So here's an update of this project. I have mainly been creating more high poly assets and texturing the environment. I went about this by using tiling textures overlayed on top of the High poly AO and Normal maps. This has been done by utilizing 2 UV sets and merging the result together in the shaders in UDK. I understand…
hey man, its good that you are getting back into drawing after five years! One thing I can say is (and something that you noticed) is that the face is a little lob sided and jenson (I think thats his name) looks a little chubby in the pic. Don't be afraid to do a lot of rough construction lines before laying done the final…
Ctrl locks the target. So aim and Ctrl should resolve many issues for you. I know this because its the same button I have to push to talk on TS3. :( Currently: I do regret spending 50 to get into closed beta and then 200 for early access in open beta. Reason being, it wasnt really worth it. The Draw faces are soo squished…
Two possible methods I can think of. * Make a tiling alpha and apply it using surface noise and some clever UV mapping. You'll probably end up with some distortion to tidy up and/or some cut off sections of the tiling map. Save a morph target before hand so you can paint out some of the unwanted parts. This is a quick and…
I know fine artist who wouldn't consider landscape and portrait work art, but rather illustrations. From what I gathered from them, art must start or continue a dialogue. If it doesn't do either of those things, it is just an illustration (this is of course 2D work). If you think about it, making something realistic or…
Thanks wes. From what I've read, that makes sense. 2 channels at better compression. One thing I haven't concluded is whether the Uasset file size is representative of performance gain, as far as changing the compression is concerned. The asset has a source path to the original texture, but it is only there as a way to…
Lately I find I have a strange preoccupation with rules. As a result of this I've become really indecisive and even apathetic when it comes to doing work. I mean, I've always been indecisive but it's amplified because I find myself thinking about "rules". For example, I've been trying to become better at drawing, like…
@Talon: Up until recently, whenever I made a thread or a post, I never really got a reply. I was a bit saddened for not getting any replies, but it only made me want to get better to try and catch they eye of PC's members. While I'm sure this doesn't apply to everyone, not getting replies help me get better. For some…
@jaysonmtl Gotta say I'm a fan of wordpress. Though I have seen it nicely done before. Just make it a website and not a blog. @Zocky As someone who is running the Character Challenge every month, it's my duty to get artist's permission before running it. It is more professional that way. I mean, as a hobby, there's nothing…
