Particle Emitter Velocity over Life
Hello everybody! I'll get straight to the point: I am making a cold breath particle system with smoke particles but I get some strange results from my "Velocity over Life" module. I set my initial velocity to lets say X: 300 Y:0 Z:0 It works fine and my particles fly off in my particle systems positive X direction. I… -

Re: Looking for actual Critiques
Gonna pop in here for a minute, just rattle off some things. First - to me, your main issue is consistency. Ignoring the death metal logo/any font and just focusing on the rest of the image you've got - it doesn't read to me like a consistent, confident style. You've got parts of it that scream web comic and parts of it… -
Re: 3ds max Rig and skin for posing
Perhaps try this: 1. set the character in the desired pose (t-pose) 2. select the mesh (with Skin modifier) 3. in the main menu bar : Tools > Snapshot (options Single and Mesh) This will create a copy of the mesh in Max, set to the t-pose with no Skin modifier. 4. select the mesh with Skin modifier 5. Set Skin to Off (eye… -
Re: First Year Student - New To Polycount
also Welcome! I will be graduating from Ai-Orange County Next quarter. Good luck, you're already off to a better start than 85% off all the GAD students there by lurking through these forums and posting early. If game art is you passion, better get ready to obsess over it, network your ass off, and model, model, model! A… -
Re: Lighting Dynamic Objects properly?
It is using a light env right now, I suppose (unless you turned that off), so to improve it you could: Lightmap the meshes so the lighting is baked in. This is most seamless but doesn't work if the pieces animate in such way that it is obvious the lighting doesn't update. This would also be fastest for performance. You'd… -
Re: Lara Croft
You and me both! :) I would love to see a return to the more stylized Lara - with stylized enemies and environments to match. But back to the thread: As others have pointed out, the head proportions are a little off. The relative position of eyes, ears and mouth are so important and it feels weird when they are even… -
Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates
http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/08/08/10/1553224.shtml I kinda get the feeling that PC gaming will eventually die off, Gamestop has a limited selection of PC games. Digital distribution (ie, Steam) is definitely the safest media for PC developers. edit: die off meaning off the store shelves. -
Re: first model: simple pillar
My example is more a final mesh form, but you could go in and remove more polygons and make it a bit nicer I think... Blocking out would be like drawing each obvious shape as a simple Max primitive. In the attached image I've just drawn in the cylinders for all the main parts. The top is just an appropriately sized… -
Re: Get ready q4!
Thats a nice shot of a lot of wasted ploys, the poly-miser in me just had a heart attack. Hopefully when I get to work I will have more time to offer up some crits. EDIT: (I'm sure I come off sounding like a dick, I hope you can look past that ans see what I mean) Ok had some time to come up with something more than a…
