Re: Shizuko - Game character progress [Beyond Human Artstation Challenge Submission]
@Chrysanthi np, it's always nice to help. By the way, now that you don't have a time constraint I am fully expecting you to blow my mind with the end result. I grew attached to this concept because I both have a weird love for mecha musume and you listened to my suggestions while developing it, do not disappoint me :) -
Re: Proper Specular Maps
I would import only one DXT with alpha channel, uses only one texture sample. In UE 3 with terrain those are really precious, because terrain is limited to 16 texture samples due to hardware constraints. Colour tinting could then be done in the shader/material. Edit: Though I never use specular on terrain :P -
Re: ADN Modeler Tools : Smart modeling scripts for Maya
Actually, what's that you're using in the video to display hard edges? I've been meaning to add a single checkbox to my edge MM to toggle the display and selection constraint for hard edges like that but haven't gotten to it yet. So on account of my laziness, I'd also like this. Also, I really appreciate that command list… -
Re: Let's Make a Cave?
What you end up going with depends entirely on platform, engine and time-constraints. Not knowing any of those, here's my polar opposite wild-guess-opinion to Eric's: Don't go modular. You can either sculpt or use sub-d modeling, polycrunch (reduce it in polycount) to the desired polycount, unwrap it and blend a few tiling… -
Re: PzKpfw VI Ausf. E
Thanks guyz :D Sometimes; for this Tiger I reused the steel road wheels for the Late Production variant from a SturmTiger model I did a while ago, but apart from that they were essentially made from scratch. I honestly don't like reusing meshes from previous models, unless time constraint is a factor. Some wirez, lol: -
Re: anyway to script some sketchup features in max?
CAD software uses "smarter" representation of a model, so that it has all those intelligent lines, measures, constraints... completely different from classic "dumb" poly models. and therefore not applicable as Sync suggested... I've worked with high-end CAD stuff and some features there are sooo lovely (look for solidworks… -
Re: Rigging question
The poses don't always have to match all the way through the pipeline. It might be more beneficial for artists to bend the arms in A pose and curl the fingers so they can be at the mid point of deformation like poopipe mentioned. But depending on the rigging system, that might be a nightmare to rig. I like to think of the… -
Re: reflections in marmoset?
Xenier: The problem here with using a flat plane like this is that the normals of the mesh are facing in only one direction, so you're only sampling a very small portion of the cube map. Try a sphere or really any shape other than a flat plane. This is also compounded by the fact that the max specular sharpness/glossiness… -
Re: Aztec Environment
Thanks for the input Guys! The tutorial site and screen grab really helped! I reworked the leaves and uprezed the Tiki to 1024x1024. I will go back and mess with the scene again when I pick up the Eat 3D dvd but will hold off for a little while do to cash flow constraints. Thanks for all the help! Here is what I got so… -
Re: Agrippa the Battle Toad
@leilei Hahaha. Glad I could surprise you a bit. @daphz Hey mate, thanks for the crit! I'm a hard surface modeler by nature and rarely do any organic. Due to my time constraints, I need to move forward with this; but I appreciate anymore critiques you can offer. Your work is amazing by the way! Here's the low poly for the…
