Re: Need help with lighting
ok well this could be a multitude of things. Firstly do you have a control image straight out of maya's renderer. Essentially, by rendering out all of these passes and putting them back together you should, in theory if you do it correctly end up with the same image that the renderer produces straight out of the box, so… -
Re: SketchBook: Stinger88
You've got some really good stuff here Stinger but there's some issues, particularly around the weapon. Currently you have the hand tilted forward along the axis of the weapon when it should either be perpendicular or tilted back. Look at some pictures like this, this and this. Also, it looks like you're doing a bullpup… -
Re: 5 reasons why the (AAA) game industry is about to crash
There are some very valid points on this list. After I read it, I was getting on Origin to buy Titanfall, and this kinda made me chuckle: Not that the game is bad, beta was great, but I think that goes with one point on the list! I think a major thing is indie games lately, not exactly the typical 2-d retro ones but more… -
Re: [UE4] Dead Metal Punks game devlog. New Demo Available!
I've looked into how to plan out an effective way to create a map of what needs to be accomplished in each level and work out the gameplay progression. I found something called a Beat Chart, these charts are planned out in a way that explains the entire goal of a level. I'm going to test this method for the 3 week… -
Re: WIP: Models for reel
What is your aim for your reel? Are you looking for higher-end work (XBox, PS3, PC) or handheld / portable / maybe even Wii stuff? Currently this model doesn't seem to fit well into any of the categories. It's got a 512x512 texture, which is probably too low-res for "next-gen" and too high-res for anything else (RTS unit,… -
Re: My Team Fortress 2 Illustrator art
The drawing of the engie is actually not too bad. He's got a nice pose going on, and has good weight to him, but as others have mentioned, the line work is what's bringing it down. One of the biggest things to think about with anything of this nature is varying line width. At the moment, the majority of your lines are all… -
Re: Ken Levine closing down Irrational Games
I'm all for making things more stable and predictable. I'm at a pretty stable company and if I didn't have the stability I would probably leave. If I couldn't find that same level of stability some place else I would consider leaving the industry. BUT applying stability to a creative process often kills it. It's like… -
Re: Modern Warfare 2
Just want to offer another view on why some people enjoy dedicated servers. I like shooters, and like most people here have played so very many. I enjoy a good challenge online, and I'm pretty competitive, but that's only a good 50% of the time. One thing I've never liked about matchmaking only systems was that it's… -
Re: [Portfolio] Ian Mathews - Environment / Prop Artist
WORK The oil bugs me. It's not an easy material to simulate, but the specular map you currently use is waaay off. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmTTk5TO-HE[/ame] I'm curious as to how to do the heightmap/displacement map in UDK - can I see (part of) the material nodes? The work you have is nice, especially the… -
Re: Car: Hints on refining my textures?
[ QUOTE ] it's all about doing the no-render realtime thing [/ QUOTE ]Those are specifically for real time, they are quick hacks aimed at mimicking the longer, more CPU intensive rendering methods. A spec map is a standard weapon in the industries arsenal. If you're learning real time techniques, you'll need to learn spec…
