Re: Sketchbook: MoP
jocose: Depends on the stage of the project, but I tend not to do too much "art" at work - I do the occasional highpoly/lowpoly/texture (usually item/weapon asset stuff), but it's mostly in-game implementation, Maya scripting, performance optimisation and general workflow stuff. This stuff is mainly just me wanting to get… -
Re: 3d Studio Max - Symmetry Tools not working for outer edges?
I don't know, maybe the reference mesh isnt perfectly symmetrical ? Since you don't have much points, you could just 2.5d snap or copy paste positions manually. Else, you could try that, tho it works the same way. http://www.rpmanager.com/plugins/Transmographier.htm or http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/morphix to… -
Re: Looking for stable and cheap 3D polygon modeling software.
That does not mirror my experience in modo. I've a 2mil poly scene open right now with a solid ~63 fps when zoomed out. For memory I get around 15-30 fps with a 13mil scene I've got. The only problems I've had with high geo stuff is exporting; sometimes I have to export half my items to once to avoid it crashing (though… -
Re: [Testing] Using Headus to pack Lightmap UV's
seems like overkill to use headus for just packing already existing shells, what we really need is someone to write some good plugins for max and maya specifically for packing lightmaps. also that workflow seems a bit easier in maya, could export out the mesh as obj to do lightmap uv's than when bring it back in use a… -
Re: Lighting Artist?
Sorry to bump this old thread, but i figured it was easier to elaborate in this thread. I've been studying a lot recently, mainly lighting/rendering book, colour theory and photography books and this area really interests me. If anyone has any knowledge on how companies hire for these positions it would be greatly… -
Re: (Unity) Hand Watch - Marmoset Skyshop
You can put antialiasing in the camera per script, just add it , super simple FXAA 1 is probably the best, unity dosnt have that great AA unless you use forward rendering, MSAA is not really working in deferred, if oyu use forward then go to unity settings > player The back of your watch looks like ice, and the front is… -
Re: scifi things a day
Cool stuff! Great job at pumping these out. Are you doing the grebble by hand or you got the good old grebble script in the background (doesn't look like it though)? How is your mindset towards giving your pieces a sense of scale? In other words, how are you incorporating it in your renders? I'm not feeling the grand scale… -
Re: 3DS Max viewport animation
You can render a preview, and set it to whatever resolution you want (pretty much). http://download.autodesk.com/us/3dsmax/2012help/files/GUID-02B83BCD-6621-4F0F-878B-9781A07C996-2310.htm For the alpha, you could simply change your shaders' diffuses to white, and re-render a new preview. Then batch-combine the two videos… -
Re: Cave Creation
There was an article about generating caves procedurally from a few different noise algorithms. I believed they used Maya and a bit of scripting to create procedural modular caves based on privatize shapes. It seemed like it was doable in other packages that had access to procedural noise modifiers, but they managed to… -
Re: [Maya - Xnormal] Normal map baking
Hey Tom, Most of the artifacts are because of the hard edges or smoothing groups and there are a few random seams in the uv which will cause problems as well I redid the uv, cut where the brim meets the crown and then applied a hard edge to the uv seams if you want a script I have one low poly looks like this final result…
