Hey Guys! I'm John, one of three developers at White Lotus Interactive. We've been hard at work on our first title - XING: The Land Beyond. While visiting GDC this week we were directed to the polycount meetup and met some members there. Although all three of us are totally guilty of lurking on the forums, I was finally…
alrighty. i changed my mind. i was working on the skirt and i was dragging the skirt down for more area to work with, and then i realized; oh damn. it looks pretty sick if i'd do a full body (so yeah you planted a seed when you suggested extending past the bust @Fabi_G !) or at least the illusion of a full body, since most…
I'm just wondering how you guys would go about creating this kind of detail: Like, would you sculpt every swirl, or use some kind of way faster technique? Also, does anyone know the proper name for this kind of design / pattern? Thanks!
Like the title says. I'm blocking out bat wings for a low poly character, yet I'm having a lot of trouble with the membranes between the wing bones. I can just extrude out and plane and target weld it to the opposing bone, and when I try to bridge polys across i get overlapping edges and verts. How should I go about…
might be a little bit of a spoiler, obviously one of the main confrontations in film since its on all the movie posters.. the scene ends right before kong really kicks the dinos ass but still a very suspensful few minutes of wonderfully coreographed fighting between two beasts, check it out if you dont mind sneeking a…
Hey, i am back with another maxscript issue im facing. in Maxscript for sw 3D Studio Max 2016 I am currently trying to build a series of functions to among other things get loop/ring edge "spans" between edge selections or specific edges. The first step in such a function is reliably getting the next edge in the loop/ring…
Got no arguments from me, that's looking very good. Perhaps make the telescope more eye catching as that seems to be the center piece. Maybe gold trims on all the ring shaped parts and well something to contrast the wire going into it so since it's black...white might go well although kind of plain. Oh well, I'm sure you…
A Del Toro Hobbit could have been interesting, but I'm not sure whether we would have got 'good' Guillermo (Pan's Labyrinth, Devil's Backbone) or 'bad' Del Toro (Hellboy 1+2). I kind of feel like in the more mainstream films he's done that his visual style (as accomplished as it is) has gotten in the way of telling a…
King Kong had around 10Mio or something only in his Face, thats why they initially invented Mudbox, as there was no Software to handle it when they started working on King Kong. Definitely not in the 3d Mesh but in the final displacement, and then it doesn't matter if you have the 10mio in your app and push render or if…
Hi, this pose is probably going to be ok as long as he is not extending his wings. If you want him to be able to extend his wings to the point that his "wing elbow" articulations are straight, having them bent at 90° by default might be a problem. A less than 45° angle would probably work better. If you expect his wings to…
