Re: Generic Evil Bastard
True enough, I learned a ton from starting with a fairly dense sphere, modeling a head from that, and then painfully reconstructing it to get proper mesh flow. Someone pointed me to this, and I think it is a superior technique to the one I just described. http://www.3dtotal.com/ffa/tutorials/max/joanofarc/head1.asp You… -

Reminds me of FFVII and claustraphobia. -

Re: Guild Wars is gravy, polycounters unite!
yeah, i was out for 2 months and my stuff was still there. I've never read anything about them deleting them after a period of time ala FFXI. Depending on how long you've been out and your system specs be prepared for some horrible framerates in the xroads and orgrimmar. The honor system opened up all kinds of town raids… -
Re: Maya Hotkeys - Bane of my workflow.
Ok, icky fix, but it works. It was in the first place I looked, it just seemed like it was a bad idea. There are 26 named commands that get treated special and have their default hotkeys listed in menus, such as "File>New Ctrl-N" in Maya 2012. These are the hotkeys that will revert back to default behavior if you have… -
Re: 3ds Max Rendering Output
If Max crashes during a render to a single-file format, often that file ends up corrupted. If you render to sequential images instead, it saves everything up to that point. So you only have to re-render from the crash point onwards. Also if you choose a lossless image format, you can experiment with video compressions… -
Re: What was the modeling/texturing workflow and tools used during the Playstation era?
Yeah I figured that might be a thing too. There isn't that many PSX models available on models-resource.com unfortunately so all i can really base myseld on for humanoids is what was done in FF8. On the flipside i suppose that, since UV seams along a pixel lines makes them pretty much invisible, so you can have a lot more… -
Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
To avoid derailing Adam's thread I'm moving this discussion over here. I'll tackle these one at a time. These 3 are somewhat linked. To really answer this we need to talk about image formats and bit depth, so this is going to get a bit computer sciency, but read through it. We're all better artists for knowing how our… -
Re: A peculiar way of parking your boat
Some grain bags. They all use the same mesh and normals. Made mesh-variations with some FFD modifiers. These are quite large in size, so a few in packs will do.
