My colleague Ben Garnell, who also worked on some borderlands 2 stuff said that was all just flat faces where different parts met, didn't sound too complicated (but that's just hearsay). I think if you want to mix a lot of crazy, very different guns, it's the only way. it just gets too hard to combine otherwise. We did…
A counterpoint to the theory that scary works best with what you don't see , is that I think it could also be what you can see but don't undertstand, and what you've seen before and now don't. What you can see but don't understand. This is easy because since most games let you fight your monsters you get to see them…
ferg-- Thanks! and thanks for that great responce. I do think we may have a slight failure of communication however.. I agree with what you said about not us not quite knowing how to "get emotional" about games, but to a certain extent. it's extremely rare that i see content that's not stereotyped.

Writing up a couple pages of technical information, cross checking it, validating it and packaging up examples takes a lot of time and experience. The question…
Spent a few hours yesterday doing a first rough go at a dirt material for the scene, which... honestly turned out a lot better than the grass one above since I actually took the time to observe existing examples and analyse the techniques other artists have used to make their stylised materials xP It doesn't really fit too…
sorry for the late reply,- although I have not yet been experimenting with communication between MS and JS or html through ports/ sockets or with the help of additional tools - I was able to communicate more or less with an embedded html / JS within max. it requires though that the html or JS file that is used is run…
Gosh, I wish I could just open up your level and click all the check boxes to activate features... You lighting only image tells us a lot of important things: 1) Your materials (textures) are too dark. As you can see, even in the brightest of lighting areas, your screen shots are almost totally black. This is NOT a…
make sure that you flip the green channel if you baked normals in max Also, your tri count seems very high, there are a lot of areas that seam really excessive(all the groves modeled in, with multiple edges per grove). And it seems like you've go so much geometry that it is hurting your bakes in some cases. Are the side…

A lot has happened in that timeframe, with many updates to the program that has improved things and added new features. I thought I would come and give an update for those who would be interested. The latest addition adds Animated…
