Re: Sketchbook: William, Saviour of Mercia
Here's the drawover you requested. Hopefully this isnt too vague -- the basic idea is take close attention to your ref, and focus on a more intricate division of forms/planes now that you have the base down. Personality comes from the little, complicated elements of the face. Try and get in there with a flatten brush of… -
Re: Help a n00b with materials in 3DSMax
Hey, I don't have a great answer, though, I have had a similar issue. So try to deselect the entire model, add the material on to the model. Reset the Material ID's (Select all of the Elements of your model and set Material ID to 1), then set the correct materials and see if it works. Alternatively try to create the… -
Re: The ultimate be-all end-all Parallax mapping thread
You can make a parallax map in 3DS max from hipoly geometry. To do this setup your projection onto your lowpoly as usual. Now in the 'normalsMap' element in the render to texture dialog there are two checkboxes called: "Output into normal Bump" and "render Height map to alpha channel" I check the last of these two and it… -
Re: technical highpoly workflow tutorial and scripts..
Well, modo doesn't have any animation yet... No idea if they will go the LW path, it seems more tho that everything would be integrated into the main app, then you'd just make your own UI with the elements you want or pick a defined one, like a modeling or UV UI now. I hope they go that path anyway. I wouldn't want to have… -
Re: naruto 360
watched my roommate play it the weekend after it came out. gorgeous game. not going to reiterate the points asherr made. yeah, the SD clips were poor and Japanese voice options would be GREAT. the generic ninjas were pretty lame fillers. bounchfx: your cousin must have blazed through it then, hitting only the story… -
Re: Anyone ever have this problem before?
Yes, I have had this problem before: http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=3&Number=53457 The exporter is what's chopping up your model. You need to go back in and make the whole mesh all one smoothing group (i.e. #1). Dunno why, but it works. One note, the MD3 will end up segmented (into Elements) according… -
Re: Old Cannon
@Pope & sampson.... Actually what you should do is detach that square in the wheels completely as an element and then delete the sides and re-cap it to remove all that extra geometry in there... Also a suggestion for your high res. you should scale in the tops of those rings. So when you generate your normals you get some… -
Re: Metal Enema
rv_el - for sure yeah, I don't think they're coming anywhere close to Pantera's status or variety but there are some elements in there, namely the way they structure the songs on their most recent album, and a few off of the vendetta album. What also stands out to me is the vocal stylings with the dynamic note choices yet… -
Re: DS new super mario bros.

Re: Portfolio Variety, opinions?
personally I'd make something different, if you just have 2 enviros in total. I don't necessarily thing in terms of diversity of the portfolio, but you also get the work with new design elements, have to do new research, etc. when making something different. There's just much more opportunity to learn with that than making…
