Re: Brink Character Archetype
Great feedback Joseph. Once i'm done with my other random character I'll come back to this and work super hard on making the low poly better match the concept. I used the marmoset engine Di$array, I didn't mess around with the cameras and maybe i'm thinking I should now or alternatively use a lighting setup in max/maya to… -
Re: Best program/tricks for correct topology holes in hard surface
If you want to learn Nurbs, then Moi3d is an easy one to pick up and excellent for hard surfaces. The workflow is with booleans, and solid modeling. It outputs polygons, but its not a subdivision surface. You would need to output the final resolution mesh with this workflow. This introduces a lot more possiblilties because… -
Re: MEL - Script Why doesn't this work
{ string $currentSelect[] = `ls -selection`; duplicate -name ("NewObject_" + $currentSelect[0]); } $currentSelect is an array, so you have to reference an element of it. If you want it to work on everything you have selected: { string $sel[] = `ls -sl`; for ($node in $sel) duplicate -n ("NewObject_" + $node) $node; } IT… -
Re: Kraken - Dota 2 workshop
I think you guys did a solid job, however, characters like invoker, morphling, tiny, etc. you can only do so much with a single material that designs would eventually look similar. To be honest, I wouldn't be able to make something entirely unique from scratch for Invoker at this point, he has a wide array of great sets… -
Re: 3ds max - spline import
how complex are those paths? - if it's just a vector aka now quad or tri bezier curves a simple script might do the trick. If I am not mistaken SVG stores a stroke or path as a simple arrays of x,y values - it shouldn't be to hard modifying an existing script that generates a spline in max from it. here is some code to get… -
Re: Unity - Flat Shade Terrain (Seamless)
https://github.com/3deric/retro_terrain Maybe this can help. I tried to replicate the transport tycoon terrain in unity a while ago. It has NO terrain editor, everything is based on procedural noises. But it should be possible to feed it with a heightmap. For this you would need to transform the heightmap values into a… -
Re: Rookie moves you've corrected over time
I mostly got started by looking at the polycount wiki's subdivision page. I just learned to be more efficient with how many loops I put down and I weld extra vertices together until I get something resembling the bottom image. It also helps to use symmetry or array modifiers, so I can mirror all topology changes… -
Re: Homemade mocap?
I feel like the cleanup necessary on top of just getting the rig to capture anything of quality with Kinects would far outweigh the pros of mocap at that point. Would think it would be soooo much quicker to create a general animation sets and work out a procedural rig repoint/anim repoint system to apply to an array of… -
Re: Tech art blog, aimed at simplifying the tech for artists...
Awesome. Good to see more tech blogs :) Havent done much C++ in a while (always been on and off) but iirc from my crappy uni programming class, vectors were dynamic while arrays were static/fixed. Think when it comes to graphics programming, the word vector generally means direction. Would love an article on the journey of… -
Re: [UE4] Abandoned Factory Scene
Sup Marv, welcome. Cool scene. You've got a sick array of colours, would be cool to explore the environment! I think the moss is painted on weird, kind of blotchy, and unrealistic. The white material on the bricks looks a bit odd. I thought it was paint covering spray paint, but it's on every spot. The fern on the bridge…
