Creating a 2nd UV channel for lightmaps. I work in max. My knowledge of maya is limited. However, I recently was helping an intern with a UDK personal project he'd created in maya and figured out how to setup the 2nd UV channel for lightmaps. If I can just look at a tool and figure it out, I'm sure you can take the time to…
Firstly I wanna say its awesome! Fantastic job! I'm testing it in Max 2009 x64 and had some great early results. Only problem so far is editing the objects UV's but I might be doing it wrong. - I create a box (box01) and run the script, check the new and poly buttons and click my box01. - Headus opens and I unwrap the…
well you can either normal map the lids and eye balls which will give a good look, or model it. Its really up to you. as for the design I like it alot more, but it is simple so you can go with 2 decisions that I can see. the ones vig made it into which is pretty fuckin cool lookin and scarier. or you can go with that…
Lots of strong words there sledgy, but I agree with them. Solar wouldn't be needed to power all of our resources, just a helpful percentage of it. So a slow transition wouldn't be as costly. AC itself could be improved to use less energy and cause less pollution, with new methods being discovered recently. There are now…
Just want to interject with this: an exploration based game does NOT have to be open-world. Journey is very much about exploration (and wonder about new places) but it is strongly linear. It does not have to be a purely spatial thing either, I think. Exploring different crafting possibilities in MineCraft, or alternate…
WANDERING EARTH - Exoskeleton and Suits Tasked with designing the suits that the crew would wear on the surface, a lack of heat and oxygen makes the surface of the planet akin to an alien planet, we thought of them like space suits. One of the first element we worked on was the soldiers because they have an exoskeleton…
It's possible that your computer is running out of video memory. If you open Windows Task Manager, go to the Performance Tab and then click on GPU. If the graph showing Dedicated GPU memory usage is at or near maxed out, this can cause problems. A few things you can to do to reduce video memory usage: * Close any…
I've dropped some blockouts (scooter, bike, table+chair) into the scene and moved them around to get a feel for how it would fit, I've also tried opening some of the windows with some interiors visible. They could look nice but it's also fairly noisy considering how everything in the main shot is far away other than the…
Hay thanks for the feedback! The protruding piece where you mentioned is going to be where you can plug your pipboy in (the circular piece) and perhaps where you can slot in your game of choice (rectangular opening above it) This machine will probably just be the base from where I can begin exploring tons of cool stuff. My…
To me, it's a balance. You need to do both, you can't focus solely on practicing and never finish and you can't focus solely on creating finished work without pushing yourself to get better artistically. Ditto for artistic vs technical tasks, you've really got to strike a balance otherwise you're gonna hit a point in your…
