Re: graphism - the endless thread
Tom, is it just me or did you intentionally try to make me think of breasts when I see that first new one? I don't think the monochrome colour scheme of the 2nd one works as well as your previous images, although I do like the heavy saturation between the highlight and shadow areas. I preferred the older stuff, but hey,… -
Re: High Poly? Low Poly? Over Poly? You Decide
Is it good for a gun? That seriously depends on many other factors. There's no set "is this reasonable or not?", I mean for example.. while untextured you can basically 2-3x the polycount to textured, however if you apply a Shader then the actual polycount doesn't matter. Texture Vertices do. This isn't even starting to… -
Re: Maya hard edges not working...
Yeah, this sometimes happens in Maya, it's infuriating and silly. However there is an easy fix (I actually had to tell this one to some Maya users at work!). Select all the vertices of your model, and look in the Edit Polygons drop-down menu, then in the Normals sub-menu, I think it is. Then go to "Set Vertex Normal". A… -
Re: [wip]Character, need help pls
There needs to be more vertical distance between the top of his waist, and the bottom of his crotch. The pelvis looks to short imo. The knees are a tad low, and the whole lower leg is too far back when seen from the side. This makes him look like he's leaning forward a bit. The butt should come down a bit, and stick out a… -
Re: Cartoon shading via normal map?
You need to modify the normalmap shader (it's always a shader) to round the light values to certain steps (up to you where you place them). Another method would be to use the light-to-normal vector to determine the texture coordinate on an envmap that defines the light "falloff". A third option I thought about was to have… -
Unwrapping mesh to existing UV map?
I'm just a lowly modder, and some of the game meshes I'm trying to edit have really poor geometry, to the point of not really being modifiable in any significant way. My current problem model, is a tiger which I'm repurposing into a head for a human character. It's not symmetrical, lots of split vertices, and the triangles… -
Re: [WIP] Yawning Portal Battlemap UE4 - PIC Heavy
Small update, started to work on the main wall piece. Combination of Clay Tubes brush and Trim Dynamic with a hard square alpha to chip away at the stones. While I elected to make the floor a single element due to its complex shape, I wanted to explore some modular design features where possible. The wall is just a simple… -
Re: Whats the best UV method for this Cylinder?
You could reduce a little bit of the distortion simply by squishing it vertically, or you could only unwrap a quarter/half of it and mirror/stack the UVs...otherwise your best option is to just add more seams. Stretching can either be not too bad or a total disaster depending on how you plan on texturing it, if its a… -
Re: Mountain Church [WIP]
Yeah, problem with lighting is that candles can actually look pretty much like in that pictures, at least at Lucia celebrations in Sweden, but that's probably because there's usually hundreds of candles in a pitch black church or school an early December morning... I can see what you mean though, usually candle lighting… -
Re: Mountain Logging Camp Environment (UDK)
Those plants look very nice :) You might want to do a bit of optimising by clipping your mesh to closer follow the silhouette of your texture though. Having empty transparent space on your mesh increases the possibility of Overdraw (the time wasted by the graphics card drawing transparent pixels to a screen as well as the…
