Re: The gym for the 3d artist ?
I think this is a good idea for a thread. You need to do a lot of research as everyone is different. I have been into my health and fitness for around 6 years now and it's a constant learning curve which changes to fit your current life style. When I was at Uni I was doing weight training 5 - 6 times a week to get away… -
Re: EA opening new DICE studio in Los Angeles
hahah sorry I should have paraphrased that statement with: as a young 25 year old single male, who grew up in a smaller town (which I hated) and that was my own personal view. those are cool points, and personaly for me, thats something I would rather visit for a long weekend every now and then. where I live in montreal… -
Re: Medieval Building
I will :) Because we are now sort of getting some where! Ok so I have 2 tests, one is this building made up of tiny objects so lets say 6 different types of them that are instanced to form one building. These objects all contain the same 1024x2048 texture and I did some "Smart UV Mapping" to make them all fit together and… -
Re: My thoughts on Normal Baking by with UV matching
The main problem with this method, or a similar method someone else posted a while ago(where they take the lowpoly and bevel edges to create the high, but keep the silhouette the same to avoid waviness) is that your edges will always look like jagged lowpoly models. When you get some slight waviness in there, it will at… -
Re: cartoon shadows are saturated
Hey Muzz, thank you so much. The braincells started working. Getting the terminology right seems to help with this. The "problem" that looks like the desaturation of shadows is described in that same quote from David's website. There's a TL,DR at the end of this post. There are two measurements of the "purity" of colour… -

Re: 3D for games.
for a portfolio reel i always suggest going higher specs, the object of a portfolio is to WOW people with awesome art, they should see something and go "THATS AWESOME!" not go "hmm thats awesome for a 40 poly model of a dragon fighting a bear using only 64x64 texture" if you have to explain to your audiance why your work… -
Re: Decent Kids Cartoons, surfacing? (Chowder Flapjack)
NIck is so weird with its successful cartoons.... ren and stimpy - has record breaking 2 seasons and sets animation styles for which almost all current gen cartoons will follow for a while after. Then they think that in order to keep it going they should bring in a fresh team of people, so they remove the creator since he… -
Re: E3 Highs / Lows and Views!
[ QUOTE ] Its nice to see companies art direction use normal maps better, barley any plastic figures running around! For anyone who attended I'm curious to hear your views! [/ QUOTE ] As an aside, normal maps really aren't the perpetrator of plastic looking characters, its poor implementation of specular shaders that are…
