Re: Introducing Lys - Open Beta!
Wow. This tool fits just perfectly in our (webgl) engine's ibl workflow with preconvolved radiance in an offline step. Really easy to use, fast and handy. However we've noticed some issues when exporting preconvolved specular maps which prevents us from using the tool in production. It seems that only when exporting cube… -
Re: ArenaNet Art Internship Competition
So i finished my piece on time and here are the final results... I like the final product but I had a lot of trouble with the grass and I think it could be much better. On top of that I also feel like my final piece, while good, is probably not the style they are looking for as it is somewhat cartoonish and more saturated… -
Re: Your thoughts on the current state of the workshop/DOTA2Store
Now I'm only a small speck of a beginner in the Dota 2 Workshop world, but here's my observations. Valve has stated that they want to weed out low-quality submissions to the workshop. The trend by Valve to support this has been the encouragement to create almost entirely character-altering sets containing new character… -
Re: Keeping previous project files
I don't keep all revisions of my work files when an asset is done - just the major steps and in case of commercial work my original version, the feedback(s) I implemented and the final scene. No raw bake data is being kept just the source files to reexport from in case its needed. My work volume for current projects is a… -
Re: .mat - Matlabs?

Re: [WIP] Nobilis Terra Strike Cruiser
@Cibo: Thx for your C&C. To explain a little better what images I had in my mind while I was blocking the ship. If you focus at the forward 2/3, up to that point I was Thinking about the Starblazers and Captain Harlock designs. As for the wings it is true that they need to be a lot smaller and thinner. Now for the last 1/3… -
Re: RichMakeGame Devlog
Nostradamus: cheers! Chief benefit to me: it's visual. From an art background, I just understand things so much better when I see them laid out- some examples: you can clearly see the connections between things, and how the 'flow' of code works- especially when you view the graph at runtime any logic being called has a… -
Re: How Do You Maintain Art Direction?
One thing I like to do is have a separate Photoshop file that contains common colors & elements for a given project - or part of a project. When I'm working on WWII aircraft, for example, I have a file that contains color swatches for each country, and another with common insignia and even notes on proper fonts. It saves… -
Re: Counter Strike Source Map - work in progress
Thanks for the advice melkior. I agree with everything you've posted and I'll try to explain a few of the questions you've raised: The map is an industrial complex and loosely based off an area of Los Angeles that I visited a month or so ago. This area had numerous small buildings backed up to a water canal that led to a… -
Re: Freddy's Fried Chicken - Small scene
hmm, depends on which one you pick. In most cases you will get some *.ms file (maxscript) which contains the script. So if you take the first script, it links to: http://scriptspot.com/files/Tik_Mass_Randomizer_v1.913.mcr which is a macroscript (mcr = macroscript), a macroscript is container that holds the maxscript so…
