Hey guys! Here's a preview of the 1.7 release. It contains a bulk of the functionality, with some surprises left. Please let me know how this runs for you and I will do my best to tidy up any mistakes before the official release is made. * Dynamask Custom Painting support // Add an infinite amount of layers/custom textures…
This could be left as split I think. Jordan - "more individual meshes = more draw calls." this is true, but it isn't true when we are talking about sub meshes or lets call them elements. "Preferably, you don't want to have floating/intersecting geometry as it leads to z-fighting." This also isn't completely true, then how…
Bit of an update, keeping the thread active. Going through finishing the blocking and just about ready to get splining. Going to work on getting him more balanced, tidy up the anim from game view and also show some more love to the left arm lol. I'm really trying to get the limbs reading in unison as they help to balance…
My no.1 rule for multiplayer maps: Don't let the players rest! Make it asymmetrical. It's too even (I know people have already said it but it's important). Because you're just beginning with level design, start small. Look at the classic CS map 'de_dust' as a starting point. It's a small map, but it had plenty of places…
To me, the time crunch was perfect in Dead Rising 1. You really had to choose, do you save the photographer and risk missing a deadline, or let him die and finish your current mission? It left it open to re-playability too. I went back and did things differently multiple times. Maybe I'm just old, but I could give less…

Does anyone use substance painter in conjunction to substance designer. personally i think that the only real benefits to substance designer is that it has has built in baker and it lets you real time edit in game engines. I think that its node based system is just more accomidating to…
@TomGT Hmm, maybe you're right. I did look through the long list of tips and things people do wrong with their portfolios and thought mine weren't all that bad, but there is definitely room for improvements. Horse update again. I scrapped the horn. The rest of the horse looks too much like a regular horse to be a special…
Hey thanks for the comments late reply, sorry. I got a new job and side projects had to take a step back whilst i started up there. Have tweaked the lighting and post a bit and looking back at my old images i think i prefer the old one, not sure though. Oniram - thanks for the input on lighting its an area i really would…
Hello there, I am currently developing my own 3D Animation Software and hopefully it will be ready for release early 2017. In that context I have been trying to come up with a new layout for my website (as this is highly needed). At current state it is just a mock-up so I was wondering if you guys could help me by spending…
X2 5000+ = AM2 or AM2+ mobo If AM2, best bet is 6000+ at $55, but may be a marginal upgrade http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103772 If AM2+, could go with X3(tripple core) 8750 for $75, which may make a big difference in max/photoshop http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103295…
