Re: Time to complete models?
Super broad question that has no real answer. 1 day = 8 hours 1 week = 5 days Modern main character? 4 to 20+ weeks. Modern simulation-game car? 3 to 10 weeks. Modern First Person weapon? 1 to 6 weeks. Modern tileable texture? <1 to 3 days. Modern simple prop? <1 to 3 days. There will be people that post after me to… -
Re: Competition for me?
I'm so keen on joining an environment competition :) It seems people either want 1 big annual competition to go all out on, or 1 competition every few months...... why not do both? And if the competitions become a big hit, then maybe turn it all into a contest with prizes if need be? So 1 x Big Annual Comp to show off all… -

Q: Unit setup in 3dsMax for UE3?
Hello, I am about modeling a character assuming is about 6 ft tall. According to reference (Mastering Unreal Technology), regular character height is 96 units (Unreal unit), and it tells 16 units (Unreal Unit) is equal to 1 ft (real-world unit).

Re: Unreal 3 Shadows not working properly.
ill just copy/paste what i wrote in the unreal thread. those are dynamic shadows. the editor hides them once the object gets too far away from the camera. if you want "real" shadows you need to bake them. 1. make sure the model you exported has 2 unwrap channels, 1 for textures and the 2nd as a unique unwrap for shadows.… -

Re: Ddo or Substance designer
So I -just- bought substance designer since it was on sale on steam. A couple things(although not specific to ddo vs SD) 1. is everything really in 0-255 range? I know i'm very much in an "unreal" mindset but it really helps to think of images as 0-1 when multiplying, dividing, doing any math really. And it really helps… -

I have gotten permission from the models creater 'Rastus' and hope that the leet skins (if anyone actually does skin this D: ) motivate him to get back into 3d. He's lazier than I am..… -
