Re: Physically based rendering in games
Hi, I just fell on the thread's link on facebook. I am a lighting artist and I have been working on Remember Me with Sebastien Lagarde. We just did a session at gdc europe talking about how we used PBR to match the concept art. We just uploaded this video that shows the different textures (and 2 debug view modes to spot… -
Are the car props in Metro Last Light/The last of us high poly props baked down?
Good day. I am fairly new to identifying which props I should and should not spend time creating a high poly to bake down the normals to a low poly.

Infuriating problem with Motion Builder - please help! :)

Using 3DS Max 2013, the problem arises with the link constraint when I place it on the hand to fasten it to the motorcycle front wheel fork (which controls turning). It deforms the mesh… -

@SniperStealth, Stromberg90, Jessica Dinh: Thanks people! :) :thumbup: Anyway, Got my finals over with. Not sure what to think about Max 2013 yet, but i'm not really happy with it so far.

Re: Marmoset Toolbag 2 | FAQ & Support
I noted a little problem with the tangent space settings on the meshes today. It seems the dropdown menu is broken whatever setting I use. If I import a mesh without enabling any compatible space, my rendering is fine. I triangulated the mesh in Maya 2013, exported it as an FBX 2013 with normals, tangents and binormals. I… -
