Hi erick, from my experience, different builds of the engine export cgf's on a random axis sometimes, it could be 90 degrees in X or 180 degrees in the Z. A simple solution could be to check which build the exporter for Max/Maya are pointing to in the Cryengine settings and setting them all to the same build for…
Actually decided to try that out, looks like they're doing a one asset a day thing, managed to crank out my first one. http://polycount.com/discussion/186685/3daily-y-not486#latest Maybe I can start building a new portfolio (at least the prop section) from whatever I manage to come up with over the next couple weeks.…
nice. i always black out my avatar, i think that helps with the visuals. for the tuxedo lapels, i would use a interior line and change the fold angle on it. you can set fold angles to either stay flat (180), fold over onto itself (0) or fold back under itself (360) (and those two might be reversed, cant remember which…
alrighty. I decided to break out the "insane graph editing stuff" after all since nothing else was working. I created a control mesh which was basically a flattened cylinder but with the normals preserved (so a flat plane with a round normal surface) I baked normals on to this control mesh from a flat plane, so in max the…
Even at $180 dollars its too much for me right now(sunk too much money into my desktop). This is all in comparison to what autodesk offers students. I still think adobe fails. But that is so true about photoshop never crashing. but I am so use to max crashing, I just save all the time. SO I did mess around in Gimp. I have…
Update: Ok got it baking the highpoly vertex colours ok in xnormals with out having to explode the mesh but, i came across this post that might help other people out in the future, will try it myself at some point. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1850064&postcount=8

It must be for you, because i only saw spots, and fat brush strokes i fail to identify as real forms. It's worse than to have blindness, or seeing everything blurry. That brown/dark shape under her arm, is supossed to be a hand? and where are the folds of the clothes? what is she carrying? I think it could be a matter of…
From what I've seen so far it is hard to find good resources for realtime vfx as it is basically a mixture of a lot of different disciplines such as lighting, shading, texturing etc. However, here are some tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwKQyDZ4ark And his blog is pure awesomeness:…
