Survival games
TL;DR: Eager to hear which survival games you've played/are playing, and what makes them unique besides their themes. I was playing Stomping Land's today; ~45 minutes on my lunch. I had enough time to join a small server, ask people for help, and eventually join a 'Tribe' of friendly people who were willing to give me a… -
Re: The undertaker - character wip
Indeed. So far, (and I know it's early on) your poly layout is somewhat poor. The characters hat has a much denser layout then anything else in his body. What bothers me is the appendages "feel" blocky. just by turning the orientation by 45 degrees it would not feel as squared off. Also, as a base mesh the arms might be… -
Re: Mod. H&K UMP with Attachements
Hey Obscura, thank you for your answer. Well, Chamfers would add more Angles to the Picatinny Rail, what means more Angles = More Smoothing Shit ^^ = More Cuts in the UV Shells necessary. But also i know that more Geo helps for better Shading, thats true,yes. I think that Smoothing Groups starts to shade bad from an angle… -
Re: HK 416
Not sure how good they are, but SimplyMaya has a Pulse Rifle Tutorial. Gnomonology has a Next-Gen Colt 45 tutorial with Zbrush detailing and such. CGTuts has a MAC 10 Tutorial but it's for premium members... That's all I can think of at the moment but really, Guns are just basic hard surface modeling. The most difficult… -
Re: Jinx, the loose cannon, Tits WIP
Looking good so far! Regarding the topology, I would recommend building her top straps into her shoulder geo instead of floating them. It will make your job of weighting much less stressful. I learned this the hard way a number of times :) I would also like to suggest that you build her shoulders more like a bent cylinder… -
Re: Star Wars Mania: Docking Bay 94
If I set the indirect lighting quality to 1 it takes about 45 min on my desktop system which is a 16-core Xeon system, however these images and vids the indirect lighting quality was cranked up to 7 and it took about 4 hours to bake the lighting at that setting. I am anxiously waiting for the epic guys to give us the… -
Re: How do you blend colors in 3DCoat? How do you smooth?
I think i found an example of what i'm talking about when i say "hard edged on every brush stroke". Right in the official 4.5 release notes: http://3d-coat.com/3d-coat-45/ There is this picture: On the right is pretty much what i get whatever brush setting i try. Very hard edges that are impossible to blend, because… -
Re: Does creativity exist for the 3d artist?
Oh hell yah - for me anyway. I'm like Vig, I've been spoiled. I came to Threewave as the 8th employee and we now have ~45 people here (60 total) spread out to 1 of 3 different FPS shooter (each 1 of the major engines) projects, so the teams are insanely small. The small team definitely adds to the creative freedom. It… -
Re: VFX Things and Stuff!
This is a great start. I love this kind of work. We were just talking about toon-style fx yesterday at work (I'm an environment artist working on a mobile game). You should take a look at the fx in Gigantic. http://polycount.com/discussion/137269/gigantic/p1 Also, if this is for a 3D game you should think about how your fx… -
Re: ooooh my please make this a reality.
I'm just glad I didn't grow up in a family like that. My friend's dad is about 45 years older than him and his mom grew up in Germany, so they only listens to Opera or Classical. When I mention that my parents are the ones who introduced me to music like Cake, Beck, The Offspring, he's just blown away because that's the…
