Re: Gameloft Test - Lowpoly Girl
To be frank, if your work currently looks like that and you need us to guide you through modeling a pretty simple human... I don't think you're ready to work at GameLoft. That said, here are some posts (from the aforementioned LOWPOLY thread) with wireframes of lowpoly females to help you get better: Left 4 Dead Zoey,… -
Re: is 12gb ram unnecessary?
How hot? 50c is a normal temp for i7 CPU's and the max temp is around 100, so you really have nothing to worry about. Mine runs at 45-55c when idle and 70-80c when under load. (i7 950) I used too use liquid cooling and with the advances with air cooling, trust me when i say that it isnt worth it. Just get a good after… -
Re: The Big Lebowski WIP
Once you've got these bad boys done, I can help you get them into Source with all the updated shader stuff if you like. You'll need a normal map with the spec map in the alpha channel as a bare minimum (the normal map can be completely flat, just a fill with 128, 128, 255 is fine), and the diffuse map as well. You can also… -
Re: Poll: Excited for Quake 4 ?
The specular mapping in that engine is soo overblown, that everything looks like cheap plastic. Naah, you just have to keep your spec maps really dark. I think they appear about twice as bright ingame as they are on your specmap (and remember that they are added to the diffuse lighting!). Just keep your values very low… -

Re: What does your home work station look like?
LOL! That brought a tear to my eye. ;) Only have two degrees, I'm afraid; nothing to do with digital art. Most of the things up on the wall and shelf are Military-related. The hat is from a visit to OktoberFest, quite some time ago; when we were stationed in Germany. The little bundle hanging on the wall, on the right, is… -
Re: How Do I get rid of seams?
It could be a gamma correction issue, you can check by applying a texture flooded with a 128, 128, 255 red-green-blue color. If there is still a discernible seam it is most likely gamma correction doing something funky. Gamma correction is confusing to say the least so here's some official documentation on it… -
Re: Lightmap Gradient Problem
the problem, as far as I can tell, is that you are using a very limited range of color in your lightmap (let's say, from 0 to 20 rgb). But then you're expanding that range back up with realtime lighting / post process / whatever. So you're taking 0 to 20 and turning it into 0-100. The result is gonna be banding. Here's a… -
Re: Uniformizing environment textures
If your textures don't look good in fullbright, they won't fit when lit, either. Keep saturation/brightness levels consistent and leave room for lightmaps to multiply against (ie; max value in textures to 215, max saturation to 65%). Often times, lightmaps will be multiplied past a value of 1.0, to blow out lighting and… -
Re: Render to texture, using alpha on source objects?
so I was having the same problem with my ivy and found a script that adds the normal colors in the diffuse slot and then set the self illum to 100 and render with your normal map with a ortho camera. Pretty much the same thing that ben's tutorial does but without the light setup. you can find the script at scriptspot.…
