Move and sew (maya) = Stitch (max) Yeah? :) Also, of course it works on multiple edges, even face based selections (although I tend to just use edges as selecting faces may grab elements you don't want and stitch them) There really is a lot of useful stuff renderhjs has done in textools, definitely worth taking the time to…
The Dark Knight was a pretty complex movie in terms of the interweaving plot strands and that was very successful. I think that Inception will open big and word of mouth will dictate whether people will be put off by its confusing/unconventional elements. If it's advertised as 'James Bond meets The Matrix' then I think it…
Crap, I wrote a response to this this morning, and now it's nowhere to be seen. Oh well. I think you should make it all whiter. Bone has a tendancy to bleach the more aged and exposed to the elements it gets. Plus when you have the darker samurai armor, this will help with a nice contrast. If you can, make the pelvis…
Something without a huge number of assets. Bad = establishing shot of super cool place, with tons of 'neat little things' visible. Good = smaller, intimate space with a few key elements that you find cool/nice looking, that you think are within your ability to create (or a bit past your current ability, to make sure you…
polygonfreak, the threads are a helix that clip into each other and clip into the sides of the pipe. You're welcome to check out the level 1 .obj file below and separate the elements and smooth to check out the individual pieces the model's made out of. http://www.malcolm341.com/misc/workshop3_pipe_malcolm.zip…
jonathan - thanx! Ged - marmoset makes everything looks so goooood! Yeah, i know what you mean. Normally, I'd separate elements that use alphas into another group, then im marmoset i apply a separate material to that chunch and turn the alpha on.. Totally forgot to do it this time. It was so late..lol And i just wanted to…
[ QUOTE ] Five minutes after I enter the lighthouse, my top priority is killing splicers so I can rescue some dude's family. Atlas never even offers to help me, he just wants me to do something for him. What the heck? [/ QUOTE ] That's actually a key element of the story, Verm. Give the game a rent, at least, if you've got…
I would say the first element of the assignment should be how to spell the word "design". Spelling jabs aside, I'd say for the triangle count you've posted you don't seem to be defining enough detail. I think you could optimize that character quite a bit more, or add detail using the same triangle count. Good luck, looks…
Looks like an awesome game. How does one share their mod creations though? I can't seem to find out. Would I just be modding for me, or is there a way to get it to the masses? EDIT: I'm trying to find this out too... I heard they are releasing a multiplayer element to the game. Is this a separate purchase or free, or for…
I've done tunnels and lots of wall sections via path deform and modular sections, and it definitely works quite well. For many architectural element, a modular approach is definitely the way to go. Depending on the type of game, you may not be able to do everything in modular sections, but for many man-made architectural…
