Re: "Grizzly" rifle
Thanks guys, and thanks @ComradeDispenser for the crits, always helpful. My texturing process in PS is to start with fill layers to get basic material values dialed in. Then add several pattern layers to each material to get texture variation. After that I use images and handpainting for contextual wear and tear. Each… -
Re: Adobe "Muse"
Somebody else might not, but you surely will and it's not always the most convenient way to make minor updates by loading a big complex application to do it. So, it would be nice if you could read what your web page after the fact. I don't see how your specific preferences invalidate the fact that visibility is a job… -
Re: Should I Learn Blender or Modo
Modo doesn't have modifiers. It's around a principle once done, it's done. Blender is more like 3ds max. A lot of live stacked modifiers. It's so a huge advantage that really overweights slightly less advanced and less context aware mesh modelling tools. Sometimes I watch Houdiny videos and think: ok, I can do same in… -
Re: more xnormal woes!
[ QUOTE ] jogshy: Every time I tried to expand its cage it just got all messy , is there a issue with that or something? Or im just not using it correctly? [/ QUOTE ] There are three ways to use cages in xNormal: 1. Use the built-in editor. Enter the 3D viewer and check the "show cage" and "edit cage"... Play with… -
Re: UT2007 Game Footage
Am I completely missing everything? It just doesn't excite me anymore... I know that the engine can do a lot, but thats from video of Gears of War. This just seems like a tiny bit shinier and a little more vibrant UT2k4. Whatever happened to the cool gameplay features I was hearing about? Like when the necris took over a… -

Re: [Demo reel] Galen Linnett
First off, I'd lose that horrible font. Just have your first image be a screen that shows your name and contact info for about 5 seconds. In that first shot, the transition from wire to render is a bit jarring. I'm a bit confused as to why you have 3d work, then breakdowns, then 2d work, then back to more 3d without… -
Re: Dissertation help - MAXScript to help Environment Artists
I think a basic knowledge of maxscript/melscript is essential to be a productive environment artist. I can give you some examples from my own experience. - I've created custom hotkeys for actions that were not hotkeyable in the hotkey menu. - I've tweaked TexTools & the standard Max tools to create a uv toolset customized… -
Re: FPS Hand-to-Hand Combat
look no further than Mount & Blade. sure, it doesn't look like much, but this is really one of the very few games i've ever played that's ever lived up to that whole "gameplay matters more than graphics" crap people always like to spew. you can play the game in third person, but it's also entirely playable (and very… -
Re: Correct way of baking normals for UE4
This will definitely help. I'll start trying right now. First, I see your cage has the same smoothing groups as the original model. After reading some information online, I was worried this could be a problem. Looks like it isn't. I'll try a bake right now in xnormals. If it comes out clean (and I really hope it does) I…
