Re: Maxscript: why storing frequently used function in variable doesn't make access to function faster?
Normally caching the function works really well. But you're correct it has no effect on this particular function. I took a pass on the script it went from 1.08 seconds to 0.04 seconds. The basic ideas to make things faster (with MaxScript) are avoid using memory in loops, and avoid converting data types especially in… -
Re: [UDK]Abandoned Room
If you look at most rooms in any house, they aren't completely square, or four walls only. There can be bumps where fireplaces once were, concave corners that stem from other rooms and ceilings that slope down on some sides. Here's a quick ref pic for clarification:… -
Re: P40 Warkhawk WIP - Critique Requested
Some food for thought. it's a good start just a few things I noticed. 1)Those window supports are way to thick.. and it appears you've brought out the cockpit rather than making it flush? 2)Where the wing meets the fuselage it tappers down more towards the end then smooths out into the fuselage. 3)Again where there wing… -
Re: Goldeneye Wii
I finally caved and picked up a wii this weekend, got the mario red one. Grabbed goldeneye and dead space extraction which was done by the same guys (eurocom). the art in both games is fucking stellar for being on the wii. the lighting in some areas of goldeneye rivals some nextgen stuff ive seen, not in terms of shadow… -
Re: bounding volumes for physics and collisions
Which program are you using? Yes I use an invisible low poly cage for physics. Using a lower poly invisible cage will help keep your calculation time lower. It also lets you omit little details that can cause issues like a belt, a holster or rivets. For objects that interact with characters I use biped as a deflection… -
Re: Doom 3 Style Crate
![[HP]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/PW2278Q17H7M/nK9DV1HH4CBZK.jpg)
Hey guys, thank you very much, great feedback here, I really appreciate it! Maybe a displacement map would be justified, or maybe not depending on your goal for texture memory. Now that I'm finished with this prop I'm looking back at the workflow I used and a couple more tris would be justified, even if it's just a crate.… -
Re: Modo Rules!
Modo is indeed awesome, and that link to Seneca's action centers tutorial is one of the clearest explanations of why. I don't think it'll ever come close to Maya even if they do add skeletal animation- the infrastructure just doesn't appear to be there. Bizarrely, they demo'd skeletal animation in their 'Nexus' siggraph… -
Re: CrazyBump beta
Ryan, I am very new to Crazybump, just finding out about it a few days ago. I have downloaded the 2.5 beta, and installed the latest .NET files. I still am unable to get the beta to run, what do I look into next? Error immediately after loading the beta. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a171/vkirchner/crazy25.jpg… -
Re: Brand New Game Art Grad Here!
i was just as surprised as Virtuosic about the art Institute of Vancover. I just recently graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and we cant really choose what we want to specialize in,were taught to be a jack of all trades which is good because your more marketable but it sucks for the student that can ONLY model… -
Re: Animating women...
Yep you got it. It's a cheap way to get up and down motion if you only have access to bone rotation. An even easier method if you can use bone position(transform) is to use a spring controller but most games don't allow position (unreal does, not sure about unity or torque. [ame]…
