Re: Max: Smoothing groups
Thanks so much for the reply! I managed to get everything straightened out by applying an auto smooth at 25, then manually tweaking a few areas. I was mainly disappointed that the information didn't carry over between Maya and Max, for whatever reason, and is just something I have to re-do. The initial assets are fairly… -
Re: Huge terrain texturing
well. the whole question was more about the way to do this. me and my friends are making a game in XNA, so the knowhow is essential here :) i'm not looking to buy any engines any time soon :) btw. UDK is free if You use it in non commercial projects. though if You'd plan to sell it, 25% of everything You earn above 5 grand… -
Re: Age of an artist
33 here. And just about everyone i work with is 30+. Ive seen a 25 and 33 year old, both new to the biz and both having that same "young buck" mentality with plenty of drive and passion. I really don't think it matters how old you are when you start. If a place turns down great talent because of age, that place is prolly… -
Re: Any good books on animal anatomy for artists that aren't only about mammals?
Brynn Metheney does some awesome creature illustrations and has a gumroad breaking down muscles, bones, and how she lays down her structure. From the thumbnail it looks like just mammals, but her process looks pretty helpful! And it's not a book exactly, but there are 25 pages of pdf explaining everything.… -
Re: What Anime are you Watching atm?
Yeah, that is exactly the reason why i think that Chihayafuru is the best sports anime i've ever seen so far. I'm not convinced and interested at first, because of the art, the premise (what the hell is karuta?), and the episode counts (2 season so far, 25 eps each, sounds a bit too much for me). But here i am, craving for… -
Re: RIP Maurice Sendak
Sad to hear this, his artwork definitely influenced me over all these years. he was hilarious on the colbert report. http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/406796/january-24-2012/grim-colberty-tales-with-maurice-sendak-pt--1… -
Re: Crysis 3 - 'Maxing out' current gen consoles
Still 22-25 fps upscaled crap, will look good on PC for sure. Will spawn RROD's on xbox's though. If you don't keep your xbox in an open spot this game will ruin it. Either way consoles have been maxed out forever. Every year engines just get optimized more and then they cram more stuff in. As to Crysis the second one… -
Re: Heroes that need LOD0 item poly budget improvements
I really just want to see the rest of the heroes broken down, night stalker, and the rest of the reworks done, zeus slardar etc I hope that the new engine will raise most if not all the budgets across the board. If a lot of the budgets were up just 25-50 tris it could make a huge difference. And if most textures went up… -
Re: SUITE 1.7 PREVIEW AVAILABLE NOW (Updated: November 18)
Press "Space" in 3DO, and make sure the texture sliders are all set to the max value. For some reason my 3DO had diffuse map set to 50%, spec and gloss set to 25%. When I set all my sliders to 100%, the material in 3DO started looking very similar to Toolbag2. Can someone please explain why those sliders are not at 100% by… -
Re: Generic Fantasy Creatures
I don't see why, they posted a message at polycount saying they'd pay $25-$50 for models from the public, you use their image uploader and pick what they like for their low budget massive mulitplayer game. I'd imagein it would be cheaper than paying someone full time, and even if my stuff isn't picked, I still had fun…
