Re: My friend says mods aren't good on a portfolio, looking for opinions!
I would say above all else, your work needs to look amazing. If you have to make visual sacrifices because of the engine you are using for the mod then it becomes a problem. If person x makes 5 bad-ass beautiful environments while you're still exporting a metal bucket for Skyrim then person x gets the job. I do believe… -
Re: exporting alpha maps in a diffuse texture
Panda exports .X files. But it looks like it only makes BMPs out of your textures? BMP supports alpha but it's only on/off alpha IIRC. You should try .DDS format instead, which is Microsoft's texture format so it will work with .X files. Do you have Photoshop? Nvidia makes a plugin for Photoshop that saves in DDS format.… -
Re: Importing FBX rig into Max
Rigs made in Maya are typically created this way because it allows you to rotate the bones "symmetrically". If you select the upper leg bones, turn on AutoKey, and rotate them both on their local axis you'll see this behavior. This isn't a problem at all, but the reason it's drawing inverted is because 3ds Max expects the… -
Re: The Monthly CHARACTER Challenge | September 2014 | Zilean / Chakram Assassin
@PyrZern hmm....so the marmoset don't render in real time? Your retopo is really good...I'm was thinking in the same way that Orange, rigging going to be a pain, say what way you think was better if you test Finish for today, but I just realize that I forgot the eyebrows (ahh X-x")...used viewport 2.0 this time too....and… -
Re: My new set up
Yo yo yoo, wait a sec! My table has 4 special manufactured chrome 24 inch cintiques and 2 x 12 inch cintiques! If you are a person with 6 arms you can sculpt a 10 Sdived detailed head unter 3.1 minutes. The Table is powered by 16 x 8Ghz. The Keyboard is made of gold. The table is automaticly moveable and rotateable and can… -
Re: My first prop - Japanese Bridge.
Finished the base of my texture, and I would like to know what you guys think of it. It is currently 1024 x 512. Do game engines support this size, or do they have to be in even numbers like 512 x 512? I'm going to add some vines and leaves onto the texture, and maybe some bird crap for the handrails. I think I will also… -
Re: Modeling enviornments for MMO
I don't think 1024 x 1024 maps are too small for most outdoor architecture, although it all depends on how things are broken up. I never see maps larger than 1024 x 1024 on the MMO I'm working on. To keep things current I think it's a good idea to do normal maps like you are planning, as well as specular color/level maps.… -
Re: TGS -Soul Calibur 3
Graphics wise it doesn't seem all that different from Soul Calibur 2. I'm a little disappointed there are no plans for X-Box and GameCube ports like there was with the previous game. Abolutely loved it on the GameCube It's been nice to see new characters and modes being introduced, and the character creation seems awesome.… -
Re: 1940's jeep
Here's some of the reference I'm using for the jeep....more so the canister on the back. they both have 3 handles actually....for whatever reason. I have a couple more that have two handles. I just thought it'd look more visually interesting to go with the two handled container. As far as the "x" goes...yeah it was a pain.… -
Re: Assimilation is complete. (or G4 sucks)
I knew something would go wrong when the two channels were grafted together, like Ray Milland's head on Rosie Grier's body. Bad sign: In stark contrast to all G4 shows, 'X-Play' would actually givegames BAD reviews! Clearly not driven by marketing, the X-Play reviews would actually point out if games had poor playability,…
