Re: Question about character creation workflow & retopology. Please help!
No, you're certainly not wasting your time. Character looks good. There are 2 workflows you can go with: 1 - Modular character: retop the base character and all the parts separately. This way you can swap out clothing in-engine for variation. Only rebuilding topology that will be seen(i.e - between his back and inside of… -
Re: UDK modular seam problem
No, doing what you're talking about is going to invert one of the faces and create that seam down the middle, whether there's a break in the UVs or not. It's like bookending a piece of wood - you end up with a mirror image on the other side...great for antique furniture, not so much for walls. What I mean is to make those… -
Re: Battle Axe - Hand painted texture
First off the model is super wasteful. Make the polys counts! The top of the grip has multiple splits? Why? It doesn't improve silhouette. The axe blade has too many polys as well. They don't add much. Collapse some. Be mindful of your poly usage. The UV map is ok. It's not great. You have things split into multiple pieces… -
Cylindrical shapes normal map baking, newbie problems
I'm a newbie trying to learn normal map baking, I'm using Maya 2008 and for the most part it's going well except when I try to bake cylinder type shapes.

Re: Smoother character movement for NPCs?

The video you linked to was the one I arrived at too. I know he calls it smooth, but that's linear rotation - hardly smooth :s I've been… -
Re: Learning to do anything as a hobbyist.
In my experience (and this may only apply to my own experience), once I have some basic knowledge of what to do, I set a project of reasonable scope and as my end goal. Something small, but interesting to me. This is critical. Then, I figure out what I need to learn to accomplish that as I go through each step. Making… -

Re: YouTube muting vids with copyrighted music
I'm more of a YouPorn connaisseur, myself.. :poly136: Anyways.. are they doing this whole muting business without first receiving a DMCA takedown notice? If so, that's pretty naff. If they're doing this after having received a DMCA notice, then I suppose it's a bit better than removing the video completely. However it's…
