Hey Jordan thanks for the comments Yes they were rendered from mental ray. I am almost 99% sure that was from a real world replica that was made and not an actual 3d model. Although you definitely have a point about that though. I am hoping I can make just if not more kick ass though. For now this is the hi poly but I will…
i would say 99% of games released in the last few years have used it extensively. almost all environment work I have done has used tiling textures, trim textures and vert blending on most objects ive made. Space marine, sleeping dogs, socom and splinter cell have all used it heavily. haha just relasized almost every game…
Does anyone have any ideas about the scale problem? I'm really stumped here, and tons of searching on Google hasn't helped (although I know how to scale Maya models now, heh). I redid the radiators, getting them down to 603 polys each. The texture is 99% complete, I just need to fix some color issues. The normal map that I…
Well to start I was using Painter because I was trying to break myself into it. I caved in and switched to Photoshop because I know exactly what the brush is going to do and I was not able to achieve detail with Painter so easily. I will go back to painter for future stuff because I do like some things about it but…
Hi Zander, I have used Body Paint for some years and I just recently switched over to 3D Coat which is as just as good. Body Paint around $900 and 3D Coat around $349. I also use it for a scultping tool but that is not as good as zBrush. Download the trial and see what works. They also have a hobby version that is only $99…
Obsese woman are sooo `99 Quake3 style... EQ is trying hard to get the pedo-style adopted by the polycount community, but luckily there is a hard core resisting it so far Oh and hermaphrodites... isn't that how most n00bie 'hot' babe models look like already? I don't even dare to think what the next style might be around…
Maybe it's just me but I don't see what the point of the steambox is. Hardcore PC gamers don't need it because they already have their prebuilt or custom built gaming machines. Console gamers don't want or need it because they would miss out on all of their console exclusives. Also, if there's somebody out there who just…
Man I love Maple Valley! It's so awesome and technical. The feeling of going over the crest into the chicane, feeling that the grip is 98/99% and the car slowly sliding towards the outside curbs. The new seca looks good! I was there a month ago. That turn 8 is steep! I feel alot of the games doesn't really got that…
Headus is probably the best. But can't beat Roadkill's pricetag of free. Plus, 99% of the time 3dsmax's built-in unwrap is good enough. Pelt+relax is really all you need. I did see a video of one of the unwrappers lately that had something like a Density Map, where you paint areas that are important (like the face), and…
