Re: Art test for Nintendo Wii
true enough what you say about the characters. the hero will need a certain polycount for cutscenes but the basic enemies if we go god of war style are usually pretty small (npc's in cutscenes being the exception) thank you guys! your feedback is most apprecuated :) -
Re: Avatar
Just saw the preview.. I gotta say im really not feeling the character design of the blue people, but damn... animations and facial expressions looked amazing. those action sequences were so fucking intense. Everything about it rocked except the fucking blue people... -
Re: My Giant Spider Needs Your Crit
the weight distribution on all of the characters except the one in the foreground is really weird. they all have these super dynamic poses, but all have both feet planted on the ground, way far away from their center of gravity. it might be good to get some better leg positioning -
Re: i want a norm for normalmaps
not exactly: object space normal maps won't bother about the object initial normals, so you can't have smoothing error, but on the other side they have half the precision (noise can appear) and you can't use mirrorring except using some tricks. -
Re: MaxScript- toggle turbosmooth
Nice Arsh, I wrote a similar one a while back, except it added a Symmetry modifier too for working on halved meshes. Skullbox is right about the NURMS thing though, I usually just use that for checking unless I need the centre seam hidden. -
Re: alpha in viewport prob.....pic included***UPDATE**
Welcome to the wonderful world of real-time alpha sorting. Not much you can do about this, except choose Additive instead of Lerp, and turn off sorting altogether. Better yet, turn off 2-sided, and don't model each curl with 150 triangles. -
Re: Desktop Picture Thread - 2008
Except for the 64-bit version of XP. I've been running it for a bit now, it rocks. I am comming from Vista x64, which isn't a bad OS, but for those of us who don't care for "bling" and want a barebones OS.. XP x64 is perfect. -
Re: arsh's maya questions
Plugins and whatnot can really crash Maya. Otherwise, it is far more stable than 3dsmax (6, 7, or 8) for me. The exception is the Direct X exporter plugin. I couldn't press Ctrl+Shift for a month because Maya would freeze every time. -
Re: Strange Dreams
last night: Me with samurai sword vs. a buddy with a fencing foil I rocked the house except I got stabbed in the gut a few times and it HUUURRRRT! I think painting/modeling weird dreams would be more interesting than writing them down -
Re: WIP Base/Generic Male model
Thanx for the comments!! i think its looking a whole lot better. but of course ill let you be the judge. i'v removed all the tris and made them into quads except for the ones at the crotch which ill make into a quad when i no longer need the symmetry.
