Re: Ghost Nova (Starcraft 2 Fan Art)
Hey guys, it has been a while! Here is an update of Nova in UDK. There is still lots of work to do to the textures, the spec is literally just the diffuse with a couple of adjustment layers. Big thanks to PauP and Harford for their ongoing critique which has taught me a lot and made me have to redo much of the work which… -
Re: StarCraft corridor for short film
Bevels are important because that's how in real life objects get their hightlights. The quality of a bevel tells the viewer if the materials has sharp edges, if it's smooth. If you are doing high poly modeling or any kind of modeling and you want a model to get a highlight in a certain area, to get the model to react… -
Re: big dumpage...lowpoly, highpoly WIP +concepts
enix: thanks so much! and i think you are right about the spec level. i'm new to spec/bump....i'll tone it down. mr rockstar: thank you as well! these models are lacking something...i will admit. these were pretty much exercises to shake off about...and inch or two worth of rust on the ol'character modeling skills.… -
Re: Treasure chest
I would definitely suggest improving your poly distribution. Even modeling out some more of the bigger shapes instead of relying 100% on the normal map to sell it. I would also suggest making the spec for your wood muuuuch darker. Right now it looks like someone applied a coat of finish to it, and doesn't really match the… -
Re: Demo Reel IN PROGRESS
Lighting like everyone else said but before you finalize your lighting, what stood out to me was the spec. Do you have any spec maps on these? It looks like you just put a blinn on everything but didn't really adjust the settings on the spec and diffuse. At your school, do you have access to ZBrush or MudBox? You might… -

Re: Advice with Learning Shader Programming
Hey all, trying to get Spec and gloss working now. I have my gloss in the aplpha of my spec channel. They look like this: But it seems that my specular is always getting blown out. Here it is with the gloss spinner at 100: And here it is at 0: Here is my code: string ParamID = "0x003";float4x4 wvp : WORLDVIEWPROJ < string… -
Re: Can someone explain this metallness/PBR thing to me.
I don't see how the metalness model is an improvement over regular diff/spec/roughness in any way, both from a workflow perspective and from a memory perspective. In pretty much all real-world cases, you would need a metalness map, because the materials in a texture are never 100% metal. Dirty metal, partly painted metal,… -
Re: Storage Room/Basement Scene
Cool, thanks for the advice. I'm a total newb to lighting/UDK. So would you say it's more advisable to place my lights on the basis of where I want highlghts/spec to be prominent rather than trying to replicate how the light would come "naturally" in the scene (within reason of course, obviously no lighting shit from the… -
Re: JordanN's PS1 Art Thread: When 500 triangles was high res.
It relates to on old worldview I had on game graphics. I didn't quite understand why PS1 specs would be desired. But when I started to do things that wasn't mainstream, it kinda hit me that I shouldn't have to worry about specs all the time. Like when I wanted to copy the Iron Giant's style, I wouldn't have needed UE4/PS4…
