Re: Lighting across meshes inconsistent, can't work out why
Looks like that area is lit indirectly, by the bounce lighting, so a couple more things to check: * Lightmass settings for the Level? Static Lighting Scale, indirect lighting quality, etc. Scale set to 0.1 seems to give good results for a final bake * Where we're seeing the seams, are those separate assets? If so, you can… -
Re: Cryengine 2/Sandbox queries
Check out this post from this thread in this sub-forum... it'll at least get you access to the Sandbox2 editor. You can definitely use your own custom models and textures with Cryengine, check out this thread, but the import methods are much more limited than UDK AFAIK, luckily you are using Max so depending on what… -
Re: Steam introduces video tutorials section
This actually made me bite the bullet and get Modo indie 901 to try it out despite the lack of scripting support, since I could pick up Tor's intro tutorial. Normally I really like what he does (his modular masterclass from a few years back is pure gold) but I have to say I'm disapppointed with it... I find it superficial… -
Re: Sata 6.0 gb/s worth it?
Ok, rather than starting a new thread, here's my plan so far. Anyone see any holes or issues? (other than the Graphics card that I'm going to keep from my old system. 8600 GTS is decent enough for now) Mobo: ASUS P6X58D CPU: I7-920 Bloomfield Memory: Corsair XMS3 (3x2GB) HD: WD Caviar Black SATA 6.0 gb/s DVD: Sony 24x SATA… -
Re: AtlusZMH's new Portfolio(Env/Prop Artist)
Bonds is right :) heres the link for you less advantageous types! http://www.catchmyfame.com/2009/06/25/jquery-beforeafter-plugin/ Not really much magic to be had, but still a really cool script :) It even works on my phone browser :P Thanks everyone for all the crits. I'll be working on uploading larger shots and flats… -
Re: The amount of time is takes to fully model, texture and rig a creature/character?
Also note that you're thinking of tackling a lot of separate disciplines, with very different workflows and thought processes. Its not that it can't be done, as I think everyone so far has said, its that you're better off not spreading your self too thin. 1: Environment Art - modular asset and building block focused - high… -
Re: Squigherder
I went back to try and put some of the cast shadows and stuff like that on the armor but i quickly remembered why i didn't do it in the first place. From the beginning I was following the some advice and tips from one of the character artists at mythic (Thanks J!) The model itself is modular in a way that different pieces… -
Re: First Time Poster - Noob Question - Should I UV tile multiple objects together or separate?
Generally you want to keep textures separate, at least for props. Sometimes it might make more sense for modular building parts to share textures, but it depends on how you'll be using them. For things like the props you mention, say you have two scenes: a city and a forest and you chose a 2k map for a crammed prop… -
Re: ufo homes from the 70's?
ha cool! nice subject matter and the execution is pretty decent too. I think some better material definition might make this look a bit better. I know in the ref, none of those pods look that shiny but I think having a slight shine to them would make this pop a bit more. The broken glass for example would look more… -
Re: Are Environment Artists Qualified To Work as Level Designers?
Man, this has been so helpful! I really appreciate it... I'm glad I asked, as I'm seeing there is often a big divide. I have several months until I apply for school, which should give me time to decide whether to apply to the art track or the design track. Sorry for so many questions, but just to make sure I'm clear, is it…
