We are looking for a talented Character concept artist to help us create this new world! Taking place in a world, where a galactic wide war has finally ended after 8 long years, you enter a world unlike any other, where a new war is on the horizon, and a galaxy full of unsolved issues for 100s of years lie. If interested…
Along the lines of what others have been saying, what makes a good robot design a good robot design isn't the individual details but the overall balance weight and silhouette, this is pretty much true of every kind of design. keep working on blocking in a good silhouette before getting into details like these. Also, when…
Functions also exist as their own .uassets - and when updated or changed, will propagate to all materials that use them. Both handy and dangerous, you could fix a problem or add a feature in one fell swoop, but you can also break everything that uses them if you're not careful :) Functions aren't just material layers…
Hm, it seems that the compression problems don't happen if I don't use addnormals or smoothnormals, problem is this: Without the image functions the normalmap acts as if it was completely out of whack, not normalized and everything (noticed that before but this seems easier to fix than the image function problem). Running…
I may just be going about this wrong. I have a medium res model to start. I then throw in the proper edge loops to keep it from collapsing when I subdivide. Then I go into Mudbox.... From here I get a great wood texture, and set up the subdivisions to about 6. I then, with the Knife tool, start paining real soft on the…
Hi Andrew, here is my attempt at finding quad diagonals. It's very far from perfection and absolutely not optimized, but I hope it helps anyway. Just select a bunch of faces and press "Select!", it tries to find and select diagonal edges on most squared tri-couples. If no faces are selected, it works on the whole Editable…

Hi, I had briefly considered that but eventually decided it defeated the purpose of ergonomics. Also, I'm not sure that the software would allow for toggle functionality. Additionally it would seem that binding hot-keys to keys on the number pad would eliminate the number input functionality which I use from time to time…
I really don't see "blast door". There aren't any big ass hinges showing the functionality of a door. You have a lot of shapes on that door that just makes it blend in with the other parts of the whole objects making the door buried and hard to see with all these miscellaneous objects. Which kinda gets to my next point.…
Hi, I've been trying for a while to code in maxscript a function to move all the keys of a biped on the time line to make the motion start at an other time. But it's just a nightmare and I did not find any simple way to do it... For others stuffs than a biped the following work fineselectKeys $.controller moveKeys…
