Subject: Blizzard Art Contest- bump mapping? |
| |
hey guys, i'm planning on entering some low poly environment art into the contest and i was wondering what your opinion was on this.
since its limited to 5000 polys, should i do anything i can possibly do with those polys to make them look better, like bump mapping, advanced raytraced lighting, reflection/refraction, etc? or should i stick with typical game environment tools, and not bump map/not use advanced lighting, etc?

thanks for any opinions.

Since this is an art contest, I would imagine anything within the guidelines (specifically the poly count) would be fine. It isn't a test of replicating an environment so much as showcasing your artistic ability, and remember that it doesn't necessarily have to be or emulate a World of Warcraft look or style. Think about how your art will be perceived, and choose the route that works best for what you're trying to do.
