Re: Sketchbook: Eric Chadwick
Someone asked in email how I blended the textures together on the terrains. The Shader Forge wiki was a good place for me to start. I keep going back for more tips as I make more shaders. http://acegikmo.com/shaderforge/wiki/index.php?title=Advanced_Texture_Splatting I also added a bunch of references on our wiki about… -
Re: art direction for my Portfolio
hi independ-hans, First off, your home page lands the viewer on a badly rendered and lit model in t-pose. that's a no-no ! I don't know if that's a good idea to remove your movie stuff. It can still be interesting to see and above all it leaves you with almost nothing to show. IMO, take your time to build strong assets,… -

Re: Videogame modelling
Almost too many to post in one post... http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/ Home of Nem's Tools, lots of great stuff. - GCFScape for exploring and extracting Valves packed content. - VTFEdit for viewing creating and editing VMT VTF files (materials) http://www.wunderboy.org/ Home of some more great tools. - 3dsMax SMD… -
Re: Crunch/Overtime
depends where i've worked. Relic was very organized and i knew what i had to do before i did it. i can manage my time VERY well, and although we had periods of crunch time, i was almost never behind schedule. if i have a deadline and a target, i can generally hit it... unless the deadline is fucking retarded. at Relic the… -
Re: 3DSMax UV Tools
SouL: Really, you should just spend a couple of minutes and actually learn the software. Go into the Advanced Options in the Unwrap window. Check the boxes for "Show selected verts in viewport" and "Constant update in viewport". That will fix two of your major whines straight off the bat. Try setting up the default… -
Re: High Poly Models and Normal Mapping
Cubik: Yeah, like I said, it really depends on the target platform and game type when it comes to determining the polygon count and detail of the low-poly mesh. In that wheel example in my tutorial, I wasn't really aiming for anything specific. You could use more polys to round out the silhouette if they were available and… -
Re: Texture size and unwrap
Awesome help guys. Thought I'd throw in my knowledge on the subject too. Power of 2 images sizes in general is a good idea, though not really mandatory any more (with stipulations to older hardware, which you probably wont target anyway.) Square is debatable, but often a good rule to follow also. On today's hardware… -
Re: 3ds Max Game Terrain & Workflow.
We used Max a couple years ago to make and layout all the terrain for an adver-game, worked OK. Some pics and video (bottom of the page). Terrain was made of canyons underwater, so I created a set of U-cross-sectioned canyon pieces that all tiled with one another. We made a tiled normal map of the rock wall, baked from… -
Re: Sketchbook: Cristian Villalobos
Hi Cristian, Looks interesting. What are your goals with this? Its quite a large piece. When we start work on projects we will first do a visual target. This is normally a small, isolated scene where we can develop the style without taking on too much and costing a load of time. Something of this scale with all of these…
