Re: Z brush, any good tutorials on it
I have the book as well and thought the same thing when I first got it. But the methods in the book, although applied to characters, tend to just be general sculpting techniques which can be applied to any bit of game art. Not to mention it covers zBrush very well and shows you how to apply the various tools to get the… -
Re: lcUberShader.cgfx - A Maya Viewport Shader for Fun and Learning
i have noticed problems chaning the name of cgfx shaders too, seems to happen less often if i deselect everything and select and rename the shader through the hypershade. maya 2011 seems to have a problem with the interface radio buttons and selecting techniques, this is probably related to the QT ui switch and/or the cgfx… -
Re: A tool to save your texture maps quicker
I updated my website to make the development of Quick Save Maps a bit more transparent. I will need to look into the DDS story first since admittedly I have not been working with this format myself yet. However, if the converter has a command line interface, you could definitely use the post-processing tool for that for… -
Re: Anyone Use Wings 3D?
Deathelmz - people have no hatred of Wings3d here, it was one of my favourite early modelling packages. The issues is that it is a simple modelling package and doesn't have a lot of the features that you require if you want to get art assets into a game. I also think that Blender has an awkward interface, but: * I'll do… -
Re: need engine advice
We have been running tests with DX Studio at my work. Right now we are still experimenting to see if it will do what we need it for, but I can say that there are tons of 'presets' for it that you can make look like about anything. We are also waiting on funding, but for our initial tests have been very promising. So far we… -
Re: [Portfolio] Sebastian Schade - Environment Artist
Hi Sebastian, great portfolio you got there ! Nice high poly stuff especially. If I were you though, I would move down or simply remove your game environment that is at the top. Since you start with i and it is your weakest piece, it drags down the rest of your portfolio. Aside from that, I think you should land you a… -
Re: 3d Max hotkeys questions
1) Just re-binding ASDF to Sub-Object Level 1234 (Personally I think you should also put "cycle" on G) doesn't work? 2) Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle. It toggles between two keyboard schemes. to set keys in override mode check the box that says "Overrides Active" in the Customize User Interface > Keyboard tab. I know a… -
Re: Facial animation: Blendshapes or bones
[ QUOTE ] Bone's are faster to setup and pose. [/ QUOTE ] In my pipline this isnt the case, considering that I am using the same vertex count and mesh topology for head for every head. Because of this I only had to set the blendshapes up one time and they are translated to every head in the game in one shot. If I were… -
Re: Indoor lightning for games. Lightmaps or realtime ?
Hi Obscura, thanks for replying. Basic light condition is very dark, but possible to get around without a flashlight. There will be many lights that will be interactive, not movable, but intensity will be dynamic. Some rooms may have more lights than other, but generally speaking, it will be dark. The reason I want GI,… -
[MaxScript] Transfer stack selection to Unrawp UVW
Ok. You proabably aware about this problem in Max its very popular request, but for some reason almoust no one still haven't solved this issue and those who solved want you to pay them money for that solution. I think its not fair that you should pay something for stuff that should be there by default. Which is why I…
