Re: Wonky Normal Generation
Currently the normal map doesn't not shade correctly in game. It shades acceptable well for most of the model but the float geometry doesn't have enough of an edge on it. If you look at the top indention, verses the bottom there's a trend where the edge closest to the center is less and less visible, and towards the… -
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 CG Teaser is out
I like to think of it as a much much work can an artist pump out issue. An artists job in game changes all the time. Pixel art -> tiling textured walls -> low polygon modeling -> high poly modeling -> sculpting -> Maybe working with 3d scanned data??? Our jobs have changed so much in 30 years, and they are going to change… -
Re: UV Mapping Issue - Mapping a 2048 by 1024 sheet
Max doesn't really support non-square UVs really well so you have two choices. - Map everything to the lower 1/2 UV space, then export the UV map and crop it yourself in Photoshop. You can use the pixel offset tools in TexTools (search this forum for it) to make the scaling very easy back and forth. - Map everything to a… -
Re: Need Pointing In The Right Direction For Flat Mesh Paper 2D In 3D Creation (MAYA)
I was thinking more close to an anime style for a 2.5D or paper 2D sidescroller. Closest to that being fully 3D is Guilty Gear and Dragon Ball Fighter Z, but not quite what I want to go for. The image was just an example of the angles I was going for, and don't want it to be low res and pixelated. if I create all angles as… -
Re: Ninja - Stylized Character
So Ive been without internet for a week now, which kinda sucked, but finally got it back so I can update this thread, yey! @thestoff - hmm, fair poin, but yeah, a bit late haha, maybe I can tweak it a bit when doing the textures. also moved around some verts on the feet in the lowpoly to make it a bit more exagerated. I… -
Re: Mobile Game Studio XP = "lndustry"?
Agreed. I'm forgetful most of the time about those disciplines not involved with the asset creation side of things, indeed without some kind of story or even tacked on narrative of sorts, a game would virtually be a bunch of pixels' whizzing around the screen without purpose...so yes a role that is quite pivotal. So that… -
Re: Noise modifier with preserving UV coordinance
Last I checked, the noise modifier doesn't modify the UV's. Textures stretch because the geometry is stretched away from its original mapping. You're mapping the same number of pixels to a distorted area. If you wanted to avoid that you'd somehow need to compensate in the texture map by altering the fidelity of the… -
Re: RappaTools v1.98
No problem at all, just popping in to let you know that you can completely collapse the interface of IC.Shape to its header only (a bunch of pixels) by double clicking on it. The idea behind having the interface open when tools are needed is to avoid having callbacks constantly working in the background when the tools are… -
Re: Resource budget on mobile platforms?
It depends? On our engine ( which is not unity ) you can touch each pixel 6 times before frag shader performance becomes a problem. tri counts arent a big issue as long as you're sensible. I've not seen a situation where tri count has been the main performance hit draw calls are a big issue Bones per triangle influence is… -
Re: Dragon Rider 2D
Hey, nice work! I'm really happy that you found it useful. I think it is usually hard to get much out of a tutorial (since drawing is based so much on practice), but I tried to mention things I thought were useful to keep in mind. Yeah, working at your final resolution results in some weird behavior from the brush and…
