Re: Why is the game industry model broken?
the thing that pisses me off about digital distribution is this: i have to pay the exact same amount to buy a digital version of a game, as i would have to pay to go and get the game from a store. the difference being - at the store i get a physical, tangible product. if the whole point of digital distribution is to cut… -
Re: Animation Issue
ok, try this --> sometimes the FBX exporter just effs up for no reason (fun, right?). select both your smooth bound mesh and bone, then go to file --> export selection. select FBX from the drop down menu and look to the right (options). navigate to file type specific options --> presets --> current preset. change this from… -
Re: games fx artist and workflow
most of these links can be back tracked to find more tutorials. www.allanmckay.com Allen Mckay is a god among particle effects gurus and lucky for those of us who suck he shares a lot of his knowledge. He covers the basics of particle effects and takes you pretty far in. Paul Hormis www.hyperent.com His videos are great… -
Re: Career Advancement tips
Johny's right. If you're good enough, work will find YOU. However, I think that your portfolio would really have to be super fucking good for that to happen, and getting super fucking good at 3d is easiest to achieve through actual industry work... only my opinion though. Just keep at your 3d, and do as much networking as… -
Re: Maya
I suppose you are not going to like the obvious answer, which is: depends. But knowing that you're already well versed with modeling, I'd say it might take a day or two to pick up the basics. Maya is I think fairly intuitive, so once you find where different tools are and how they are organized, you will be able to figure… -
Re: Star Wars: Ep VII The Force Awakens - *spoilers*
I'd say the fact that the movie hits pretty much the same story beats as a new hope is a very deliberate attempt to banish the prequels from people's minds as well as remind people and get others up to speed with a movie that came out a long, long time ago. I think the probably overdid it, really, but I can understand why… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4 - UV seam, Normal (or lightmap bug), and symmetry missalignment.
So I have been messing with this a bit more. I got it to work by using an OBJ instead of an FBX. I really do not like that solution since Skeletal Meshes have to be FBX. So I kept digging. Apprently something really odd is happening with 3DS Max (2015) for me. If I take my model, export it as an OBJ, bring it back into… -
Re: MAX9: Xref object's materials aren't showing up properly
Yep, its ONE of the reasons I stopped using Xrefs. Just wait until it refuses to update the model and gives you a little X instead, and the only way to clear it is to restart 3dsmax. I'd rather cut my pinkies off then suffer working with Xrefs again... Autodesk spread a rumor around that they fixed and upgraded the Xref… -
Re: Buying the right hardware for the job
Yea. SSD is absolutely one of the best investments i made recently. Everything just runs 2-3x faster and all apps launch very fast and as well. I had a Q6600 as well but needed to update recently. I had 8gb ram and frequently I ran into insufficient memory so I had to upgrade that as well. so I got a new CPU, mobo, ram and… -
Re: MAXScriptManager
Still playing around with it and reinstalling all my scripts through this.. the error message is as follows (hope it's ok i didn't PM you): The clipboard install works around this nicely, though. Also loving the scriptspot feature, too bad some script authors don't use it as frequently as one would hope ;) an absolutely…
