Re: Do you use a seperate texture for head?
If it's a naked character, then you need to make it 1 texture since the payoff is better with that and it will constitution one draw. Plus, you won't get any nasty issues with colors not showing correctly at seams especially around the neck area sort of places, and for fapping reasons, having one high quality textures for… -
Re: Need advice: building level design / lighting artist portfolio from scratch.
The way to get into level design as a profession is to just get right in there and do a lot of level design. Share your levels with others, get critique, and get exposure. We have some resources here http://wiki.polycount.net/CategoryLevelDesign Usually level designers are managed by the design department in a studio, not… -
Re: 3Point Custom Bake plugin (3dsmax experiment)
Really common with most engines actually(not being synced). Its not really been an issue that a lot of people were aware of until recently. Most people just assume nasty smoothing errors are "how normal maps work". Well, if you can't get accurate shading like with 3pshader, then it isn't synced. =P Synced doesnt mean "the… -
Re: Art Institute Visit
I have to agree. I am actually in class right now, taking one of the many classes I am forced to take, to fill credits, because I need to take 5 classes each quarter to receive financial aid. It has nothing to do with my major. In fact, I find that so far, most of my classes: Have taught me only the most trivial of things.… -
Re: ADOBE FLASH_game industry
I plan to set up a new Studio this year. And I have been asking myself the same question for quite a while. My conclusion is the fact that Flash was dropped from Apple doesn't mean it is dead. And for better or worse, I am placing my development bets on Flash. I love the fact that people can just land on a page and play.… -
Re: Pirate Gun Deck - Feedback wanted!
Awesome to see you posting here! And a really cool piece you chose to make. you have come a long way. I like your lighting. I have a couple critics for you. First I agree with what Kurt Russel and blaisoid are saying. Some dirt collecting around the edges of the glass would help. Just subtract this in your emissive map.… -
Re: Unity Web Player - For showing off assets - How easy is it?
As far as I know the Unity Web Player works just fine (using FF) and never had issues with that. Here are some Pro's and Con's + it's pretty easy to setup (just some code to rotate your model, or some more work to rotate it via mouse drag) + import model, tweak some shaders, place light, etc. all basic stuff and pretty… -

Re: Modular Environment Piece
Hey bud, good job getting the mesh in Unity. That shows you understand importing and working within scale. However there are a couple things going on that tell me you might be pretty new to 3D art (not meant to be an insult, I just recognize mistakes I've made and hurdles that used to challenge me). I see that you're in… -
Re: Can not get the right padding
Thank you Eric, it make sense to me what you say because moreover it would be a ton of wasted space with a distance of 32. But I'm quite confused because in textools for instance if I bake a blockout map using the same padding of 16, what I see then in photoshop is a distance of 32. But if I pack it's different result.…
