Re: [UDK] Sci-Fi Cathedral WIP
Oooookay here's an update. Yes I know I'm slow. :/ I was thinking to make it modular, I guess that's a good way to go since it's such a big scene and many parts can be used multiple times? I also alinged everything to a grid so it'll be easy to place it exactly like it once I get to UDK. Problem with that is, since I'm… -
Re: Creating a Winning Game Industry Art Portfolio
yeah we should know about this before choosing schools, but at the same time it's a really weird system, If i had that knowledge back then I would still basically have to choose between actually learning what i should but have a hard time getting visas or I could choose the option where I can get a visa but instead maybe… -
Re: To teach the childerlings
Don't condemn public school either, though. I was went through that gauntlet myself. As painful as it was, a lot of who I am came out of that system - trial by fire as it were. There are benefits on both sides - people learn primarily through pain and the social interaction i was subjected to until i dropped out at 17 was… -
Re: thoughts on Linux?
I used xubuntu for about a year. It became a hassle, as there were a lot of things that didnt run like photoshop or zbrush so I would have to run windows in a virtual machine or dual boot. Then there were plugins for stuff that were windows only. Then you could never write to the root user without giving a password, and it… -
Re: Varnadgray (Timespinner fanart)
Been a few days since I worked on this. Today: Tuuuubes. I tried using curves to model the tubes, but trying to replicate the coils and loops from the sprite was proving to be rather challenging. Instead, I made a set of smaller curves of various shapes and then used a particle system to distribute it around the mesh. In… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 4
Woah, just read the whole way through this thread, seeing some pretty nice work so far! Tempted to join in myself, if not this month then next for sure. @ JeremiahJensen I had all kinds of headaches with the same export problem in Maya. It did exactly the same to me, and to be perfectly honest I can't remember how I fixed… -
Re: League of Legends gamer faces 8 years in jail for a facebook post
Sorry; but I have to take issue with that. Comparing the underground railroad, and freeing of enslaved humans....isn't anywhere near the same as making a very sinister joke about killing children in a school and eating their hearts. So I can't really see anyone using that to put it all into perspective. But, I understand… -
Re: [League of Legends FanArt] One VFX a day (or two), in Unity.
@Shadowstep: Thanks a lot! Actually, it's pretty easy. In Unity, I use the animator to animate the normal projectiles' position. Inside this object, I have a trail (a simple trail renderer) with a wavy texture and a material with a texture multiplied in screenspace. I also have particles systems with a few in local… -
Re: Maya Rigging: Single Skeleton vs Multiple Joint Chains
The idea behind a single skeleton is that some engines will use the origin as a tag point for FX and other content. It really depends on engine, the pipeline for engine, etc. Some engines can take advantage of the benefits of a multi chain rig, but a lot of in-house engines will usually require a single chain with specific… -
Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
I dont agree that there is a difference between physics and the colour (color) systems we use. Light is at the heart of the additive and subtractive methods of using colour for production. Understanding why the sky is blue and sunsets are red is not confusing the matter. It's important that we know about the physical world…
