Yeah times change and people forget what words mean. I guess to me (and the dictionary) "mod, modification" means something different. I don't see the terms "new game" and "mod" as interchangeable for what this person plans to do. To me mod means you take an existing game, and change it slightly, but pretty much the core…
This is a cool idea. Using Max 5.1, when I Alt-Click to remove a vertex from the spline, it kicks me out of Draw mode, and I can't re-enter the same spline. Looks like Undo isn't available yet. Would help avoid the need to Alt-click. Overall though it seems like an unweildy modeling process. It's pretty click-heavy,…
Wow thanks for the speedy replies guys. sir-knight: You've made me wonder now. I'd thought it was a good idea to go to the i7 920 as its the bottom of the new range. The price difference between that and a quad core isn't that much and i figured it'd give me a good option for upgrading when i can afford it in a year or so.…
hello John, thanks for coming here and thanks for the tool =) btw, just a hint from an unexperienced maxsdk ui coder, it's much easier and faster to do the ui work in maxscript, and control the plugin via functionpublishing. I'll try to compile for max5 and 6 (6compiled should work for all) tomorrow.
Hello everyone! I've been very inspired by Dannie Carlone and his zbrush+designer workflow (him and others!) that totally shows the strength of baked geometry, and that brought me back to the first thing I ever wished I had in SD: a mesh node !…
I found loop node recently as a replacement for slope blur with unlimited number of sampling for things like that. it might get quite slow although. For "disorder" you can just set different seed slider for initial blobs in tile sampler node or different seed in displacing noise. You can also use random darker tints in…
Videocopilot is your friend: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/basic_color_keying/ I would recommend a quicktime container with a h264 codec for youtube. Also, for colorbanding there is a little trick. sometimes it works, depends on your screen really, though. Add some fine grain to your footage, it breaks the…
There's a big difference between coming up with the aesthetic ideas of a game, the universe, the characters, the story etc. and coming up with the actual dynamics of the game that will make it a blockbuster. The casual observer will often mistake these aesthetics for what makes these games massive hits, when in fact the…
