It seems likely that a lot of those happy without scripts are happy only because as new indie users they've never been able to use scripts and are unaware of what they're missing. But if they know enough about scripts to know they don't need them then modo indie is a great choice. Perhaps the term "indie" is a bit odd…
I was hoping to see the OBJ and UVs. I suppose this will work though. The mesh itself is inverted. It's easier to tell by going to Tools: Display Properties and turning off Double. So while you're in that subpallete, I'd jump to the highest subidivion level and then hit the flip button to flip the normals. Once that's…
Some bad parts of combining assets: * Less freedom of reuse. It makes the asset more specific and less re-usable. * Usually takes more time to make, requires rebaking from source assets each time it needs to change. Imagine you baked an entire house into a single giant draw call and saw a problem with a trash can. You make…
I started out with 3dsmax and had to learn Maya when I moved the the US. It's ok, I can work just fine with it but I honestly hate the fucking thing, the menus are a mess, the UVW editor is incomplete and I miss modifiers like the desert misses the rain. I still don't know what that weird ass menu that appears when you…
aesir: Thanks, homie. They're hard to do right. I'm back from GDC now and my mind is still trying to straighten itself out. I feel a little empty from having the deadline for such a significant goal pass, and I dearly miss the three days I spent hanging out with professionals. They flew by so fast, and I can't help but…
Well Bobos post really made me think differently about the themes I had before. Made me think of all the cool projects we would all wished we have been a part of, to try the style atleast. Im lucky working at a specialist character outsourcer that I come across tons of different projects every year with their own subtle…
I think there are valid points to be made from multiple points of view here, but calling people "brainwashed sheep" is a terrible way to attempt to convince them that you're right. The irony, of course, is that your post comes off as so extremist that I doubt many people here will even care what you have to say. Is IP…
Hi, after a longer hiatus than I would like, I'm back with some more designs. Please see below. I took some of the initial designs and tried to adapt them to different things, allowing for freedom with changes but I did want to make sure that I could narrow the direction down so a single theme. Whilst the "frilly" aspect…
I appreciate the honest and thought out replies. I'm glad that Polycount is not somewhere to hear people flip out when a woman comments on the boobs issues. So thanks. JadeEyePanda: I can get behind the "express yourself" route. As artists, we breathe via creativity and having the freedom to make whatever you want is your…
I found that you could make levels for Doom through a friend so we made a few maps together and set up multi-player long before there where any actual networks to do it. You had to dial into the other persons computer and it was a lag fest back then, 56k wasn't around at least we where not on it back then. Then I kind of…
