That SMART is an interesting system, I just hope you guys tie it to RPG elements so players actually level up jumping and climbing so it becomes a core ability that players grow into, balance, and customize over time rather than just an "easy mode" button. Maybe your character's particularly good at climbing so you know to…
Take a look at any anime out there and compare it to your render. even when things are dark, scenes are overall pretty bright, or contain bright elements or characters as contrast. I feel like someone is about to get mugged, but I didn't watch the whole video. Self shadowing should be kept fairly minimal, the first thing…
i'm not familiar with the tutorial or what influence the UVs are supposed to have but that just looks like skinwrap's effect range does not reach far enough to grab the outer elements. try playing with falloff, distance influence and face limit values in the modifier settings. if no setting gives a desireable result,…
Here is the first idea I'm working on. It's a garden pagoda. A traditional Japanese garden element. After the stone texture I will add some water effect as well. But since it's my first dota item I would like you to have your ideas about it. How do you think the model looks like and how could I enhance it. P.S. I know…
Are you guys talking about this thread? http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94188 I made that Knight way back using that concept. I just did it for my folio. Looking at their site, Tornado Studios seems to have made their version for an actual mobile game. I thought without permission from the original concept…
Hi @Finnn glad i could add some feed back. On the subject of the metal clasps, could they become something other than clasps? I mean could you alter them to become a scfi element of the strap, i'm just thinking as you want to keep them. Glad you have some colour variation , could you add a gradient from the bottom so it…
I used to play it, unfortunately stopped because the game is just not going anywhere, they hardly have any support because the team is completely dedicated to Lord of Ultima. I have 5 Battleforge boxes next to me. >_> Why? Because $9.99 = 1,000 BFP. While 1 box is only $5-$10 and they give you 3,000 BFP as well as a deck…
Houdini plays super well with other apps in my experience. The situation you described would work no problem, however there is a more intriguing possibility because of the Houdini Engine. You could bring the network that makes the building into Max through the Houdini engine, model your windows and other facade elements,…
You can manually copy UV shells to smoothing groups: - unwrap window, select island - add edit poly to stack - select element mode - add desired smoothing group (can easily be automated in a maxscript) You can also use max's default built in dx shader mode by holding in the display in viewport button (in the mat editor)…
totally. Sounds like a great idea. Had a thought that maybe the story could follow and inanimate object. i.e a wrench. The wrench gets used as a puzzle element. complete the current scene. The wrench falls from the sky ship onto a boat, complete puzzle, wrench gets picked up by bird, dropped in a tower of some strange…
