Re: To Build An Ogre!
Thanks for checking back, lotet! :D I was considering separating the strap from the bag, but that is about it. Is it completely necessary to separate the items into multiple pieces? If so, is it mainly just for convenience while working or for baking purposes? Or just to clearly differentiate between the elements in the… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Ben Strasser/ Environment Artist
i like the new paint over :) Some crazy ideas: > To show age in this scene, have more broken items. >> Like have the stair broken / barley holding itself together. >>Broken pipes ! >Repeat the Mega turbo gene, like dup it. and place it further down in the scene in the y axis ... >The the pillars/support beams, just use a… -
Re: Hellgate Demo
Found this news about the subscription: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/46863 so you basically pay $10 ( £5) a month to play the game as an elite member and get some nice bonuses. I dont see any great reasons to be an elite member but then again Im not a really hardcore gamer. Still I object to this kind of marketing… -
Re: Two questions: How long do you go between jobs and is my portfolio ok
Hey Jess! Here's some critiques on your portfolio; - Don't include the brick material on your portfolio; It's not a good enough material to turn heads. The bricks are too shiny and they're weirdly bumpy (like bark or something). There are large portions of the graph that needs frames or comments so someone can tell what… -
Re: What kind of machine are you running on?
@James: I wouldn't buy new hardware for a system that old. I'd look on ebay. for example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ATi-Radeon-9600-XT-128MB-VGA-DVI-TV-AGP-Video-Card_W0QQitemZ200216749691QQihZ010QQcategoryZ3762QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem… -
Re: Object Space verus Tangent space when doing Normal maps for Environments.
OH! now I remember! Thanks! And I actually do texture some background element uniquely if the whole model itself is meant to be modular. That way i can squeeze more use out of that item. Then i just hang various other elements around it to mix it up a bit. (example: One big rock wall then hang a bunch of mediem to small… -
Re: Should I be mad or happy?
Don to the rescue. Honestly it would have been a crazy decision to switch to flash. I think more of the learning a pipeline and how to get items into engine and work as a team to meet goals is the main idea behind the whole thing. While I think the school could easily switch to UT3 and it would benefit even more. Even if… -
Re: increadible fight sequence from kong
She sucks as a tag team partner Good clip. I kind of have to side with aesir on this one though. That was one of the first things I noticed when I saw the original trailer. Not that I'm putting too much into it, just something that crossed my mind, about how her neck would have snapped with the way she was caught. Things… -
Re: Tiling Part of a texture?
if you have 4 stripes of each texture portion that would work in 1 direction. If you have 4 quads each representing its own to be tiled texture that wont work because in order to tile things you have to scale either width or height of that UV item. There is a trick that mirrors the texture outside of the UV (0.0-1.0)… -
Re: High Poly Practice - Vatican
Okay, it's been a while since I worked on this. Here's what I'd like to consider the finished product (aside from the mammoth seam at the base that I'll paint out in the morning) Any suggestions before I make a sheet for this item? it's 2k tris, and I've used 2048 maps for it (I know that is an unreasonably large map size…
