Well I'd say mipmaps are really a matter of personal preference rather than absolutely technical. I'm usually a sharpen 5/7/10 type of guy as it keeps my hand painted textures crisp at a distance. The effect will definitely be more pronounced the larger your scene is, grass looked basically completely different when I…
Make your unwraps as straight as possible. And try to get the same amount of pixels on both sides of the seam Like this: If you look closely you can see that the taillights are split in two with a few pixels on the side of the car. But because both the side and the back of the lamps are 5 (or 7, if you include the darker…
Ive watched through episode 7 and it gets better as you go. The first episode is sorta overdone, and does rip off a lot of other movies, but so many forms of entertainment rip each other off i hardly think that matters. Sometimes the sex scenes may feel out of place but helps the show appeal to a wider audience. What i…
Hi Ironbelly I'm looking for 3d models to be exported as prefabs with textures. No need for lightning setup. Do you think you could create handpainted textures just like in this example: http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/063/9/2/92c5e4fde47d557be1dd007902afa921-d5x09r8.jpg…
Yeah i agree reading mangas is the way to go ... but not digitally. If i read a comics I really need it on paper. I tried reading on pc few times since I can't buy most of the stuff i would like to. Also i want to give some cash to people who create those. I got 35 Naruto books (and 7 Ragnaroks and 1 japanese Dragon Ball!…
Thanks guys. You're right Blaisoid, this was actually my first time using specular maps so I'm still learning how to make them work properly. No I didn't mirror any UVW's something I overlooked; also with the time constraints of the assignment the texture is quite sloppy and rushed in general, I will get round to improving…
Thanks!! I think the kind of main street that I want to achieve is like this one (small one, but mine a little bit wider): [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE7xPBEAch0[/ame] (Min 7:30) I will probably make the scaffoldings and archs, as I do think they are a nice add that will give variation to the street. Right now…
@mm Well I have my own 7 page long anatomy thread :P I started with http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/2585/anarh.png And after a few months im at http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/2769/sofarc.png That was really helpful ferg, but would I have time to improve my character art skills? And Im guessing prop artists are in…

Sorry to resurrect an old thread here, but I'm having this issue as well. Using 2012 with Windows 7. The refresh option doesn't seem to be working, closing the material editor doesn't seem to work, I've also tried assigning a different texture and reassigning the one with the updated map, and changing which file is being…
