Torque 3D Open Source vs Torque (original)
Anyone have experience working with both? I might have a project coming up that is using the Torque 3D open version. I still have nightmares working with the original Torque. Specifically things that effect artists and tech artists. I remember the horrors of having no gloss materials, no realtime previews, Alpha sorting,… -
Some CryEngine questions...
Hello, I have some questions about the cryengine. 1. If I want to paint my terrain with my own texture, do I have to make a material first (in 3ds max) then export it as .mtl, import it to the cryengine, convert the textures in photoshop to crytiff and load them into the material?? Or is there an easier and more direct way… -

Finding a common model format for Unreal3 editing
Hey guys. I'm currently working on a Unreal3 modification and the fact that some env artists use max and others use maya is becoming a huge annoyance. I'm a max 8 user myself and whenever I import .obj files I get a lot of flipped faces, besides also losing all the UV information. I tried importing the .mtl file as well… -
One object - Separate shaders? (Vray) What would you recommend?
Hi! I'm making a 3D character and I've just started UV unwrapping when it hit me.... I want to use different shaders on this character. I have 2 screenshots 1- showing the general character geometry 2. showing the separate objects making my character. The main issue is the middle section (2). I want to use the Vray SSS… -
Re: Will I be able to continue developing my 3d skillset and having a job non-related to this field?
Drink, birds, chickens, STDs and/or SARs aside! OP, labouring as a Tiler is the sensible option in order too fund whilst along side underpin your continued CG progress as those responses above thus far clearly point out is entirely possible/doable, so really the 'ball is definitely in your court' as too whether a… -
Re: Workspace lighting?
In our old building, the art department always had the overhead lights turned off. I'm all for natural light, and don't like overhead flourescent lighting. When we moved into the new building, artists, designers & programmers are all fairly intermingled, and thus the lights stay on all the time. Also, many in the other… -
Re: 3D Art - Whats your story?
it started when my dad brought home a Sinclair ZX81 and showed me how to make simple graphics with the "graphic" characters. Moved on to a VC20, C64 (Geos paint!), my Dad's XT (MS paintbrush), Amiga (DPaint, Autodesk Animator). Got my first 3D experience with 3D Studio DOS (r2.5 I think?). I didn't dabble with 3D for a few… -
Re: Having constant headaches at work
Ok so I figured out it was the temperature and dehydration (water drinking was a good idea). It's sweating hot here and the air is heavy. It's 35 outside and we've been through a period of heat wave in Mtl. At home, ti's so fresh, I can wear my hoodie.-_- I never experience this problem. I'm not going over and complain… -
Re: HTTPS
In that case what are the passwords sent in? The common consensus of security professionals seems to be: Send any credentials via an SSL encryption. I understand that Polycount is just a forum and it's hardly like logging into a bank account but as the following link will describe, password re-use and other factors could…
