MAYA - Advanced IK twist controls help
Hello Polycount, I have been trying to learn how to rig recently, however I have run into a snag that I can't seem to figure out. I have searched the forums as well as Google looking for an answer. While I have found some similar questions, none really went into my specific problem. So I apologize if there is something… -
February 1GAM - A Dangerous Venture
Firstly, hello! I'm excited to get involved with PolyCount. I've done a lot of reading on the site, but this is my first post. :) For February, my partner and I were working on a 2D top-down dungeon crawler called "A Dangerous Venture" (Working Title). We built it using Unity3D and 2DTK. I'm a 3D generalist by hobby, but… -
Re: Help with trim sheet material shader setup?
Yes I was thinking I guess i'll have to have 2-4 material slots on my models, and then have a few material instances for a tilable rubber, plastic, wood etc that I can then apply on each surface that needs it. They would each have their own normal map for small details, while the model has a unique normal map or from the… -
Goliath
For more than a hundred days, the biggest battle in Europe since the end of the Second World War has been raging. Millions of people have lost their homes and many of them their lives because of the fighting. It is very difficult to imagine the feelings and sufferings of people who are going through this hell and have no… -
Re: Advice with Learning Shader Programming
Hey jacky. I see some weirdness: float4 light = saturate(dot(N,L)); float4 Diffuse = ColorTexture * light; a dot product always returns a single float, not a vector. So what happens when you put this into a float 4, is that every component (r, g, b and a) get assigned this value. It will look grey scale with that same grey… -
Re: Railgun Sniper Rifle
@roosterMAP: Thanks! Yes, I agree... however, despite working on the textures, I have not yet created the gloss map. But, it will be there in the next post! @BobtheGreatII, mr_ace, hamzaaa, Meteorkid: Thanks for the feedback guys! Yall have definitely helped me decide which direction to go with the hoof. @l.croxton: Ha, no… -
Re: 3d work/Gaming/Affordable Laptop?
Try to get a manufacturer which makes their own circuitry versus just buying someone elses. Toshiba, Acer, Asus, MSI, IBM (now sold under different name - forger), and Twinhead come to mind. You can usually find more options for future upgrades versus another manufacturer who will only "support" how the laptop was… -
Re: Transformers: The Movie
[ QUOTE ] Take this example when Ang Lee released the Hulk. The majority hated it because they wanted to see the Hulk destroy things, (mind you, I enjoyed the movie), but Ang Lee was all about 'art', 'presentation of character', and characterization. What he failed to realize is that people just wanted to see an action… -
Re: Max script batch process question
Ok, so here's where I am right now. I found a piece of code that looks like it'll recursively go through the existing directory structure of a given folder and collect up all the max files. I'm trying to integrate it with the multires removal code but it just ends up falling apart. thePath = getSavePath() --get a path… -
Re: The Walking Dead SPOILER THREAD
Yeah end this searching stuff. Kinda boring. Barn scene... WTF?! I didn't read the comics so don't know what does it mean (have some ideas of course but don't want to spoil it ;p). I hate how it ends like that. Best few seconds of this episode and it ends ... (I know... no tv serials without cliff hangers ;p). Oh and…
