Re: The Ego in Games
Gaming is a form of escapism; so whatever you are in real life, you're going to be the opposite in a game. It's why Master Chief doesn't really listen to his superiors but just kicks some ass and why Cloud has a unique and colourful hair style. And if you're just Joe Average who realises there are a million people that are… -
Re: UV layout techniques
[ QUOTE ] But a map this complex was going to be very difficult to paint anyway. [/ QUOTE ] So for that reason its worth making ones life *more* difficult? [ QUOTE ] It's going to have diagonal areas one way or another. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, but thats reason not to minimize the diagonals where possible is it? [ QUOTE ] If you… -
Re: MEL Script UT Sekeltons> how and Where?
All this is good info and uberhelpful. I have some investigation to do at home tonight, and I'll look up Norman on the web as well. I've focussed on Magdelena mostly because it really suits my (perhaps disturbed) aesthetic fancy. Another question: This may be too Maya-specific for you to answer, but can you think of… -
Re: Unity 2.5 game engine available for windows now!
Tulkamir I don't agree. The point I am Trying to make is that its unlikely that someone is going to buy the pro version just so they can see shadows working. re the maya analogy , you would be a bit pissed if you bought maya and the shadows didn't work. Its not like its an optional extra. I don't expect them to give this… -
Re: Roman Cistern WIP
Max's snap tool is the magnet with the 3 next to it (the other magnets are handy for scaling, rotating, etc). If you right click on this button, it'll bring up this menu box. You can adjust how you want snapes to work in the Snaps tab. I usually work in vertex. Under the options tab is Use Axis Constraints. This is handy… -
Re: Object space vs. tangent? (Character model)
similar to the tangent stuff, you could encode per vertex a "mirror axis" to make object space maps that are mirrored. Though I am unsure if this has been done before. the artefact thing is indeed true, mostly you have XY from -1 to 1, just like objspace, but Z normally is 0 to 1 however I also think most software you use… -
Re: Church of England vs Sony
I haven't seen anyone posting this in this thread yet, but CNN is having a field day with their headlines on this. Part of the Joystiq.com article on CNN's headlines reads: So, that's that, until dialog begins between Sony and Church of England; however, while the two groups work out their issues, CNN's headline writer is… -
Re: Biped mirror paste won't work correctly
[ QUOTE ] ...How do I actually mirror the bip01 rotation so it's just the mirror image instead of the 180 image? [/ QUOTE ] Just paste opposite, then rotate the Bip01 180 on the world Z axis. There is no way to do this automatically. -
Re: Quake-like movement
*cough* Lots of info across the board in there. Now for movement what you are talking is taking keyboard input, assuming you have an input handler class, and instructing the game engine to update the player entity's world position x units (coresponding to its speed per second divided by update time) along a vector facing… -
Re: 1024x512 texture stretching?
I can't say anything about Max in particular, but UV co-ordinates are stored with a floating point number from 0-1 on each axis rather than pixel values, so while some programs can only display a square UV space, games will interpret it properly. One thing you can do is lay out your UV's from 0-2 on one axis (That is, half…
