Re: Principles Office
@freill: haha ! so guys back w/ a quick clay render. i'm just using the daylight lighting system for now, and switch it back to what i usually use or bring this into UDK…. i think it reads 10X better then my J127 sci fi scene, a lot more negative space really helps w/ the overall read IMO. and i'll be adding a lot more… -
Re: [3DSMax] Rigging bendy things, blendshapes and bones in tandem?
Guess who didn't check if their fix for rendering also worked for fluid sim collisions >_________< EDIT: Ok, so since it's only the 2nd morph and beyond, I separated out the 3 targets into 3 channels and that allows the whole system to work. It more than triples the animation work required though so I'll write some… -
Re: Sharp Edge (a game character) [finished]
Little update: I've mainly been busy on the rendering side of things: now I have a better ambient lighting system, so the in shadow surfaces look a bit nicer. I also implemented a slightly better AA solution. Also, now I've got one of those juicy LUT shader for color grading. So I can make my presentation look all moody if… -
Re: Direct folder plugin won't work in 3dsmax 2016
Do not run 3D Studio Max as administrator - unfortunately, this means Max won't be able to save into 'system files' (Documents, AppData) unless you change the admin rights on that side. This is a 100% solution - I'll contact the devs and see if there's a fix. Incidentally, this also affects Photoshop and probably a load of… -
Re: Promethean AI announcement trailer
The machine learning systems I've seen usually analyze a pre-existing set of scenes, learning which types of props are associated with which types of furniture. Then it can start to extrapolate new layouts. So, they must have fed it a bunch of scenes to learn from. The weird thing is, no one understands how exactly AI come… -
Re: Q: What do you do again?
Q. What do you do? A. I'm a video game developer. Q. Did you make halo? A. Sure. ...or, if you're my mom (which you probably are), I "draw the video games on the computer, so people can play them on the nintendo system." :D Most of the people that are honestly curious as to what I do already know enough to decipher the… -
Re: 3dsmax 2018, I am afraid Max demise will accelerate.
Sorry, i only heard excuse and jumps though hoops to get heavy meshes working on blender. Not ideal, not by far having to rely on decimation to have a working viewport in a memory hog app. If, by any chance, it was the other way around (blender dealt with the mesh beautifully and 3dsMax maxed out the system memory and… -
Re: Retro Dive Bar
New lighting is giving nice atmosphere. One small thing I think could help a lot is trim. The vent system is great because it breaks up the transition and hides the abrupt seam between wall and ceiling. I'd add trim along the floor and ceiling, maybe some decals around the base boards of things (the stage, the bar) to… -
Re: Faster workflow using voice-activated macros
For rarely used actions I would rather use a keyboard shortcut with a command search/suggestion system. If the action is not used often I would probably forget the spoken command anyway or have to think about it. Currently I don't use any macros but remapped the application key to work as a modifier like Fn on laptops. If… -
Re: What's an 8-sided tiled texture ?
I had to use it in a PS2 engine, which was of course fixed pipeline. Ideal texture size on ps2 is 128*128 4bits (16 colors) and the engine used a subdivision terrain system. Everything was modeled in quads and subdivided on the fly (with nifty low res displacement maps, which was very nice at the time). I guess this is all…
