Re: Good learning material for Character Art
Cool, thanks. Also if you could answer a question about reference images for me. For things like humans it's usually easy to find reference images that align, are of the same person, and work well together. However for things like animals it seems harder because photographers don't usually take pictures of them with 3d… -
Re: Stylized girl model (christmas present)
Grinch here, I personally think this is a bad idea, the equivalent of giving someone a framed picture of your face, except this one is of idealized proportions she'll never have. Usually girls will drop clues like annoying breadcrumbs everywhere depending on what they want but usually they don't care as long as it's… -
Re: easy way to make 1024x512 map
I usually do it with maxscript but scaling with snaping or with a uvxform works too. select all your uv faces and execute that in the listener $.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].ScaleSelectedXY 2 1 [0,0,0] first 2 numbers are scale factor in u(horizontal) and v (vertical) point3 number is the origin of the scale in u v w (you… -
Re: UV Mapping a High Poly
What I'll do usually is use xNormal. Export out the low poly and UV map that, take high poly and export that out as well but don't touch that after you export it. Once the low is UV'd, then take both OBJ's and bring them into xNormal and get your normals from there! Plus AO Map if need be as well. That's the workflow I… -
Re: Best MA study in Game Art and not have a ridiculous price
I hate to endorse a particular place, because I'm sure other universities had good courses too... but Herts really has really damn awesome showcase here, which I have only seen matched by (half) a handful of other universities. Tuition for international students is usually much lower in the UK than in the US. Schools in… -
Re: Last.fm
I'm on last.fm as well. http://www.last.fm/user/GovCorp i find that i usually get better recommendations if i listen to my neighbors radio instead of the generated recommended, humans are better at handling that stuff than machines i guess :) but like you guys brought up, i started listening to a singer/songwriter album… -
Re: Concerning Hobbits
i'm not aware that this is a problem if you live anywhere near a bigger cinema? it tends to get tricky if you want to see a movie in english AND NOT in 3D. usually the english version is being offered in 3D only. here in frankfurt i usually only manage to catch that combination in small 'arthouse' type cinemas. hobbit so… -
Re: Developer Diary - Fantasy Side Project
Looking good! yeah, the biggest issue with design is not what you can do, but rather should do it. and usually less is more, keeping the design philosophy focused. I think youtube is fine even for shorter clips, look at this for example. hes doing pretty much the same thing only in videos, they are usually around 1-3… -
Re: Henchman - WIP
well "real" scalemail kinda just looks like this. or this. you can easily just make the mail go all the way around like a normal chain mail skirt in real life. but my crit wasn't really aimed at the leather straps, but the small dots on the plates. usually scales are overlapping with each other, thus covering any visible… -
Re: Yiynova msp19u Cintiq Alternative
Usually 24" desktop displays are at atleast a 1080p resolution, thats why I'm comparing it to them. I'd say that retina displays are not just gimmicky, they are badass for people who like to have as much real estate when working with applications where the UI usually takes up much space(read 3Ds Max, Maya, Photoshop). I…
