Re: Gears of War 3 - Environment Art
The 'tech' is that these assets are modular and flexible, (With some bend and FFD modifiers, this is quite literal sometimes!) enough to be reused and recycled among a few more specialized meshes sprinkled around here and there, in addition to decals and different lighting conditions to further differentiate the small… -
Re: Help with 3ds Max Custom Bone animating?
Hi, what controllers your custom rig bones have? if you are animating using translations (IK for example): You can verify your bone's rotation and position controller types (in this case position might be correct) in Motion panel. By default, IK goal (it's just helper) should use PositionXYZ, which has Bezier controller… -
Re: Southern Somali Presidential Guard.
SpiderDude - Cool! i will definitely look into that, Im going to set up the udk scene and lighting to see what I am getting from the bare bones and do some evaluating then I will probably go back and do some more sculpting after that. DWalker - Definitely agree! the sweat is going to be in the end and the head definitely… -
Re: Video uploads on Polycount?
WebM is a container format especially created for Internet streaming. This open source video container is developed by Google based on Matroska and encoded by VP8 and Vorbis (updated to VP9 and Opus since 2013). MP4, abbreviated term for MPEG-4 Part 14, is also a container format following ISO/IEC standard, but more… -
Re: PNG Vs. TGA question in Substance
IIRC ue4 doesn't support 16bit textures (for materials) and the engine converts them to 8bit. I remember seeing some people with problems with washed out textures in ue4 with the sRGB check box not doing what it was supposed to. As for the TGA looking dull and oversaturated it might be that the sRGB property isn't checked… -
Re: Fat distribution and deposit in human body
Probably not what you want to hear, but: life drawing. and if possible, grabbing n manipulating the fat of people you know well enough to let you molest them. No better reference than life. I'd share online resources if i knew them, but I mostly just use IRL resources. I found animating fat people really taught me the… -
Re: 3dsmax9 and windows7
This may be a stupid question but did you install both service pack 2 and hot fix x64? Last thing I HAD to do to run max 9 was turn off "user account control" which btw is a bloated piece of nonsense anyway yet it conflicted with the program!! If win 7 has UAC be sure to turn it off as it does nothing for protection unless… -
Re: Brand new to polycount--looking for peer critique on some hero-props.
The Han Dynasty sword is nice, really no crits on that :) I think what could be good to focus on is material definition/variation on projects like the Railgun - e.g. take a look at the materials and presentation on this asset: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/eXngD Also, iirc this tutorial is pretty sweet for how to… -
Re: Maya hard edges not working...
Hm. Is Map UV Border the tool I'm supposed to use? I've tried that a few times and it seems to be giving me a lot of distortion. Admitedly the leg I'm working on is a bit curvy so perhaps I should break it up a bit more. I'll continue experimenting. That'll be a great tip once I work out how to use it properly. Thanks One… -
Re: Spanish People
The shading on the guy on the left's forehead is really weird. Doesn't define the shape very well at all IMHO. Also his eyes look very flat, I think it's cos you've made the eye whites, actually white. They should be a darker colour, and it'll look like they have more depth - also a 1pixel white highlight over the…
