Re: Environment Texturing
I would definitely recommend using tileable textures for the floor and walls. On large objects, tileable textures generally allow for a far higher texel resolution than is otherwise possible. You can add variation to a tiled surface by multiplying the tileable texture with a dedicated texture containing colour variation… -
Re: Stump
Ok. So first listen to what the others above have said. Its a tough industry to get into, so it will require a lot of work to get there. Don't keep making threads for each model in your scene, it will just annoy people. Get an imageshack or photobucket account (its free and easy). When posting images use the imbed code eg:… -

If you want to get that dense look, you will have to simply use more alpha mapped planes. Personally, I model my branches in… -
Re: Unreal Engine 3 - MASTER THREAD
Thanks alot neox for the fast response. Yeah i forgot to change the phong to custom. I thought it would be automatic. I guess i got my answer about the cube aswell. Ended up popping in a constant there instead. :) I would be very interested in seeing the Airborn shading tut and I think the rest of the 3D world would be… -
