Re: Unreal Developer Kit - MASTER THREAD
ah thanks, didn't know about that hotkey :) edit: just tried it, that hotkey just puts me at the player spawn and doesn't put me in the game where my camera is like using right-click->play from here. and yes I am holding control, and a mesh selected (it gives me the dots over vertices as usual). For example, I vertex paint… -
Re: Just a warning for fellow freelancer
This is great, along with what every else has chimed in on! Usually I will take a good amount of screen shots, or a video, and request a percentage up front. I also started bringing in a 3 time revision structure, because sometimes people can get really picky, or they like to split atoms about details/change the style on… -
Re: My experiment with Lightmaps in UVch2
UV2 = each face has its own unique spot in the UV, so the lighting can be different & specific. Lightmaps are usually lower-frequency (less detailed than the color map), so the texture pixels can be quite large and still look OK. UV1 = you can overlap, reuse, and/or tile the texture to your heart's content. This makes the… -
Re: I don't get to say this often...
Snow is not that scary, freezing rain and sleet (what we usually see) does bug me though. Also why ask someone in Texas to at least risk there car going to work or school for something that usually only lasts a day? I can see New York trudging on, but they are going to have to endure it for a longer period! Anyway, back in… -
Re: Various Buildings(Image Heavy)
Thanks Cody your opinion is very important. I will get that implemented soon. ciprian0077: These renders are in Unreal engine3. I don't know how to make nice shadows or glow maps to display in hardware render(unless you do the software render but your normal maps wouldn't look right). That's why I usually take my assets to… -
Re: Mathimatical techneque to work out polycounts?
Bronco, It might help you to read these two articles. Many "secrets" are revealed, things you tend to learn on the job. You'll find in general that there are no hard and fast numbers, usually one of the programmers or else your Lead Artist will come up with some basic polygon budgets for each model. But these are usually… -
Any 3D Animators here? :)
Hello, good night. I`m starting to get really interested in 3D animation. I`m trying to push myself at least 4 hours a day to get better on it, but I have some questions that some ``veterans`` might give me an answer. * Usually in studios the animator HAVE to do the rigging? Logically he should know how to do it. * If the… -
Re: Learning to use expensive software in order to reduce foreign competition?
I'm not quite sure about your assumptions. Workers compete on prices, and companies usually try to maximize their earnings, which could include paying workers as little as possible, unless there are certain laws in place. I'm also talking more about Freelancing. When your freelancing, your usually on and off work. You may… -
Re: Baking Artifacts (90 degrees on curved edges) - Help me understand proper high-low modelling
heh sounds like a dream to me, many productions avoid them like the plague. but not for the reasons you would assume. it usually comes down to, how much content needs to be pushed and how many people with how many dccs work on a projects. if the answer is many on all of these, usually hard edges get ditched because all… -
Re: Shay's 3D Character Art Sketchbook
Trying to steer away from my usual stylised roots and try to lean more towards realism. I'm not going for photo real but just trying to branch out a little from the usual. I got some feedback on the head and i have a little more to so in terms of cleaning up the planes. I always get the angle of the nose into the face…
