Lol...guess couldn't let this one go, anyway had actually personally struck a chord remembering how it was when I had started out. Aside from the OP, many have bumped up against the frustrating challenge CG art can often represent...this 3D medium is no two ways about it really f**king hard! technically let alone…
I'm guessing you're trying to replicate the Airborn/Pingo tree look by using a solid mesh with a tiling texture with leaf planes pasted onto it? It is very important when using this technique that: 1) Your leaf planes are the same color as your tiling texture, they should blend in seamlessly. Right now your colors are VERY…
MoP: If they use a different UI framework, then fair enough. Not that I'm against skinning by default and it kinda looks neat too.But it's just waaaaaay down on the priorities list imho. e.g. better tools / more stability make me work faster. Different shaped and colored buttons....? And unless they reshuffle buttons and…
@Needse: That's really nice, good attention to detail. I'm falling behind on jam work with moving house, I was wanting to post them all together for some reason then realised that's stupid. So here's my work from Battle Creatures and Light Cycles. Based on work by Erica Milhomem I'm a fan of choppers (especially Suzuki…
Thanks guys ^^ Love to see that people are actually watching my "journey" through this learning process xD I've been working pretty hardcore last 3 days on the Programming side of things (the side I'm still quite bad at, but I'm improving xD) It's been a slow and frustrating process, but I finally got the attack system…
Jesus dude really? Way to be childishly melodramatic and self-righteous. The legacy behind the entire philosophy of showing up in person is that you are sending the message that you have the initiative to followup in person and have a genuine interest in the job. Both things that people often took as indicators of someone…
That's because the start up scripts are evaluated after macroscripts as described in the link Monster provided. You should put your start up scripts in a local folder on your computer and then add that path to the Customize > Configure System Paths > 3rd party tab dialog and restart max. Your start up script will then load…
i look at steam as a console replacement more then something i run on my workstation. i have a workstation box and an entertainment box. there not the same thing any more. i'm not going to buy another console unless its open box and i can upgrade the hardware. consoles have set back game innovation 4-5 years form where…
Real-estate sales/vis is certainly an application. The ability for end users to buy off plan from a real-time walkthru with the ability to change the color of paint/carpets, style of fixtures, etc. would be of benefit to that market, certainly. I'm trying not to focus too heavily on any one niche as we're developing…
Don't forget that mesh -> cast via tools like those of ZB are still funky, I wouldn't be surprised if the reason this cast here looks the way it does because the artist decided to Dynamesh several muscle layers as one mesh, just so that the 3D printing would work properly (especially if they already don't have a proper…
