Re: What are the things to consider when making game for Mobile Platform ?
I have one thing to add... (Hoping not to sound to negative). The success of mobile games are largely viral. It's similar to what constitutes a success on youtube. - It's not based on quality - It's not based on originality - It's not based on polish - It's based almost completely on timing (largely on a cultural level) -… -
Re: Should i risk making a Indie Game?
whatever route you choose it won't pay you return unless you go at it 100%. you should never take a risk you don't have to if the consequence is dire, but if you have to then it's fight to the death so don't fuck around. it's hard to get into AAA jobs and there isn't lot of security there anyway as far as I can tell. Just… -
Vertex Paint with fake height between 2 materials? How?
Hi guys, I got to the vertex paint stage in my level and I am confused how to go about this issue. I am trying to create fake height difference between my top layer (wallpaper) and bottom layer (plaster). I am still learning unreal so figuring this out seems like black magic. This is what I got so far, (the mask for the… -
Modo 501
Modo 501 has arrived! :) Has anyone had a chance to mess around with it? Any first impressions? I'm trying to resist just purchasing it because I'm a bit poor atm... though I'll probably give in sooner or later. From what I know it has a some new features that may prove useful to us as game artists: 1. Smoothing Groups are… -
Re: modeling TV
Hi! Are you creating a game asset? What's your reason for modeling all the vents? You can take notes from existing models, how they solve such details (sketchfab, polyhaven). For a game asset, I wouldn't model such details since they go inwards, not contributing much to the silhouette. I would add the detail in texture… -
Re: Another normal map issues thread - issues at seams - Maya LT
This has helped me some. Somehow I missed it until now. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_Map_Technical_Detail Alright, I know a bit more about map baking now, but now I'm entirely confused about how to set up a new workflow. I've got all these different programs -- Maya LT, Zbrush, Xnormal, Substance Painter -- but… -
Washing Machine Part
In an attempt to get better at Sub D and curved shapes I've been working on this washing machine part for a while and finally calling it done. It's done purely as a modelling exercise so it won't be baked or textured. It's my first time making a challenging shape like this so wanted to hear what you guys have to say. I'd… -
Re: Artifacts, not sure where they're coming from.
I have overlapping UV's, but they're offset 1 space to avoid anything like that. It's all over the place though, and it's pretty uniform. As far as geo goes what should I be looking for, the bake is super clean in all aspects, and when I look at in photoshop I don't see any of these artifacts. It's a 4096x4096 texture,… -
Re: GI Joe: The Movie!!!!
[ QUOTE ] jessemoody ... or why do people care more about their childhood memories getting ruined, than the fact that the lazy-arsed movie industry insists on raking this shit up to make yet another cheap half-baked action film that pleases NO-ONE, just cos it's easier than thinking up new ideas to make something fresh and… -
Re: Sculpt first or last?
Depends but 99% of the time I will make a low poly model in max/maya/Blender even if it is an organic sculpt as a base mesh, I can get the head and shoulders and other pre sculpting forms out quicker than using dynamesh or Zspheres. but rarely is this my low poly model ever returned to its just a base to work off, then I…
