I have met a lot of successful indie devs in-person and brought this question up a lot. The unanimous answer is you must release it on PC. The internet (reddit, FB, etc) is free marketing to a good game via word-of-mouth. If the game is on PC, people talk about it and share links on where to buy with one another. Other…
I was sort of alluding to this in the other thread on modo, but I'm still curious if it can cover any of the big game production work outside of modelling? I'd love to try it out over learning more maya but I can't tell if modo is able to replace maya for character rigging, animation, scene and collab referencing tasks,…
There are ways and means of obtaining/creating it which are quite labourious. Alternatively, depending on what sort of scale you are looking for you could look at Digital Elevation Models (DEM's) The USGS gives free data for the majority of the US but not the rest of the world. You can also buy DEM's from some sites. The…
I've been playing this game since it came out I think the Oct 15th? and its a blast. The devs patch the game pretty much everyday and I have never seen devs listen to the community this much! I recommend picking it up, its buggy ya...but not that bad. Add me on skype or steam if you wanna play! If were to compare vs DayZ…
Great stuff everyone! I just recently got hooked up with 3D printing and got obsessed with making 3D printed charms and jewelries :3 . I will share a few here: ^Church of the Machine God from Deus Ex: Mankind Divided :3 . My new fav necklace. Another Deus Ex tribute :3 . A dreamcatcher necklace :) The Shift Glyph from Soul…
Ah! Thanks for the reminder. With that in mind I might be able to make a couple entries, as opposed to just one. (Free time willing!) I agree though that the Skull den looks a little too sparse at the moment. I suppose I'm kind of nervous about adding TOO much stuff in there, as it feels like the regular dens in the game…
As a developer, I want Nintendo to turn it around in a HUGE way. $230million lost this quarter.. and not a single developer was laid off Facing abysmal sales, and their worst sales performance in decades, and not a single first party developer was laid off. Despite facing abysmal sales numbers for Donkey Kong Tropical…
Thanks for the tips, I will make sure everyone who comes takes that information on board. I look forward to seeing what you create. Its amazing when you see a game and the mechanic is so simple but yet the game is amazing, of the top of my head Thomas was Alone, Dear Esther, Monument Valley for example. Thomas was Alone-…
Thanks guys, I finally figured out why I couldn't fillObject the M, it was a very silly mistake. I didn't turn off the recording mode. I totally forgot that I was trying out layers and had the recording btn on. It was only because I wanted to del higer div to save the tool out as a smaller file to upload for you…
Adding another rotation controller on top of the constrainted one should be enough. Here is a quick maxfile showing that approach: exhaust_text.max (max 2010). Instead of wiring rotations to a dummy I also added a simple CA UI to it with a spinner controlling the rotation (see the attached picture). def = attributes…
