Recommend me a modelling app
Hi, Let me preface this by saying this is NOT a vs thread. I just want some recommendations. Long story short after 4-5 years of modelling in it, I'm DONE with Maya; Autodesk has proven that they can not handle development on it and their incompetence has me pulling my hair out at the roots, my meshes are randomly becoming… -

Here's a new update for the demo of Star Wars - Redemption, bringing new areas to visit, new assets, adjusted enemies (with a new addition to the collection), new rules, and improved gamefeel. Please find all details on changes, at the end of this post ;) But first ! Let's see major improvements (It's live, you… -
Re: Baking sharp deepening problem
I hate cages too. And I have not noticed marmoset does it any different. But I am not sure, haven't used it much. I myself just have all vertex normals up in such case. it helps with lods too. And I keep same UV on hires model. Then I just have a material in Blender where input geometry node normals have been *0,5+0,5, for… -
Re: Curious about face weighted normals
For decades I called them "rotated" normals since I rotated them perpendicular to a surface I wanted to look/ be shaded flat for an expense of uglier gradient in tiny bevels. So for a while I didn't understand what people mean with "face weighted" You could perfectly use that average selected button in MAx ( with face… -
Sven, The Hoplite
Sven, The Hoplite Hello everyone! I'm new to the forums and I wanted to get your feedback on my first project for Dota 2. I was thinking of a complete set for Sven based on the hoplite soldier of ancient Greece. Here are some concept ideas I sketched and inspiration (that I got from museums and the internet) I've had for… -
Re: Has any one used PTex for their art pipeline? (INo UV creation required)
This helps explain the painting workflow and gives you a peek at how it handles things. It's pretty straight forward and not that different from how some people work now.

Re: UDK APEX destructible project WIP
Sorry man, we did kinda hijack your thread. :( 1) Lighting seems decent enough. Basically it's just good ol' dynamic shadows and light environments, right? Lightmaps really aren't an issue so I don't see much room for improvment. 2) Your scene could possibly use some colour. Try some ancient, faded paint. Theres plent of… -
Re: Ruins for class project
Well, first of all! Its great work and beyond the stuff I'm doing. However, here are the little things I would like to point out. This is also my first feedback on such a more developed piece: The green arrows point out spots where the texture is repeating itself in a way the player might spot. You see, it has this patch… -
Re: A Really Hard Flash Game
Well, I'm sure you remember that the player ship only collides with bullets with its center pixel and I don't think the bullets should be any smaller as that'd make the game easier and demand more bullets. It was written for the ancient X68000 computer and apparently already uses a hack to handle that many bullets at all .… -
Re: 3DMAX & VRML
You asked in email about how I did the vertex colors and animation export, IIRC. I can't really remember all the tech bits. Some stuff I posted before... We were able to instance characters in that VRML game, to keep the download super small. The fish, bubbles, and seaweed were all instanced. We used some primitives, since…
