Re: Big chunky bastard (now with more lowpoly fun)
Finally got around to redoing the uvs and texture for the Fiat. Stuck to a 4-bit pallete this time. 188 tris including 1-quad shadow. Thanks Shep, the black blending came from my starting with a black and white and overlaying colors on top, doh. edit: I lied. I added another 4 tris for the exhaust pipe, bringing the total… -
Re: Modo - Smoothing groups and the infinite sadness
[ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvVt_QI-AXc"]modo 501 smoothing groups ideal for game modeling.mov - YouTube[/ame] Not sure if you have seen this but it might help.

Re: Arch viz and game engines.
Really? How about lightmass? Look at this image rendered in Redshift: GTX 470: 155 seconds GTX 670: 123 seconds GTX Titan: 77 seconds Also, modern render engines allow you to see progressive rendering result while you work on materials. Could anyone suggest how much time it would take to bake lightmass for such scene? -
Re: Using VUE for games, possible?

World Machine is pretty decent and I know a few game studios use it in production, either just for procedural erosion or for generating huge… -
Re: Developing for the mac
Oops! sorry that last link was a private share on Google+... so I guess I can't really share the exact info here.

Re: Guitar Hero 3
You know, the more I listen to 181.fm's net radio station "The Eagle", the more it hits me that GH3 really shouldn't have the title "Legends of Rock"... there's so many great 'oldies' that really should fall under that title that don't appear in the game. A good sized chunk of the songs in the game are relatively new, and… -
Re: Trying to learn 'Next Gen' texturing
hey fizzly, looking good. one easy tweak to better sell tiles better is to break the continuity in the texture. each tile's detail flows near flawlessly into the next one, taking the diffuse, and rotating every other tile by 90 or 180 degrees can help this stuff out a lot. :) What you've got there is a pretty solid texture… -

[ QUOTE ] Hey Rick, does Rockstar still sell any of the full music collections from the GTA series? (I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the VC one, and the SA one wouldn't be too bad to get ahold of).

Re: Maya hard edges not working...
Try Edit Polygons>Normals>Set To Face. Then Edit Polygons>Normals>Soften/Harden and select the faces you want to be soft, type in 180 and hit apply. Then select the edges you want to be hard and type in 0 and hit apply. If you ever have any questions feel free to AIM me. I'd be more than happy to troubleshoot anything.
