Re: [UDK] Dragon's Nest environment
It's cool, but also like you said, goofy. Personally, I'd axe it, only because its pretty rare. Didn't even know it existed until now, so when I saw the first picture without reading text I thought you might be trying to do some kind of different effect with the sun. Thats just my opinion, but yeah. Everything else is… -
Re: 3ds Max Rigs:: Wire Parameters offset and Constraint conflicts
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2904948/Tutorials/fubar01.max The trick isn't to rig one system that can do everything. It's to layer objects on top of the rig that isolate single axes. I didn't use anything complex, just look at constraints and HI solvers. This example isn't perfect. If I had more time I could… -
Re: Weird shading error
That was rather strange (or I'm an idiot). I already tried to make it planar without a selected axe, but it wasn't helping. Then made planar on the x, that was helping just as earlier. Then I redo'd it and it was still good. o.O Anyways, thanks a lot Quack. :) Btw, if I'm here I ask it, what do you think about the long… -
Re: Fantasy Warrior
Hey, as promised here are some pictures of the "final" (for now) model, wireframes and some realtime renders from marmoset (which I couldn't quite get to work like I wanted but good enough!) C&C is welcome, though I doubt I'll make any major changes now. I forgot to write down the final polycount, but this entire scene was… -
Re: Zynga layoffs
Well, it's not a surprise that things are going sour when the average CEO makes 500 times what the bottom wage earner makes and jobs are being devoured by outsourcing and automation. The people at the bottom can't afford the mass of goods we're producing. The distribution of wealth is so top-heavy, there isn't enough to go… -
Re: A discussion on the E3 Expo. Is it time to evolve, or maybe expire?
E3 is rooted in business. Where developers meet with publishers to get game contracts, and publishers try to get press interested in order for retailers to buy more copies of games and hardware to stock at outlets. For example, if you see a new Logitech brand peripheral at Best Buy in a few weeks, the order was probably… -
Re: Torture Knife
Needs a better and more interesting lighting and camera set up. 3 point lighting set up. Needs roughness variance/noise on the surface, or at least lighting that communicates it's there. It doesn't make sense the bas relief of skulls would also be on the striking edges. Why would the end of a blade that makes contact with… -
Re: I need an experienced eye to help me understand what I'm seeing here...
Triplanar mapping is just world space projection in 3 axes with a blend based on mesh normals - theres no magic there. The screenspace thing was semi facetious. You could do all the projection and texture application in screenspace as a post process effect if the mood took you (it's probably not a sensible approach though)… -
Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
What can I do to fix this horrible obvious triangulation? (noticeable on the edge of this axe blade) Rebuild the mesh somehow? Surely it might not be as optimized when it comes to where the triangles are. But I'm not so good with these things. You can see it much more obvious in marmoset or in any other engine. This… -
Re: Assassins Creed 2
I think the 'problem' with combat in the first one was that you never were actually overwhelmed, which was kinda contradictory to the whole 'stealthy, run and hide' kind of thing. Think of it like Metal Gear Solid, you could go crazy and run n' gun, but the idea was to craftily take out the other guys, or get by them…
