Re: Thoughts on "DirectX 11"
It's hard to get excited for an API constrained to an unpopular operating system upgrade. Especially when so many games these days are shooting for a broad appeal, and thus the broadest possible hardware specs. I think games like Crysis and Supreme Commander have proven that pushing PC hardware to its limits is not a… -
Re: maya 8 help plz
Not sure what you mean about insert edge loop tool not making straight lines, can you post a screenshot? Have you tried deleting the history on your model before you use the edge loop split? There are 3 ways to split edges on a 90" angle besides the edge loop tool. 1. Use the split polygon tool and turn on the snapping in… -
Re: Best approach for animating a timed movement (walk, run) in space?
This sounds like a non-interactive animation, so you don’t have to work within the constraints of walk cycles and automated blending. Instead, this is a performance, you’re communicating the rat’s internal mental state through what it is doing. You’ll also want to make sure the feet are connecting with the floor, not just… -

[ QUOTE ] Whenever I get a chance I pee in the coffee at work [/ QUOTE ] Do you pee directly into the coffee pot in the break room, do you take it to the restroom, or do you pee into a separate container and then pour it into the coffee pot?

Derive from existing animation/rigs
Well, I need some help with animation. I'm working with blender(2.49) doing all the modelling,rigging and animating of a single character works great. But I'm now in the process of deriving many characters from a base character. The rigs will be similar, but have some differences in the bone setup, mostly different scales… -
Rigging with lattice & clusters vs joints ?
I have a general rigging-for-animation question. I'm trying to rig something that behaves like the magic carpet from Aladdin. I was trying to rig it in Maya with normal skeleton joints. However, I think I can get better results by creating a lattice around the geometry, attaching clusters to the lattice points, and… -
Re: [UDK] Palazzo W.I.P
I think what I would do for the vines is sculpt a tile-able mesh to use as a base and bake off your Normals/AO/Height/Mask and use that with a vertex blend shader to get a nice base on any mesh that nature has overrun. Then just do some simple spline meshes of vines/vines w/ leaves to add individually on top of any mesh,… -
Re: [UE4] Atmospheric Forest
@KrisLW Hey Kris! Thank you for your nice reply! It took me quite some time to get the lighting mood right. And I can assure you creating all the variations in foliage took a lot of energy and time :smiley: Yes all the foliage elements are animated. I tried to keep it subtle because in lush forests you normally don't have…
