Re: The Willows Whisper - Organic environment (personal project)
Good stuff but i find the images very noisy. There is so much stuff and the shadows create a lot of noise so the eyes have no resting place and get distracted from the focus point. I would use some depth of field to blur out what is behind and before the focus point. As mentioned before, the ditch geometry is very flat and… -

Re: THQ, shutting it down
There's a few more than that. Irrational, or whatever they're called these days are still working on XCom. EA are still rolling along, developing something current gen as well as having sponged up all of the IPhone developers in Melbourne. Big Ant and Torus seem to be surviving. I heard Team Bondi are selling out to KMM… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback/Breaking into the video game industry.
Once you reach a certain level of skill you will have no problem getting a job, even without experience. Currently your work isn't at a recruitable level, assuming your looking at AAA next gen titles. You need to improve your basic skills and keep moving forward. Like many people have said it will benefit you to choose a… -

Re: *Webley MK VI .445 Service Revolver*
Very nice bake man. Tough to tell how the materials read without some color and details. Looks good so far. @4k maps for a pistol. I've stated this before, even at 2k x 2k there are more pixels in the texture map of the pistol than the amount of screen pixels that can be displayed for it at 1080p. You could make a 16k x… -
Re: Need Portfolio layout critique
You are correct for some assets. Particularly FPS's, Strategy games and so on where there typically is no requirement for the character to have switchable components (lower, upper torso, different heads, hair and so on). Most of my older stuff I was putting it together as if it was for an MMO. Where as my future stuff will… -
Re: Alex's big push to better his high poly skills(Also Baking and material definition)
Thanks Nick! Going to try and get a low done and uv'ed by tomorrow night. If all go's well maybe the first bake will come out good!....who am I kidding, its rare to be that lucky haha. UV'ing should be too bad though, most of the model could be mirrored, should be able to get a decent look with a 1024x2. Biggest hurdle…
