Re: [WIP] SciFi pistol based off of concept
Here are some update shots on the model. Still getting used to hard surface high poly modeling. Feel free to C&C :D Note: I did make a quick dupe to get the whole model together to quickly show it here. I will be cleaning up those nasty edges and adding in the missing bolts and other details in the final version. Just… -
Re: UDK Lighting Effect
Yeah. Either way, to simulate the overexposed outdoors behind the wall you basically need a really bright sky. Because, as far as I know, UDK doesn't offer any kind of tonemapping functionality that would simulate a video camera. Here's what I quickly whipped up from the UDK daylight template. Tweaked diffuse boost and… -
Re: 3DS Max scatter issue
Quickly check and see your Autobak files in My Document / Max, you might have access to an older version of the file, that saved itself right before the scatter collapse. Also, for the scatter thing, don't use any modifiers, instead use the Ribbon tool (there should be a brush that allows you 'scatter' a copy of a model… -
Re: Where Do I Start?
Ok, sure! By the way, ive been trying to draw more, especially trying to reallt6 get motion of people walking around very quickly. I had no reason to take my notebook home on a friday, but i have quite a few pages of the teacher and other people around the room; and i think they're actually pretty good.… -
Re: I almost feel like there should be...
threads like that will always exist because your average user is not going to want to spend the time to look for an answer in another thread, even if it is up at the top in a sticky. they will want a personalized response and they will want to know quickly... what better way to get that than start your own thread? if we… -
Re: HAALP!
From what I've seen, BSP is best for things like quickly designing levels and play testing them. If you are designing a level from mostly an artistic standpoint, maya has much more freedom. BSP is fine for things with lots of 90 degree angles that conform to grids. It doesn't matter too much which approach you take. Also… -
Re: How do you move the pivot to the bottom center of an object?
One other thing you can do, in certain cases like this... is leave the pivot where it is and detach all of the separate pieces. Each floor will be floating higher than the lower ones but that way when you import the pieces they all snap to the exact same spot on the grid and should align. In general this isn't ideal for a… -
Re: Bamboo tablet and concept art?

Re: How to be more creative with hard surface?
I'd like to echo pior's suggestion about drawing before modeling. Think of it as writing down your plans or something. For most people drawing a shape goes a lot faster than modeling it. So you can draw something quickly and not have to have it in your mind and focus on it the whole time you're modeling. Also practice… -
Re: Xnormal vs Other Baking options
I recently made cages for xNormal in zbrush by just quickly sculpting the low poly mesh to fit the high poly and exporting that as .obj to lead in as a cage, which worked pretty well. I recently gave Blender a shot and have been pleasantly surprised by the baking. I've been doing 2k AO maps in under a minute and the normal…
