Re: PC build need help
i believe it comes with its own cooler, which will do the job just fine. again though, you really need to consider a more powerful power supply. a 650w should be fine. remember that although the power draw of modern intel cpus is lower when idle/not stressed, when they auto-overclock they cause power spikes, if your psu… -
Re: UV Mapping, do I have to? Does it ever get fun?
I find UV-mapping fairly stress-free and don't mind doing it. If you don't already have them, Chuggnut's UV unwrap tools help, and also UVHelp UV relax maxscript is very useful for automatically removing distortion. Currently you wouldn't want to completely automate the process as you'd end up with fairly unworkable… -
Re: One thing I must do before I die...
Well for me, maybe as lame as it might seem to some people, it's to work as a 3D artist for games. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time and something I have been working at for just as long. I think I would also like to skydive before I die too. But that might end up being what kills me lol, either that or… -
Re: AvP Video
if any game ever needed a horde mode it was AvP...Squad of Marines vs director style waves of Aliens (runners, normal ones, maybe some face huggers), toss in a few boss aliens (predalien, praetorians) and a few predators, holy crap would that be amazing. I really enjoyed the first two (though wow was being a marine… -
Re: Motivation
Don't give up man. Try pushing yourself to look at other peoples work everyday, whether it be here or on other forums. Usually the main source of motivation for me is getting the inspiration from looking at other peoples work. That and the fact that there are bills that need to be paid lol. Don't stress, like what the… -
Re: No more "killergames" in germany
I think that outright bans on any type of game, is completely ridiculous, and ouright foolish. I AM however, in total agreement with legislation that bans violent games from children. A developing child doesn't need to be subjected to large amounts of violence. We adults however, use these games as stress relief. If people… -
Re: The Polycount TF2 server lives again!
Just a side note, please try to check the first post in the thread and get all the 3rd party maps we use before hitting the server so you don't have to stress the server downloading them, not to mention you will get into the game faster. :) I will try to keep the first post updated with any maps I add. And the server is… -
Re: [WIP] Need Critique on My Machine Gun (M2HB)
Great progress, and nice work on tackling the proportion issues, seems to be a bit more in line now. In terms of the HDRI lighting, I wouldn't stress too much on choosing different HDRI's from another, since most of your lighting work should come from independent light sources (hdri's help, but shouldn't do the bulk of the… -
Re: The Stranger Character + UE4 Character Customization Shader
uff thats actually more in depth than what I was aware off x) but yes the UVs are rotated and it is a problem. Thats why I stressed that planning the mesh is very important, because in my case I didn't plan properly in this regard and I only noticed this problem after I finished the textures. Ofcourse I could rotate and… -
Re: How do you get small details into textures/normals?
It just comes down to texel density. The lower it is, the blurrier/more pixelated your maps will be. For larger assets this is where mid-poly modeling + tiling texture/trim sheets come in. If baking unique assets you really need to spend time on optimising your unwrap. Too many new artists don't spend nearly enough time on…
