Re: Can normal map be used in animation?
Thank you very much! Today when I was reading Autodesk documents. It says:" The other very popular use for tangent space normal maps is the deforming of characters.

Re: Efficient mapping for assets
Plan ahead and create one texture map that contains each of the elements you need, a wall section, wooden plank, window etc. Then place the UV islands for each part over the corresponding area of the texture map.

Re: How you picked one? Environment or Character Art

Re: Are YOU an artist?
I studied Emotions in game design for my dissertation and part of it was analysing the game artists role in the creation of the game experience. I found textbooks that talk about a few ways in which games designers can be considered artists. “A close consideration of game space reveals a broad range of aesthetic… -
Re: UDK - modular wip
took a look at your texture flats again, and it seems some of the brick wall is repeating in the texture flat, which is essential wasted space, you should re-work that area of the flat to make it all unique. your going to be fighting obvious tiling on a larger mod scene enough when all your texture space contains unique… -
