Re: Development Diary - Dilza
Hi Dillon and welcome. Concerning the software you use, and please anyone correct me if you feel I'm wrong here, but I think it mostly comes down to what you know/what the studio you work for uses. I've not used much Cinema 4D but most of the people I know who use it work in advertising and digital media rather than games… -
Re: Normal Map - Seams - I'm getting to old for this grinding diarrhea
Aaaah, feck it. EDIT: OK, so this is the question I have now, why don't people create the correct tangent 'bakers' for their software before releasing it? It doesn't make sense, atleast make the information easy to access so people know. I just found out today thanks to EQ that UDK is NOT synched with anything except Max's… -
Re: Getting an iMac for 3D rendering. Suggestions?
For $1500, You should be able to get more than a 650m for sure. Even my 5 year old €1000 can almost keep up with that (my 4770HD is only 20% slower). I'd suggest going for a GTX660 (desktop version, not M) which is about 3 times faster than the Mac, yet costs only $150. According to… -
Re: Rendering your game assets, why not UDK/CryEngine?
I think you people are trying to read too much into something that doesn't exist with too many variables. I have yet to see someone mention for example shadow issues pending on the card type and drivers you might be using with a specific engine (shadows in real-time don't work in Autodesk products on AMD 8xxx series cards… -
Re: How is 3D-scanning useful for 3D-artists?

Re: 3ds 9 : "Error Creating Bitmap"
When Max crashes and it says; "attempting to save a copy of the scene, this file maybe corrupt". Then send off a hate mail "bug-report" to Autodesk. Then you open the file it attempted to save and everything looks ok so you press on. Guess what its royally messed up on the back end. You're better off going to a previous… -
Re: [Portfolio] Sota Yuyama, Character Animator
I can only imagine what your mix files must look like for the break dance, heh. You might find puppetShop limiting because it has 3 layers for its clips, the transition tool is really just a faked planted key and the clip management is a bit cumbersome. But you can't beat it for rig flexibility, need 50 arms, ok. Its also… -
Re: We teach and tutor Game Artists!
I'm interested in learning more about the 8 week Advanced Character Course, especially the class that deals with "Muddboxx". I have never seen or used this software before and I'm dying to find out what it is. Kidding aside. - The site is hard to read, tiny fonts and some of the titles on things seem to capitalize words… -
Screengrabbing FBX in a folder
Hi, I have around 3000 fbx within one folder and I want to screengrab and save a jpg of each individual fbx and have it named the same.. ie tree.fbx - new file.. tree.jpg. This will make it easier for artists to see what the fbx is without having to import every time.. so is there any software out there that can automate… -
