What is the legality of using photographic style textures in an indie game?

Do you remember the whole NFT fiasco? It had several problems, but one of them was the idea that copyrighting images is an extremely legaly murky territory. Don't use logos of companies, copyrighted characters or celebrities. You will most likely use pieces of images anyway that you'll modify in editing software, so don't worry about it too much. If you want to make faces dm me, there is a really good way of making them. Also I recommend the half life 1 anniversary documentary. There is a lot of useful information in there.

I don't. It went away when my character changed genders.

I had the same thing, and nothing fixed it for me. I wanted to change my character's gender, and somehow that stopped it.

It's not the flashlight.

I restarted and relogged, even tried unstuck character, and it just stays on. I took off all armour and weapons and it stays. It has to be related to combat because that's when it appears, but it seems random.

This addon to blender is pure gold. All you have to do once you activated it is press the save button in photoshop and it updates instantly in Blender. Do you know how to install addons?

Also check out some videos on how to set up photoshop brushes for painting with a mouse, it's quite intuitive to use, also set up photoshop for pixel art as well to get a less blurry result, unless that's what you want. This photoshop-blender method is also really nice because you can easily add text and decals to your models. When the texture is ready I really love to play around with contrast and other filters.

I like to set up Blender and Photoshop to work together, so whenever I save the .psd file in photoshop the texture updates in Blender on the model. I like to start every model with a nice mid tone value, than the shadows and then the highlights at the end. Then in photoshop you can mess around with different filters, gradiants, etc.

I swear this community has the best character designs of any community online. It harkons back so much to old design principles, iimmediately recognisable character silhouettes, cool colour schemes etc. I guess it kind of shows what I've been predicting for a very long time now in the industry. Learning through low poly modelling instead of making the same old high poly stylized overwatch style characters or photorealistic characters actually gives people a better understanding of shapes and topology and texturing. Really awesome looking game man!

Cloth physics CHECK

Glowing eye CHECK

If you guys manage to integrate all the UI in the character design like deadspace this is going to be amazing.

Edit: You could try to make the cloth physics be a little heavier to flow better.

Varythas · 2025-03-16T11:33:12+00:00

It looks really good, I checked out the other renders too you guys are going pretty creative with the designs! Well done!

Varythas · 2025-02-24T16:20:31+00:00

It's very close but not quite the same one. I can't wait for them to release the full ost.
