Free or cheep software for students & cost or alternatives for FreeLancers
Free software for students and cost for graduates (freelance), here is the list, what do you think? please add any software you think needs to be added. While the course will obviously pay for professional software my worry is when they graduate will they be able to afford the prices if they are freelance and just starting… -
Re: Texturing: How'd they make this diffuse map?
You'll find plenty or ressources about baking curvature maps from high to low, as this is one of the very essential passes used for texturing and pretty much every baker supports it. There are also ways to such data directly from a normal map (since in many cases it contains all the needed slope information), either with… -
Re: I need portfolio help for college admission.
Sorry I don't use 3dsmax. I'm a Maya user... But I'm sure you can find good UV wrapping tutorials if you look harder. Better. Now, you might want to decide on what to focus on. It helps if you know what you want to do. Usually, it breaks down to (depends on who you ask/talk to. It will vary a bit). 1. Characters 2.… -
Re: CE3 - Project Drift-pig
@the major - I welded the entire body back together in order to fix the problems I had with smoothing/silhoette of the car ive not cut them back in (scroll down to see!) its been very difficult to keep going back to the drawing board on some sections and the easiest way to do so was to keep the entire model welded… -
Re: [3ds Max] Some more annoying/rookie Unwrap questions...
1) You can do it either way, but there is another option. 3dsmax does let you apply unwrapUVW to a selection of objects and it lets you operate on all of them as if they where a single object, but they aren't. It applies an "instance" of unwrapUVW to each one. However it does have some issues with some of the tools. Relax… -
Re: Hand painted wood practice
Cool stuff! The one thing that stands out to me, is the highlights are pretty strong, almost as if it was stone. Wood isn't that shinny and generally any lighter colors are raised spots that catch more ware exposing newer wood, so its more worn down than sharp shinny highlights. The surface of cut, untreated wood has very… -
Re: Question for people in industry, has 3D got boring for you?
Yeah so true. I'm back to using 3dsmax again at work and I fking loath that program. What a truely horrendous uncreative workflow backwards program. The only reason it's being used is because people are so used to it, but it's time for a serious update altogether. maya isn't even much better. Softimage was the last time I… -
Re: Complex room - main walls in bsp or part of the static mesh
Thanks for the tip, I'll stick with "all in the static mesh". As for Source and models, I feel like it's a pain to get one in the engine, I mean, they never seem to be part of the level, the lighting is always a little bit different than the rest and they stand out in the wrong way. UDK gives the ability to play with the… -
Re: Anyone tried creating assets for ArmA 3?
Yeah there's no modo-to-oxygen (objectbuilder) custom exporter, so I export things manually as separate fbx 2006.11 files (seems to be the most compatible with objectbuilder). So I keep the lods as separate meshes within my scene, and export these files into a 'source' folder. There's a picture of this setup in modo on… -
Re: New Modeler - Would Like a Little Advice
What are you trying to do? Do you want to know what the whole process of making a dota2 item looks like? Have a look at this tutorial. I now read that you have a model with 900 tris. check this website to see what valve allows. First you want to make lod0 and then reduce your tris to lod1. If you just want to get anything…
