Re: Meta-Video-Gaming and you
games that have any character, even an obviously tutorial character that say "press this button to do this" or make any other overt references to the control scheme take me right out of the game. on-screen instructions are ok, but don't break the fourth wall with a game character. for as brilliant as it can be in places,… -
Re: My first character model WIP UV issues!!
Thanks for the tips guys. I'll look at the pelt mapping. Ironbearxl, thanks but I am still learning max, and blender is a whole new beast. One app at a time lol. Still I will look at the unwrapper in blender, the app is free so I won't need to fork it to check Daz - I just want to see if the engine can take a 21000 polly… -
Re: computer help please
That's just about what my Sager NP9262 has. I have no problem at all. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the benchmarks on SLI 9800's weren't anything to rush to the store over. I don't think the extra arm and leg is worth the dule performance cards anyways (more like bragging rights that mean nothing in the… -

Re: So what are you working on?

Re: UVs, rigging, and some other questions
3dsmax? Maya? XSI? Modo? Silo? I use 3dsmax for the most part but I'll try to fire off some generic answers... 1) Unwrapping: - For organic shapes, I normally apply a planar map, then select some faces, and detach a chunk. Select an edge or edge loop, break it and relax the piece. Sometimes I'll convert the edge selection… -
Re: Metal Specular Maps - Your Methods
such a direction texture would likely look similar to a normal map, I think. as it would be like a rotation matrix for each pixel. as 2d rotation would be enough R/G could store sin/cos of the orientation and maybe use B as stretching factor.. two years ago I did some stuff for university where I generated such per pixel… -
