Re: Alex's big push to better his high poly skills(Also Baking and material definition)
I'm personally not a huge fan of just doing 95% of your model in painted metal (wich tbh it doesn't really matter what spec/gloss value you put on that, since any would be correct with all the kinds of paint on there). In my opinion if you want to practice material definition get a wider range of materials with reference… -
Re: learning russian
While I agree what you're saying, Josh here does have a point. This isn't really related to game art or our industry in any way. Just someone who wants to learn a language. Had the title been something along the lines of "Which languages are most used in the industry?" or something along those lines, then that'd be fine.… -
Re: Chuggnuts UV Tools - Where to find?
Cuggnuts script is dated and doesn't work proper anymore with recent versions of max. Someone here at polycount fixed it to make it work though and provides a alternative download link: http://fearthedevil.com/words/?p=117 download link: http://fearthedevil.com/words/wp-content/files/2009/07/UnwrapTool_1.6.zip Though the… -
Re: MP3 player?
My phone is my mp3 player and before that my PSP was. Lugging the PSP around was a bitch so it was retired quickly when I upgraded my phone. A lot of phones even the free or near free ones can be used as MP3 players, if you're in the market for a player and a phone combine them! Just make sure the sound quality is good… -
Re: Affinity Designer and Photo ?
a bit late but i just stumbled over this thread. yes, affinity photo and designer are cool. they both go hand in hand, they are pretty configurable down to the toolchest, designer is a joy to draw and adjust strokes in (as opposed to - say - inkscape) and they are really fast with a lot more instant previews than their… -
Re: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Thanks for the answer, and a nice read that! Gotta respect Garriot for wanting to keep that in :) As for the Patch: I too was saddened to see it render Large Adress Aware useless, my game now runs worse and crashes constantly. When I used the LAA Patch on the Exe, I could play for hours without it crashing even once, and… -
Re: In-Game Vertex Counts - useful to know?
Hm, that's really interesting. I did a quick calc on some simple models I have, one which I thought would be quite bad had an efficiency of 1.14, which isn't too terrible I suppose. Another which I deliberately kept reasonably optimised had an efficiency of 0.82. Interestingly enough a highly optimised cube (no top/bottom,… -
Re: Upgrading or building a new PC? This is the thread for you!
Hi Guys! :) Now I'm working on HP Zbook 15 G3 Notebook, but it has it's own limits. So i decided to build a new rig for Game development -> ZBRUSH/MAYA/SUBSTANCE Painter & Designer/UE4. What do you think about the following config? Any advice is welcomed! * CPU: AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper 2950X 3.50GHz TR4 BOX * MotherBoard:… -
Re: Crossing from Maya to Modo
Oh damn you are missing out on a buch! There are just way to many awesome scripts like the seneca ones, the Eterea Swiss Knife(bunch of tools)(http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=119&t=81124), Eterea Slice Presets(makes subd modeling so much… -
Re: [Maxscript] DotNet DataGridView Add() + MultiThreading = Max Crash
It doesn't crash for me, but there is about a 4 second system freeze when I run the script. Adding the 3rd line isn't causing the slow down. I can add 10 lines quickly, it's right after it draws the scrollbar that the freeze happens. I'm not sure this is the right place to use multithreading. Even the regular 3ds Max UI is…
