Re: Do you use NVil (aka VoidWorld)
:) It was just a half joke on my part (I'm pretty facetious) The reason being that a number of people have always commented on how clunky/old the UI looks and like it or not a LOT of people are put off but aesthetics. I don't expect the results of this poll to be very extensive as threads get buried here pretty quickly.… -
Re: Politics in game storyline
There isn't really any such thing as apolitical media. You might make a video game that's a straight-ahead shooterfest with a lantern-jawed grizzled white dude and have no particular political intentions when you're making it, but when you take a step back and see that the majority of big-budget AAA titles all feature… -
Re: Need advice about Digital Painting
I would agree ... to an extent. There is no doubt that an image can be made from scratch in Photoshop, but tablets (and even Cintiqs) are still an order of magnitude less precise than pen and paper. (This is pretty obvious when watching any lineart-based digital painting video - artists starting them from scratch in PS… -
Re: ZBrush Hard-Surface Dynamesh
This is simply an extension to my workflow, I'm not looking to fully replace my hard surface routine - however, it has to be admitted that it's an incredibly useful solution to adding complex detail to a final model. No, for sure I add edge loops anyway, however what I was trying to explain is that to receive consistent… -
Re: Character Critique
Hey, that's a really cool concept and you're off to a great start. I wish I could help more with the hair and jacket, but I'm still pretty new to ZBrush so am learning as I go. Couple of things though, your proportions are quite off from the original concept (well it's kinda hard to tell exactly from that angle) You need… -
Re: Star Wars - Environment Art Questions
I was at the Battlefront talk and asked about the blends - that line: "Texture Arrays projected and details match." - what they mean is that the detail texturing on the meshes gets scaled to match the terrain. It's a global scale. So, no matter what size a rock is scaled by the LD or level artist, the blend will always be… -
Re: Photogrammetry with a Smartphone
Yeah, doing depth from normal map is very wrong. As of laser scanners they can't do so detailed mesh Photoscan can. Not even close. My recent Photoscan model was around 800 mil polys per a few meters of a surface. In my experience photogrammetry based materials works so-so with Substance Designer/Painter. Both softs are… -
Re: What's the workflow here? (Doom 4)
I don't know, but since their tech calls for every pixel to be pretty much unique (megatexture) and rage seemed to push that handcrafted style it makes sense. I imagine having nice asset management extension to working 3d app. Grab a barrel, grab container, merge, sculpt, decimate, bake and send it to engine. You still… -
Re: The Beast - M'ling had too much to drink
So I quit my part time job and went a few sleepless nights and then they dropped the extension bomb. I will refrain from adding to all the discussion and just take advantage of the extra time to make the best I can. :) I retopod for almost 3 days straight and it came out nowhere near good, but I just accepted it for the… -
Re: TF2 Materials Help
ya got your QC pointing to a material in the wrong spot and your vmt pointing to a texture in the wrong spot. both the vmt and vtf should be stored in "STEAMDIR\USERDIR\team fortress 2\tf\materials\models\weapons" and once there both there fix your qc to point to the vmt and recompile, and fix the vmt to point to the new…
