Re: Rotating models in UDK (lighting issue)
Just to clear this up, this has nothing to do with your normal map. I believe (if I can remember correctly) that this is intended by Epic. You have to remember that unless using fully dynamic lights you don't have real time specularity. From what I understand, UDK uses a light vector with 3 channels. If they had used 4… -
Re: Next-gen rendering trends
When I wrote my initial post, I was caught up in the early hype about ray tracing. I don't think my idea of art converging is impossible, but after watching Epic's keynote, I am under the impression now the technology isn't actually equal to Offline renders yet (as sprunghunt mentioned, they're not actually using a lot of… -
Re: Your dream technological idea
Yeah I love that idea too. Luckily with all the virtual reality headsets that are in the making, it won't be long. There are even '4D' movies in the making where the entire film happens around you in virtual reality and you can theoretically live inside it and experience the movie differently every time you watch it. Heavy… -
Re: Waterfall Environment
It's looking good so fra :) Echoing uppying the wetness of the rocks though, take a look at Epics GDC 10 map and look at the rocks with the waterfall. Notice it has a dry area and a wet area, try incorporating something similar to that on your scene (making areas that would get sputtered more by water wetter and areas that… -
Re: Art "inspiration"?
If I'm correct it's because many Asian cultures highly value being able to copy art as closely as possible. It's not that weird a concept, really. It's like how we keep repeating that you first need to be able to make an accurate anatomy study, and only after that you should try stylizing things and playing with… -
Re: Game Level Uni Project -Apocalyptic Building
Yeah but UDK is really easy to get stuff set up in as an artist. Everything you need: http://www.worldofleveldesign.com/categories/cat_udk.php The programmers I've worked with absolutely hate both Unity and UDK (Hipster programmers I suppose.) If you can show them how epic your scene looks with all the tricks UDK has to… -
Re: I am the only one who notice the stagnation in 3d software development!
Why does criticizing software (because I want to see it do better and make life better for everyone) mean I have to stop working with it? Would this logic apply to cars, where if there was something you didn't like about your vehicle, it means you can no longer drive? You can be an artist, make art with the current tools,… -
Re: Irvin Kershner died (director of Empire Strikes Back)
Yea...but George Lucas wanted to sell more Toys. Empire was by far the best one. Goraaz, "We had an outline and George changed everything in it," Kurtz said. “Instead of bittersweet and poignant he wanted a euphoric ending with everybody happy. The original idea was that they would recover [the kidnapped] Han Solo in the… -
Re: UTMC - Obsolete
Man it's a harsh restriction that people can't team up because I think you have some of the most creative ideas out there but your execution/technical skill/rendering doesn't match up. I love this one, and the geode but it makes me sad that your concepts never get past a rough sketch of an idea. Maybe after the contest is… -
Re: Female Planar Anatomy Study
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it the feedback! Edrice, I intend on having some cartoony proportions but I think even then you're right about the head being too small. I've been working on some head studies in order to get more comfortable sculpting the planes, and also to get better with more realistic proportions. That link…
