Can someone explain to me what exactly this does? Is it actually a pen that takes lines and turns them into 3D (i.e like how splines can take a circle and turn it into a torus)? Or is it a brush that just copies 3d objects over a path? If it's the first option, that would be huge. I'd love to sketch stuff like triangles…
I'm from Melbourne, AUS, I've never seen anything like this. The closest I've seen is when Krispy Kreme first opened up this side of town. Me and another manager after work (got at the place at 2am) - joined a line of cars - not open to anything other than drive-thru. There were people directing traffic n everything. That…
The commercial is pure cheese, but I like it when companies take the time to try things like this (remember the live action Metroid one?). They stand out in my mind over the usual not-from-the-game-but-trying-to-fool-the-layman-viewer CG commercials we so often see. The old Ratchet and Clank commercials (before they were…
I am having a problem with thin black lines running across some of the UV islands in my AO bake. I am at a loss to what is causing this problem since the shading looks accurate in the problem areas and the normal map looks good. I did model low to high poly in this case (not sure if that matters) because im going for a…
For those interested that haven't seen it or do not know about Steve from g.n. "an interview to more steam things". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NSjvJDe6Ic I myself am not interested in these techs, seems strange to want to live in a "digital world", i can see some appeal but in the end its still fake, entertainment is…
I'm not at all a fan of Anita Sarkeesian (doesn't have much to do with her message, I just prefer action over talking about action), but I think Makkon touched on one of the most important points earlier - it's not just her life Anita needs to think about when these types of threats come in, it's the lives of any…
Hello! First post here so be gentle, but my question/problem has to do with the proper way of baking normal maps. What I'm trying to do in this test bake is bake this high poly cube to a low poly cube. I've followed all the rules that I've found on the subject including the biggest one I can think of, which is to split UV…
Yeah I wish it was still the same today with the gaming industry. It’s sounds like you had a blast. I still make games at home and I guess I’m still hoping it will get better some day. I’m working on that portfolio site. Thanks for sharing the link! Could I get a job like doing prop art with a decent portfolio? Is the…
Hey, I'll try to keep this short and coherent. I'm meeting up with some film makers tomorrow afternoon who are interested in creating a short Tv/cinema advert for a charity that works to help soldiers with Post-traumatic stress disorder. They are thinking about a concept in which a retired soldier is seen playing a video…
Hello again PolyCount, wasn't sure if I should make a seperate thread for this question but I decided to. I'm following Fanny Vergne's tileable texture tutorial for making a hand painted style stone slab (dem alliterations) on Vertex #2 and i've followed it pretty much to the letter, the only difference is that her…
