I struggled with map baking for awhile too. I came here and got a lot of good help, but I think the major difficultly with baking is that you are working blind, and then you have to sit and wait several minutes at a time to get your results. So if you are a self-study hobbyist who doesn't know enough about the computer…
Starting a business here is not really that hard but the problem is that a lot of activities are failing due to the economic crisis so it's difficult to keep a profitable company. Also the government will take the 50 % of all your yearly incomes. Unskilled jobs like waiter, bartender and so on, is not really an option in…
How the heck did you spend 15k triangles on that missile launcher? I think you could convert probably 12-14k of those triangles to normal mapped detail and it would look essentially the same. It just seems like an incredibly inefficient prop. I don't particularly like the design of it much either, I'd recommend scrapping…
First thing to consider : what is the material? The traffic cone is made with plastic, so logically, there shouldn't have rust on it : metal has rust with age, but not plastic. http://www.mcawilliams.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/fallen-traffic-cone.jpg Don't put rust everywhere, it should have a kind of "story"…
I think he's just saying that he thinks that the alphas count as part of the 2048x1024 texture space we're supposed to use. Also 2048x1024 is a power of two! Graphics cards 100% support textures sized like that. They don't support some features for textures like 1536x512, although textures sized like that can still work.
Hi! Sometime when working on resolutions above 4K, DDO will change the format of the project from PSD to PSB, if that happens the exporter can break. This is however fixed in the stability patch that Teddy released a few weeks ago: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=150503 Could that be the answer here maybe?
I totally agree with you also Path of Exile is having a race event with 5 Chinese vs 5 Western players on March 10th. This event will feature 5 Chinese and 5 Western streamers who are known for racing. They are racing to Kitava solo, so this is not a 5v5 team race. Winner is getting $3000, 2nd gets $1500 and 3rd $750: see…
Here comes another update! I'll start with the Ward Treasure Chest! A few months back I had the idea to do a massive colaboration with a lot of artist, I wanted to get everyone involved, and not just cherry pick the best, but have a variety of veteran workshoppers as well as some newer players. The idea is that we would…
Thanks guys, P442 one of my original designs was a one wheeled vehicle but i thought it didnt make enough mechanical sense, even with gyroscopes and the fact that they actually exist. I think with any trike or bike based vehicle theres a destinct possibility of flipping back if you floor it. Its something the pilot usually…
