Re: London cable car station
The pulley mechanism in the middle of the arch makes no sense, the gondola supports that keep the car on the line would hit it, and stop the car completely. For that to work, the wire has to go over the top of the pulley, and the armature that holds the car has to curve to fit around the pulley as it passes over it. Note… -
Re: 9/11 - 5 years later, what were you doing?
I was at my desk at GM. I was talking to my boss and the guys in the next cube heard that a plane hit the Trade Center. I was thinking a Cesna or something. Just like bearcub, we tried to access the news sites and they were ALL down. So we decided to wheel one of our media carts into the cafeteria and turn on the news.… -
Re: is there a grand syllabus of things self taught 3d artists should go through?
I just happened to notice this being mentioned (I made that). In regards to your initial question @oraeles77, there is a plethora of knowledge on the Polycount wiki as well as in the google and youtube wild. However, as a self taught artist as well, I can appreciate your desire for a more "controlled" process document… -
Re: [Unity5] Science Fiction Corridor
Hi Zhingen, It's already looking so much better! Your modular stuff looks great. I had some thoughts on polish; If you have enough time, consider making a T-junction piece for your modular set. As far as presentation goes, I think it would be more interesting than a straight hallway, AND you would have more opportunities… -
Re: Understanding Cubemaps
Because Object Position isn't surface direction. :) Even if you did use object world position you'll get a single 3 vector representing the centerpoint of the object. Even if you were to normalize that vector to get a valid range for a cubemap lookup, you'd get a single color. Now if you want an object that changes color… -
Re: Xbox One
There is no way on earth that they are going to release a bundle like the one you are describing. This system is expected to be no less than $400 just by itself. They don't release phones for free that cost that much. And bundling a Live subscription WITH a cable subscription would be a terrible idea as well. The general… -
Re: Painting weights disaster (Maya)
That's actually normal you have to do it few times to get use to it , first few times will be frustrating and wont look good Looks to me that hip problem is due to joint placement and neck is additive motion -> you have shared movement from more then one joints that share weights (neck1 + neck2 + head or what ever set up… -
Re: How to achieve Overwatch style textures?
http://polycount.com/discussion/135431/pbr-dagger Might be of some use to you - shows how to get a good outcome from using Stylised + PBR approach. Note that this uses the PBR-Specular method and not PBR-Metalness. Remember that textures don't have to look realistic to use a PBR workflow. :) Physically-correct can kind of… -
Re: [Portfolio Review Humble Request] Brian Choi - Character Artist
On your resume, I'd lose the gray rectangle around the headings (EDUCATION, WORK EXPERIENCE, etc.) - bold and caps make the titles stand out already, and if you need more than indent the content. You should probably get a new email address - there's no guarantee that USC will keep the account active, and it makes it appear… -
Re: Enrvironment Art Test
I think the main problems are lighting and material definition. If you compare the reference to your scene there is a huge difference when it comes to colors. Yours is almost everywhere lit with white lights and looks really flat, while the concept shows a lot of color contrast between blue, green and white/yellow light.…
