Re: The Bi-Monthly CHARACTER ART Challenge | August - September
Hey there! To give you an idea as to how I started off, I began by deforming a dynamesh sphere at the default resolution (32, I believe) and began trying to sculpt the muscles as related to the torso until I was relatively happy, resetting the poly flow via dynamesh as needed. Next, I would start extruding out the neck… -
Re: Citroen H-Van
Hello! I know this thread is over a year old now but I honestly had never forgotten about it. It's just one of those projects that's always been at the back of my mind, waiting to be collected and touched up. I rebaked and retextured the majority of it dropping the tri count from 9000 to 2500. I hope the new texture is… -
Re: Whatever you do, don't model the Enterprise
I personally don't find it attractive. If you modelled it really well, updating the design to be more attractive (less this, more this) then it'd be better. I put Warhammer 40K Space Marines in the same boat. The proportions of the figures look iconic and work at a 25mm scale but look like butt when you make it full sized.… -
Re: [News] ArenaNet now Accepting Applications for Class of 2013 Internship
My math's not great by any means so correct me on this if I've completely messed it up - couldn't you fit 8 512x512 textures into 2 1024x1024 textures? So you could do 2x512x512 diffuse, spec, gloss and normals. Or for the second example, a 1024x1024, 2x512x512 and 8x 256x256? -
Re: Hand painted stuff
Started painting, its quite hard because Im not good to paint(yet). Also changed mesh little bit. Now 428 tris, but the lower gem looks much better from side. Texture is 512x512, I tried 256x256, but it starts to be pixelated. Ingame it would not distract. Thanks for comments! <(^_^)> -
Re: explain it to me like I am 5, what is a floating point render engine
Disclaimer: While I'm a programmer, I haven't written a "proper" render engine. Some of what I say is from my own experience, and therefore may be less than 100% true. With that said... First off, one thing that we should be clear on with half/float/doubles are approximations of decimal numbers. Computers don't really have… -

Re: Game Art vs Game Programming
That isn't quite true. While you certainly -CAN- pay that much for education, it is by no means necessary. That's why I advised the poster to avoid overpriced schools like DigiPen. Each US state has its own semi-socialized universities, where tuition is partially subsidized by the government. For example, in my town the… -
Re: UV unwrapping help
Neavah, I think that's exactly what I've been looking for. I worked out how to create/edit a UV map, I was just looking for a method of sort of organising the UV islands before flattening the map, to prevent them being randomly scattered and broken up. This must be it, thanks a lot ;) Oh and one more thing seeing as this… -
