Re: Cannon Scene
I don't know about this holding up as a FPS or 3rd person style asset with the player/camera getting up close to it. But as a next gen RTS asset? So awesome. It holds up really well at the pulled back shots you have. When you get closer the details aren't there in the textures or sculpt. Not knocking it. Cause this is… -
Re: New to Building / Enviroment Modeling. Looking for some advice
For current standards, learn about PBR. Quixel and Allegorithmic both have great tools for generating PBR maps. We have a good PBR page on the wiki to get you started. Also learn Zbrush. A sculpting tool is really essential for generating current-gen assets. You'll need a normal-mapped asset to get the most out of those… -
Re: m1911a1 WIP
anytime you have triangles like that on a curved surface you'll get that "pinching" effect but you have so much support for that curve in the geo that it's barely noticeable at the normal viewing distance, it won't really be a problem in the end. some of your edges look too tight for good baking utility, you can see for… -
Re: Rich Diamant using Substance Designer
Great program for touching a bunch of assets at once- for sure! Some cool stuff in there... Has anyone had any luck with SD generated AO? I'm having a hard time getting a good looking bake... comparable to something I would achieve in Max, or XNormal. Also, when baking AO from a normal mapped low poly model in SD, anyone… -
Re: FlashG's Thread
You dont need to create that geo like that. i mean, you could, but why bother, just copy the geometry from the body, scale it up a bit so its outside the model, and paint on it whatever tattoo you want, and create an alpha mask, this way, you get a guarantee that once you bind it, and you copy the weights from the body,… -
Re: Starcraft II
Damn it I need friends / polycounters to get the beta! None of my friends got in. Playing against random people...ah well. StarCraft 2 is amazing. It is super responsive and very smooth. The animated character portraits are incredible (the overlord licks your screen. haha). There were only ~1500 players on SCII last night… -
Re: Sod off, Swampy
This is gonna make me so fucking steaming mad If Im not careful. Best bet is to not look at this thread anymore. Im not really saying Im suprised that they got their asses kicked, and Duke, of course, I totally am not surprised that you get in the way of people trying to make a living, and you get your ass kicked. But what… -
Re: do you soften or harden beveled edges on hard surfaces?
@gnoop, oops, yeah I see what you mean now... I guess, it'll get better when they add normal editing to GeoNodes. -
Re: Is it "cheating" to use photographs for textures?
maze : good points overall. Also your talking about two very different techniques which will soon start to appear in games which is great! All the things mentioned about the textures in my scene were as far as I could go within a schedule and tech. We also have moments where we have to sacrfice detail to get that magical… -
Issue with padding on Diffuse texture
Hi I'm having a problem with a texture for a character/creature I'm working on. Somewhere along the way, I think I've screwed up the padding. I've exported out various parts of my texture from Substance Painter - mostly masks - in order to sort of collapse layers down to reduce the file size as it was getting too big and…
