Re: [Portfolio] Alex James, Environment Artist
@AutopsySoldier: The tri count for the fire hydrant is 1438. And here is some big screenshots of the gun http://img691.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=gun3l.jpg I used Polyboost a lot.

Re: Staffs Uni Dinosaur/Mech
I'm curious on a few things and maybe some things you could try out.. Try multiple bakes in 3ds Max and xNormal (how do you calculate your distances in xNormal?)

Re: dDo Issues with NormalMaps
That effect appears because of "Seams Termination" option. Basically ddo is making masks thru that wears normal map. And that normal will be fine on model if your background color and its borders on ID map is close to real UV. But for in game model that normal isnt good becouse of large gradients, on MIPmaps it couse a… -
Normalmap baking problem on a pipe segment

Re: XNormal - Cage Breaking based upon SG
From what I gather, ray distance is basically a broken cage - but do give it a try. Are you planning on overlaying a broken cage normal map onto the averaged cage map in order to have both edge shading and unskewed details? Wouldn't that still result in the need for a lot of editing? -

Re: Jeff Parrott Dota 2 Thread
Looking once more time on my items I need to say that your right guys :/ haha how cruel... I was referring to this sentence from dota requirements page: "The "_normal" texture should be 24-bit and use the 3dsmax format(red channel is left; green is up; blue is top). If you aren't creating a custom normal map, use a flat…
