Re: Baking normal maps on hard-surface models
Hi guys, Yesterday I spent all day doing tests and I think I got it. For the weird artifacts in the rails I noticed that while editing the normals helped, it didn't completely fix the issue (see post above) so I decided to used a "brute force" approach and instead, I used a different smoothing group for the faces showing… -
Re: Ghost Nova (Starcraft 2 Fan Art)
I think that the error was from having 2 versions of the model overlapping before they added the back face culling to marmoset. Also, I found that doubling the viewport resolution helped reduce it :) I managed to get some time to revisit the lighting as I was originally relying far too much on the image based stuff and had… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 2.03 with DOTA 2 shader support is officially out
Hi EQ - just wanted to mention that I am running into a very similar issue to the one highlighted earlier by Mdk : http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2012772&postcount=31 The scenario is very similar : a VMT which has a very high Specularscale of 15, and Specularcolor commented out : $SPECULAR_BLOOM_SCALE 0… -
Re: Share your max Custom Keyboard UI's
I basically did what kio does, just keep mapping in new ones all in convient places untill all you use is hotkeys. With my current setup, I have a game pad (n52 te) which I can map specific keys of my keyboard to. So now I have custom shortcuts, on top of custom keys for my game pad. In any event, with my setup the… -
Re: several months of hard work!
It looks great! It sounds like you guys have put in a lot of time in making it fun and balanced. I have an issue with the damage to the second floor shown in the middle shot. Concrete floor? It doesn't look to be made out of wood and it isn't sagging? Something like that should be handled as a custom model/prop, where you… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Yeah I red that here too: https://www.reuters.com/technology/sony-lay-off-900-playstation-employees-shut-london-studio-2024-02-27/ and I'm wondering what "changes" Ryan was referring to. Could it be that the changes in the industry he's referring to relate to AI workflows reducing the required number of employees in… -

Circuits and Shields is searching a skilled 2D concept artist to create concepts for our spells/abilities. Circuits is a MOBA style game similar to LoL/HotS/DotA, so familiarity with those games would help. Your task is to draw up rough concepts for each spell based on a description. These concepts will then be passed on… -
Mixer - Experimenting with Materials

I've been doing some tests with the Quixel Mixer and thought about sharing them here :) For a little bit of context, Quixel Mixer is a newly released software which allows you to create tilleable surfaces, but the main different with say substance designer is that this one heavily relies on photogrammetry. As a… -
Re: Do you freelance or work at a studio?
Slosh that is where the 230 dollar/day rate comes from. 230 a day is what you would have to charge, 5 days a week 52 weeks a year to make 60k a year. First, nobody wants to work 5 days a week 52 weeks year, so right there we are already charging less than a salaried employee. Second, no benefits. This can be a big one for… -
Re: InCognito update
I turned off the ceiling light and trying it more with desk lamps which I need to model. The lighting can't be for the benefit of 1 camera angle as the menu will include the whole room. This is the kind of look I am after…
