Re: Maya 6 or Below?
Wow! Thanks for the idea. I actually have some books sitting around here from that time. I'll check that out. EDIT: One of my books had Maya 6 PLE in it, but it kept asking for an activation code, saying I needed to Register with Alias. Well, of course that didn't work. So I poked around in the darkest depths of the… -
Re: Max 2008 viewport shadows with normal map
Solar, If you'd like to get your hands dirty with a little bit of shader coding, I can probably show you how to edit your shader so that it will support shadows. You have to add a couple of lines of code to it in various places so that shadows will work. Otherwise, your best bet is probably to grab the new version of… -
Re: Maya texture filtering question
Arsh practising thread necromancy!! I tried to fix the code, since it looks like the forums had butchered a huge amount of the notation (removed all \ characters and converted & to &), so I basically rebuilt parts of it, but the forums are swallowing all the variables starting with $, so I can't ever get it to display… -
Re: Time for some PC upgrades, need some recommendations.
I would maybe invest in a good CPU such as 4930k (or even 4960k if you have alot of dough). When it comes down to rendering and anything 3D in general the regular ones does not cut it. I would also get 32GB ram, i have 16 and on several occasions had to close down apps due to lack of ram. But as your budget is fairly low,… -
Re: Figure drawing
hey man, cool stuff. i should do some of these.... i'm assuming you want some crits so i'll just be blunt. I think the shapes that make up these figures is unappealing, and the proportions are wrong as well. in addition, the line work isn't very interesting... and the perspective doesn't appear to be right either. IMO, you… -
Re: Are we forgetting the art of optimization in 3D workflows?
One thing I personally have to be careful of is a potential implication that whatever I post as an admin might be perceived as coming from a “voice of authority”. But most of the time it’s not, I’m just another artist sharing my work and offering feedback. Shrug. -
My game has been released Joy Ride Turbo!
Joy Ride Turbo has been released to the public! My rave review below. I have finished the entire game and I am still playing it to set times against my friends. I’m a bit biased having worked on the game, but I think it’s a very fun quality product and I am quite proud of it. For those that don’t know Kinect has been… -
Re: Need For Speed - The Run
(disclaimer: not really going on about The Run here, but the past games and people prefering them) You know it's not just the stupid customizing that gets taken to the absolute depths of tastelessness (it's gone so far that you can still see the influence those games and movies had, on the street, when some boy racer with… -
Creator of Crazybump, Ryan Clark
Polycount’s Ryan Jackson talked recenty with Ryan Clark about the development of Crazybump, a tool most game artists now use in their regular arsenal of tools. Ryan Jackson - Before we begin let me just say congratulations! Since Crazybump has been out of Beta it's been quite the success! We've certainly seen a ton of… -
Re: Environment based Game Demo - By Ibasaweno
Great idea and work so far! I think restricting movement to only the player character in view might become frustrating in cases where you want to do something simple like moving to a location without needing to first ensure both bots can see the destination and eachother during transit. I would keep the current control…
