Re: UDK Lighting
When it's an interp actor, it's lit with dynamic lighting (plus some indirect lighting) while a static mesh is lit usually only with lightmaps generated with Lightmass. These lightmaps in UDK tend to greatly wash out the details from the normal maps and make it look flat. Boosting the normal map intensity in the shader… -
Re: Car Baler
One pixel on baler is much bigger than one pixel on the tires. The pieces inside the UV map are scaled differently. So that things like the tires are taking up more space then the large baler in the middle. The tread around the tire takes almost as much space as half the baler lid on the UV map. When the tires on the model… -
Re: Tree texturing
^^ Great for masks Never leave the raw image with the black backgroud, always make the background a green colour that blurs with the leaves, otherwise you can get horrible fringing in the mips. Also, try to fit the uvs/polygons as close to the branch shape as possible to cut down on the number of pixels you are testing… -
Re: UDK - Blown out lighting when I add an extra light.
Hi there, I have little (no) idea about UDK, more of a unity user here but is there a pixel light limit in UDK? I have seen something similar in unity when you use a vertex light instead of pixel lighting - sometimes this happens if you allow 2 pixel lights in the scene so adding another light would automatically change it… -
Re: customizable nudge
I think I have a workaround: *IMPORTANT: Make sure under Edit > Preferences > Units & Rulers to set Ruler to pixels. Otherwise your action will record as Photoshops' default units instead of pixels. 1) Create a new photoshop action, name it properly and choose a function key to activate it (preferably so that they will… -
Re: Game Art for Comics
The simplest take on it is something like Stolen Pixels on the Escapist website which uses existing models posed in Garry's Mod. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/comics/stolen-pixels/8239-Stolen-Pixels-237-After-After-Curfew-Pt-1 It's not exactly high art, but it get's the job done acceptably for the most… -
Re: Yet Another Portfolio Critique
Oh webpage compression is nasty. I can really recommend weebly, I tried a couple and it seemed to be the best in my eyes, compression is also not really noticeable, but you gotta make sure your pictures are pixel perfectly scaled. Maybe thats the same on WIX Check if your images are as wide as your site, if not crop them… -
Re: business card design
Rooster brings up a good point, because this is print, you might want to consider converting it over to vector. When I was doing graphic design our printers always loved vector art over pixel art, mostly because it scaled, was easy to convert to different formats and printing methods (like t-shirts, posters, stickers), was… -
Re: Think you're good at drawing from memory?
yeah but we dont remember in pixels, we rembember in lines and colour and 3d awarness. its probably more akin to remembering a linear 3d game (like a racing game)with continous track and scripted events, instead of remebering every "pixel" wed remeber the shape of the helicopter that passed over its colour, its relation to… -
Re: What are best AIs for game art? Both for scripting and content creating?
Well. it's a common misconception, really . It's how you imagine it in your younger years selling your best works thinking you can always do better. I recall a professor in art school told us what we do now and few years ahead may well be the best we would ever do and I thought no way. Now I find myself asking chat GPT how…
