Re: Awesome, Bully has 100 hours of gameplay!
See, that is the thing. While exploration and sandbox gameplay can be fun, I actually prefer my games to have more linear gameplay. To me it is like comparing a "choose your own adventure" book to a novel. I would rather play through a game with a great storyline and some explorative points than a game that lets me wander… -
Re: 3ds Max - Custom Rig Interpolation Issue
You'll want to go into the curve editor (Graph Editors > TrackView - Curve Editor) select those keys and click on the "Set Tangents to Linear". Which is the Euler way of handling curves, Biped by default uses Quaternion and the TCB values (Tension Continuity and Bias) to control curves. Biped can be set to use the Euler… -
Re: [UT2K4] God Horus (*Update* Model download)
I agree with most of the points listed. All of those linear detail bits get lost unless at an upclose level. At a distance the masses and shapes work well, but at a mid-distance there is not enough tonal groups to break up the large mesh shapes there. maybe if you set some direction to where the linear segments are going… -
Re: [Maya] Animal ear rig suggestions
Since the movements are kind of linear blendshapes might do the trick. depending on where the model ends up maybe a simulation can be used to add bobbiness like they do with hair. But just to achieve these poses I think blendshapes would work fine and they allow direct artistic control. for a dog ear folding back it doesnt… -
Re: Typical Workflow in Game Art?
Plus, with the software most of us use these days (a lot!!), the process is non-linear and iterative. But as a beginner, keep it linear. Try different approaches. Work through the traditional stages: build a low/high-poly simultaneously by using a sub-d approach. Optimise your low. UV unwrap it Bake it Texture it. Then try… -
Re: 3DS Max + Crazybump normal maps... help?
The first 4 images are displaying the NM correctly. What shading errors are you referring to? Max is set to gamma 2.2 by default so all linear maps - greayscale and normal maps - need to be over-ridden to gamma 1.0, as Monster pointed out. You are using a legacy Omni light with no attenuation so the light will have very… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2014 Edition
it's a lot of testing right now, what gives the best results. so far linear uv borders with interpolated inner uvs work pretty solid, not totally perfect as max doesn#t keep the borders totally linear i think - but padding fixes most of this a much more complex mesh, again normalmaps created solely from the lowpoly, no… -
Re: Max 8 Character Studio Issue.
Biped uses TCB values (Tension Continuity & Bias) instead of the standard F-curves to interpolate between keyframes. What you want to do is change the Continuity value to Zero on all your keys to essentially get a linear movement. To access the TCB values select all the keys you want to edit, right click on the keyframe in… -
Re: Article: Game Art Art
The problem seems to be photoshop. Their gradients, also entitled as being linear are not linear in the resulting image. I don't know about color profiles and stuff within photoshop, there might be some way, maybe working with the gradients in 16 bit might help (only saving in 8bit) but i didn't test it. my result with a… -
Re: Speed Animating Thread
Rmunday, your translate y arcs are off. They should look like rainbows side by side. Also, your translate X is off. If you have a key frame at eh start of the animation, and the end of the animation, on the translate x, you can delete all the other key frames inbetween, so that it has a linear line between the first and…
